Welcome to Da Capo Dogs - my name is Zachary and I am the Founder and Head Trainer.
We are a Positive Reinforcement (R+) and Force Free dog training company, based in the beautiful village of Langtree in North Devon. We offer a wide variety of classes and one to one training sessions, as well as our online monthly membership!
As a trainer I specialise in working with reactive dogs, adolescent/teenage dogs, and am a qualified and experienced Assistance Dog trainer. (In fact if you're local to the area you may well have seen me out and about with my own assistance dog Hiro!)
I have nearly 5 years of professional dog training experience, and have taught everything from standard puppy classes to high level sports like Rally and Agility, and I've even taught scent detection and wheelchair mushing!
Our philosophy is to get to the root of what our dogs need, and to treat every dog and client as an individual - we never give generic one-size-fits-all advice or make claims that there's a magic solution for anything! We care about you and your dog having a positive relationship, and making sure that you can communicate with each other.
No matter who you are or who your dog is, whether they're a new puppy or an aggressive dog with a bite history, we want to do everything we can to help. All we ever ask is that you give us the time to go back to the beginning with your dog, and that you communicate with us openly.
To contact us directly please feel free to email [email protected], or send us a WhatsApp message on 07735 744109 - please be aware that we can't currently take phone calls, and apologise for any inconvenience!
