Teaching recall is essential for puppies, you can’t force a pup to come to you, but you can make them love coming back to you.

Buddy's owners were struggling to get him to perform basic obedience, so whilst they were away, both Buddy and Karim (their trained A1K9 family protection dog) came back to A1K9, Karim for a top up and refresher and Buddy for a 2 week bootcamp.
The results achieved with Buddy were beyond their expectations and I quote their words, you have trained the untrainable!

This got me thinking as for years people have asked if we could offer a shorter residential training package, to coincide with their holidays, or extended business trips and it is something we have never offered - UNTIL NOW.

Boot Camp is now available for your pet and during their two week stay at our kennel, we will work with whatever aspects of your dogs' obedience training that you feel could be improved upon.

The Bootcamp is not designed to take the place of our established 4 to 5 week residential obedience course as clearly, it is not possible to cram 4 to 5 weeks training into two, however, I am sure it will prove popular with those who cannot bring themselves to part with their beloved Pet for a month or more.

Interested? Please give us a call to book your slot in advance as there are limited spaces available each month.

Oh and thank you Buddy for giving me the inspiration and the idea. CW :)

“Is it me? Is it my dog? Or both?” Understanding your relationship with your dog is fundamental to effective & humane training.

educate/ communicate with better handler habits

The relationship between you and your dog is special. Each of you have your own personality, preferences, skills and habits. Some of the habits are good ones, some may not be. These courses will help you look at your habits and identify ways you can enhance or improve them.

Going through the tunnel is a learning experience for dogs when they do this for the first time, it’s a bit frightening dark and colder than outside, but once they have been brave and got through they can’t wait to do it again.
