Residential dog training that hands you back the lead.

Is residential dog training a good idea?

Absolutely. Residential training gives your dog something that can be difficult to achieve through occasional lessons alone: consistency.

Instead of practising once a week, your dog works with their trainer throughout the day in short, focused sessions, allowing us to reinforce good choices, build new habits and make meaningful progress across a concentrated period of time.

We regularly help with lead walking, recall, general obedience, jumping up, impulse control, confidence, reactivity, resource guarding and other challenging behaviours. Every dog is treated as an individual, and your trainer will tailor their approach around your dog’s personality, behaviour and training goals.

Most importantly, we don’t simply train your dog and send them home. Every course finishes with a detailed handover lesson so you understand exactly what your dog has learned and how to continue their progress at home, with ongoing support afterwards.

How much does your course cost?

Our intensive training courses start at £745 per week, fully inclusive. A non-refundable deposit is taken at the point of booking to secure your dates. These fees are a one off and include our lifetime of support.

How long is the course?

The course is flexible in length, with a minimum stay of 5 days. Dogs often stay longer; it depends on what training level you are looking to achieve. Our four courses cover 5, 10, 15 or 20 training days.

Do I really get a lifetime of training and support?

Quite simply, yes. Any dog that has attended one of our residential courses is entitled to a lifetime of free support from our team. After a 5-day stay that is digital support by email or phone; after 10 days or more it includes one-to-one sessions back at the facility with your trainer. Compare that with a few sessions with a local trainer.

Can residential training fix reactivity?

Reactivity can be greatly reduced. On-lead reactivity is covered from the Standard course. For dog reactivity, resource guarding and aggressive on-lead reactivity we recommend the 15-day Advanced course; for people reactivity and dog aggression, the 20-day Reactivity course gives our trainers the best chance of success. We will always be honest about what is realistic for your dog.

Does my dog need to be vaccinated?

Yes. In line with UK law, any dog staying at a kennels must be checked in with proof of up-to-date vaccinations. Please bring your dog’s vaccination record: without it, we cannot accept your dog onto the course.
