Dog Boot Camp

The More Fun You Have Together, The Better Your Dog Behaves

Intensive, Small, Friendly, Interactive Groups

Does any of this sound familiar?

✓ Your dog’s recall was perfect… until they discovered something more interesting than you

✓ You are looking for more fun activities and challenging skills to learn with your dog

✓ Walks have turned into a battle of wills (and they’re winning!)

✓ You love your dog to bits but sometimes wonder what’s going on in their head

✓ Life keeps getting in the way of “proper” training sessions

✓ You just want to enjoy quality time together without the stress

When our dogs are ‘naughty,’ they’re just being dogs, not deliberately naughty. Lots of reason why this happens and it doesn’t mean you’re failing as an owner.

The problem?

✅Life gets in the way and it’s so easy to let things slip.

✅Most training feels like work (for both of you).

The solution?

Training that’s so much fun, you can’t wait to do it and your dog can’t wait to join in – this way the good behaviour happens naturally.

What others have to say

🐾 Lead Walking & Recall Transformation
"Had a great couple of days with our German Shepherd. Training was great and we've come away more confident with his recall. His lead walking is better and I've now walked him round Botley without my husband having to take the lead. We now believe we have the tools to stop him running off and chasing."

- John, Debbie and Conan

I've had a great time. I only wish I could come regularly, but it's too far away. I've learned so much and it's really helped me to understand my dog better and see where I've been going wrong.

- Lynne

🐾 Freedom to Explore
"Buddy's recall was so limited, he spent most walks on the lead. Now we're confidently letting him off in the forest! The difference in our daily walks is incredible."

- Buddy's Mum

🐾 From Frustration to Fun
"I used to get so cross with my dog, now I can enjoy them and have fun. Finally understanding why we've had problems has changed everything!"

- Poppy's Mum
