FAQS

WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO DOG TRAINING?

We are Games-Based, Concept trainers. That means we help you to shape your dog's brain in the right direction. Dogs do more of what they do every day. They don't grow out of behaviours, they grow into behaviours. So let's teach them the right behaviours they need to be calm, focused, and stress-free. All through playing fun games that will light you and your dog up. We love games-based training as it is fun and functional and we can't wait to share it with you! Most owners give up on training because it's seen as a chore. Not games-based training! You'll love how our approach is flexible and fun and fits right in to everyday life hassle free.

All our courses are small numbers with two trainers, so you get lots of one-to-one time to move you and your dog in the right direction.

• We have Puppy FUNdamentals for puppies aged 8-20 weeks. If your puppy is outside of those ages, please reach out to us and send us an email and we'd love to chat about options. 

• We have our Chaos to Calm course for those pesky teens and older dogs who have turned their ears off and and most likely making you nuts with their new found freedom (and possibly not coming when called). Let us show you how to get your relationship back on track with your dog, teach them more calmness in their lives and teach you how to get them focused and listening again with fun, interactive games. This course covers how to build disengagement from distractions, engagement with you, strategies for reactive dogs and general management strategies to work towards calmness. We cover some seriously geeky dog theory to help you understand your dog.

• Coming in 2024: Monthly top-up training sessions with a different topic each month to keep you moving forward with your dog training needs.

• One-to-one sessions also available. Maybe you don't think your dog will cope with a class situation and you want some trainer time to work through your unique struggles. Book a course of 3 sessions with one of our trainers to move you through a transformation plan for you and your dog. We set you up with a set of games to transform your dog from where they are now, to where you need them to be. We review your progress every 3-4 weeks to give you time to work on the games, then set you some new games to progress you forward each time.

IS MY DOG TOO OLD TO BE TRAINED?

Dogs are never too old to have their brain reshaped! And that is exactly what games do - they reshape the brain. Maybe you've had the luxury of a perfectly well-trained or well behaved dog, but now their older than 7 and the senior changes that are happening to your dog are changing their behaviour? It's wise to get a vet check first to rule out a medical condition or pain, but we can support you and your dog with appropriate games to get them back on track.
