Residential Dog Training

Based in the beautiful Shropshire Hills, we are delighted to offer bespoke residential dog training packages.   Residential dog training is the perfect option for owners that are struggling to find the time to get on top of any training or behavioral issues you may be experiencing with your dog.  With over 30 years experience we can put the training in place for you to fully enjoy all aspects of life with your canine companion.

Training we offer

During our initial meeting with our clients we will assess your dog and together we will set out a training programme tailored to suit your individual dogs needs.

 

General obedience, heelwork, recall, manners and socialisation are generally the most common requirements.   

We also offer Gundog training for Labradors & Spaniels ready for the shooting field.

Facilities

Set in the open countryside our excellent facilities include a fully enclosed play paddock for your dog to have free time to relax, 3 acres of training fields with mowed tracks and unlimited access to the Shropshire hills.

 

With several shoots around we have an abundance of natural distractions such as pheasants and rabbits.  We also have our own livestock fields with sheep, horses and poultry, which enables us to work on real life livestock distractions.

Your dog will stay in our licensed and insured Kennels and spend time in our family home where required.  The kennels are heated and raised bedding will be provided.  We are on hand 24/7 for your dogs safety and comfort. 

 

Throughout your dogs stay you will receive regular photos and updates from us, so that you have peace of mind that your dog is being well cared for and enjoying their training.

Your dog will be trained individually at various times throughout the day.  They also will spend time socialising with our own pack of well-balanced dogs. 

 

If distraction training is required, we have our own dogs, access to livestock, and visits to local parks and towns are all included to develop their skills and focus.

As a premium service we can accommodate your dog in our family home.   Bad behaviour in the home can include dogs jumping up at visitors, taking things off the kitchen units and getting on the furniture. 

 

If your dog needs to be taught how to switch off and lie down in its bed so you can eat your meal or watch a television programme in peace, we can help you.
