A calm dog.
Quietly trained.
You don’t need a tactical dog — you need a calm, reliable companion. We teach the foundations the same handlers use on the working dogs. Patiently, kindly, with the lead and treats your dog already knows.
How we work with you.
From the first phone call to ongoing support, the journey is laid out so you always know what’s next — for you and for your dog.
Vet referral & first contact
Behaviour cases come to us via your vet. For training enquiries, get in touch directly — we’ll take a short brief and route you to the right programme.
Booking your slot
Pick a date that works. We confirm by email with a short pre-class checklist — what to bring, what to expect, what your dog will need.
In-person consultation
A handler meets you and the dog. We watch, we ask, we plan. By the end you’ll have a clear, written plan — and the first homework in hand.
Ongoing support
Group classes, private follow-ups, and check-in calls. Training is a habit, not an event — we stay in touch for as long as you need us.
Same handlers. Different setting.
The people who train working dogs train family dogs the same way: patiently, calmly, and with a clear plan you can keep up at home. The setting changes; the standard doesn’t.
Kind methods Force-free, reward-based, lead-and-treats only.
Family-first Kids welcome — training runs around your household.
Honest pace Six weeks for foundations. Months, not days, for behaviour change.
Made in the United Kingdom
Tap to reveal.
A handful of things first-time owners ask. Anything missing — pick up the phone, we’re friendly.
How old should my puppy be?
We take puppies from 8 weeks for foundations and socialisation. Earlier is better than later — the first weeks set the habits.
What if my dog is reactive?
We take vet-referred behaviour cases — reactivity, resource guarding, separation. One-to-one, structured, kind.
Do you use treats?
Yes. Reward-based, force-free, lead-and-treats only. The same methods we use on the working dogs.
Can my kids come?
Absolutely. We run sessions around your household — children, partners, grandparents, all welcome.
Where do classes happen?
Across our Dunfermline (Scotland) and Wimborne (Dorset) bases. Private lessons and consultations can travel to you within reason.
Refunds & rescheduling?
48 hours’ notice for a no-cost reschedule. Refunds are case-by-case and we’re reasonable.
Adult dog · still learn?
Yes. Adult dogs learn well — they just need a clearer plan. We’ve worked with dogs from 8 weeks to 12 years.
Working dogs & pets?
Yes — the same handlers, the same standards, scaled to your household. The setting changes; the work doesn’t.
