Training should begin the moment your dog comes home. It’s not about correcting problems later, it’s about building good habits from the start.

Too often we see owners wait until behaviour becomes reactive before seeking help, when proactive training could have prevented those struggles altogether.

The good news is it doesn’t matter how old your dog is. Whether you have a young puppy or an adult rescue, it’s never too late to start building structure, boundaries, and engagement. Dogs are always learning, and the right approach can make a difference at any stage.

Proactive training sets dogs up for success, while reactive training helps undo habits that have already formed. Both have value, but the best results come from starting early and staying consistent.

Build trust, set clear expectations, and remember that every day is an opportunity to teach. 🐾

Curious cows and not a care in the world.

This is the result of good environmental training and exposure.

Before you fall in love with a breed, think about the lifestyle. Every breed was created with a purpose, whether it’s guarding, herding, retrieving, or simply keeping laps warm, and those instincts don’t disappear just because a dog lives in a family home.

As balanced trainers, we see it all the time: great dogs placed in environments that don’t match their genetic needs. A working-line dog with no outlet for drive can become frustrated and reactive.

A laid-back companion breed might struggle in a high-intensity household.

The “right breed” isn’t about trends or appearance. It’s about compatibility.

Ask yourself:
🐕 How much time can I dedicate to exercise and training?
🏡 What kind of structure and boundaries can I provide?
👨‍👩‍👧 How well do I understand drive, energy, and impulse control?

When genetics and lifestyle align, training becomes smoother, relationships grow stronger, and both ends of the lead are happier.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A wonderful review for Freya!

“Runa for joined the pet leisure co. when she was about 5 months old she was a nervous dog around traffic and would not listen on walks and would always pull to the point where she was becoming to strong and nearly had me over. until she met freya, we started off with weekly sessions working on heel work and building up confidence around traffic.

Runa has come a long way on walks and being confident around traffic and other activities she loves her sessions.

We are now at the point where she is on once a month lessons and shes learning new things every lesson she has. id highly recommend using this company to all friends and family”

Why do we carry out consultations in your home?

Because that’s where your dog’s true behaviour happens. Seeing them in their own environment helps me understand how they respond to real-life situations, routines, and the people they know best.

Some behaviours only appear at home, not in a training hall or park, so working where your dog feels most comfortable gives the clearest picture of what’s really going on.

This means we can tailor training to suit your dog’s personality and your lifestyle, making the results more natural, consistent, and long-lasting.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I have got a rescue beagle Molly that has been kenneled and not socialised or lead walked. She was very reactive to other dogs on our walks. Reece has been fantastic with both her and myself. He recommended using a French collar on her so I had more control when she was reactive. He walked her and controlled her reactivity and taught me how to respond to her when she was reactive. It's not only the dogs that need training, it is the owners as well. Molly has improved and made so much progress with the help of Reece. She still has a little way to go. I am confident that after Reece's guidance I can respond to her reactivity. I would recommend The Pet Leisure Company to anyone who needs help training their dog. They have really helped me.”

🐶 Breeds and Their Stereotypes 🐶

From food-obsessed Labradors to bossy little Dachshunds, every breed seems to come with a reputation.

But do these stereotypes ring true in your house?
We’d love to know… do you agree with these, or does your dog break the stereotype? 🐾

1-1 Training With The Pet Leisure Co🐕

What to Expect!

New clients are joining daily and often have the question of what they should expect so here’s a typical break down of the training journey for those new to us😀

Step 1: You’ve contacted our customer service and booked your free consultation and asked any questions you may have had about us.

Step 2: Your designated trainer will visit your home for the consultation to meet you and your dog. This is more for your trainers benefit to get a good idea of the problems you’re facing and the goals you have. While meeting your dog in a neutral environment we get a good idea of his/hers temprament and how we can adapt training to their individual personality.

Step 3: You’re happy with the consultation and would like to start training. Our customer service advisor will give you a call to book in your sessions you simply pick if you want 1, 2, 3 or 4 sessions per month. She is your point of call for anything booking related if you need to change a session, cancel a session or upgrade and downgrade your package as well as giving any feedback you may have on the service. We do this to allow our trainers more time to focus on training and take away the stress of managing their own diaries which when theyre fully booked is a job in its self.

Step 4: Training begins. The first session is always a bonding session. Time for your dog or puppy to get to know the trainer as they’ll be handling your dog to demonstrate techniques. It also gives us a better understanding of any outside factors that may affect the training.

Step 5: Now your dog is comfortable in the trainers presence we can start actively targeting your goals. This usually looks like adding a behaviour or aiming to remove a behaviour. This is normally done in a more relaxed environment.

Step 6: We’ve achieved the goal of teaching your dog the behaviour or reaching a point where an undesirable behaviour isn’t showing now it’s time to proof the behaviour increasing the pressure and changing the environment to see if the training has stuck. Expect a fair bit of troubleshooting as new enviroments and environmental pressures will likely decrease the effectiveness of the training which is where the name proofing comes from this is where your trainer is worth their weight in gold for their ability to problem solve in real time.

Step 7: Testing time. This is the point where we test the training we’ll be picking the hardest scenarios we can think of. Imagine reactive dogs walking calmly through a popular dog walking spot.

Step 8: The testing is good and we’ve achieved the goals you set out to achieve. If you’re confident enough and have learnt all the maintenance skills we’ve taught you then you’re set to tackle the world with you’re happily trained dog but don’t forget like any skill of it’s not practised it can deteriorate and revert which is why we recomend maintenance sessions every month or every other month to allow us to keep on top of training.

Ever feel like everyone online is arguing about how to train your dog?

You’re not alone. Dog training can be confusing, with strong opinions on every side. Some say you should never say no to your dog. Others believe you need to be the pack leader. Then there are those who insist treats can solve everything.

The truth? None of those extremes tell the full story.

As a balanced dog trainers, we believe in using both positive reinforcement and calm, fair corrections when needed. It’s about clear communication and mutual respect, helping your dog understand what’s right without fear or confusion.

✅ The Facts:
• Balanced training recognises that dogs learn through both rewards and boundaries.
• It’s adaptable, evidence-based, and tailored to each individual dog.
• The goal is a confident, happy, and well-behaved dog who truly understands what’s expected of them.

🚫 The Myths:
• “Balanced trainers use fear.” – In reality, good training builds trust, not tension.
• “It’s all about punishment.” – Correction is simply fair information delivered calmly.
• “It’s only for difficult dogs.” – Balanced training works for all dogs, from excitable puppies to experienced companions.

If you want a dog you can enjoy life with and a training approach that actually makes sense, I’d love to help.

Training should feel fair, fun, and effective for both ends of the lead. 🐾
