The Training Side
Obedience, puppy training, behaviour modification and gun dog work. Just you, your dog and Dan, for about an hour at a time.
The Training Side
Dan works mainly with labs and spaniels and comes from a gun dog and working dog background. A lot of the dogs he trains are family pets, or working breeds living in pet homes.
Every breed is welcome. Sessions last about an hour and it is always just you, your dog and Dan.

Lead walking, recall and manners, taught one to one so the whole hour is about your dog.
The foundations for a new puppy, one to one and at your puppy's pace.
Specialist support for dogs that bark, lunge, guard or panic, with a clear plan to follow.
For working dogs and for working breeds in pet homes. Labradors and spaniels are Dan's speciality.

Labradors and spaniels have been part of Dan's life since he was a child.
He trained his own Labrador up as a gun dog before coaching other owners.
Every session is with Dan, start to finish.
Meet Your Trainer
Dogs have shaped Dan's whole life. He grew up around working Labradors and spaniels, and that is where it all started.
He trained his own Labrador up as a gun dog, which led him into coaching other owners. He then spent years in professional training facilities, getting puppies ready for owners who needed something specific from them.
Since then he has trained three American Bulldogs to a top standard of obedience, and he is still adding to what he knows by studying protection work.
Working dog methods, used on family pets. The same clear, consistent training that works in the field works just as well in the park and the front room.

No group classes. The whole hour is about you and your dog.
Mostly labs and spaniels, but we take every breed. The small ones are often the most stubborn.
