What does obedience training cover?

Obedience training is about good manners and clear boundaries, things like walking nicely to heel and reliable recall, plus listening and responding to you in everyday situations. The goal is a dog that’s a pleasure to live with and easy to take anywhere.

How long is an obedience training course?

As a general guide, obedience courses typically run around four to six weeks, though the exact length depends on your dog and the goals we set together. We’ll confirm a realistic timeframe at your assessment.

What commands and skills will my dog know by the end of an obedience course?

It depends on the goals we set together, but a typical obedience programme covers the essentials that make daily life easier, such as reliable recall, walking to heel, sit, down, stay, and settling calmly around distractions. We tailor the focus to what matters most to you and your household, and confirm the specific objectives at your assessment.

What are the benefits of obedience training?

A well trained dog is a safer dog, less likely to pull, jump or run off, and far easier to manage day to day. Beyond safety, obedience training strengthens the bond and communication between you, improves socialisation, and genuinely improves quality of life for both you and your dog.

Will obedience training also help with behaviour problems?

Solid obedience is the foundation that many behavioural improvements are built on, and a clearer, more respectful relationship often helps with wider issues. That said, if your dog is showing reactivity, aggression or other specific behaviours, those may be better suited to our dedicated reactive or aggressive training, and we’ll advise you honestly at assessment.

Is there an ideal age to start obedience training?

The earlier the better, as good habits are easier to build than bad ones are to undo, but it’s never too late. We train obedience in dogs of all ages, from young dogs through to older rescues.

5 benefits of obedience dog training, for both you and your dog.

Safety: Obedience training helps to ensure the safety of both your dog and those around them. A well-trained dog is less likely to cause accidents or injuries due to jumping, pulling, or running off.
Relationship building: Obedience training helps to strengthen the bond between you and your dog. It fosters trust, respect, and communication, creating a positive and fulfilling relationship.
Socialisation: Obedience training allows your dog to interact with other people and dogs in a controlled and appropriate manner. It helps them to learn how to behave in various social situations and become a well-rounded member of the community.
Ease of daily life: Obedience training makes everyday life with your dog much easier and more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more likely to listen to commands, follow rules, and behave appropriately, making it easier to take them out in public and go about your daily routine.
Quality of life: Obedience training can significantly improve the quality of life for both you and your dog. A well-behaved dog is less likely to cause stress or conflict in the household, allowing for a more harmonious and enjoyable living environment.
