Our Services
You got your dog to enjoy life and have fun adventures together, but sometimes their behaviour can make this stressful and embarrassing. This is why we coach dog owners to get unstuck and feel confident again, so that you can live a bigger, more fun life together.

NEXT INTAKE - May 4th 2025
working on clear communication, leash walking, recall, down, settle, and using play to provide outlets for our dogs natural drives & build impulse control. Suitable for fully vaccinated puppies, adolescents and adult dogs needing some foundation training help (NOT significant behavioural challenges). All on lead in an outdoor space.
Next Steps - 6 weeks, taking your foundation class skills and meeting in a new location each week to apply it in the real world. Introducing some social skills, gradually moving to off leash as dogs are ready.
Our dogs were all developed for specific purposes. Just because they’re no longer required to work in these roles, doesn’t mean the drives we bred them for just disappear. When we learn to work with and control those drives instead of avoiding them, life with our working breed dogs gets a whole lot better.
