Success stories
Real dogs, real progress
-
Reactive to calm and neutral
Ollie & Isla Weimaraner, and Vizsla x Labrador
Ollie, a senior rescue Weimaraner, was reactive with multiple triggers and had bitten. Tailored 1-2-1 lessons turned him into a calm, neutral dog.
-
Reactive to off-lead on the beach
Chico German Shepherd
Chico the German Shepherd was reactive to people and dogs and had not been off-lead since he was a pup. Two weeks of residential training changed that.
-
Reactive to confident on walks
Hank Bulldog
Hank the Bulldog reacted to people, dogs and cats on walks. Three weeks of residential training took him from tail tucked to tail held high.
-
Squirrel chaser to off-lead freedom
Stella German Shepherd
Stella the German Shepherd loved chasing squirrels, so her family were nervous letting her off-lead. Five intensive training days gave her reliable recall.
Our results
Results from dogs across York & East Yorkshire
In 2025 we trained more than 220 dogs, helped over 90 reactive dogs and saved 18 dogs from being put to sleep. Every plan starts with a free phone consultation and is built around that dog.
The stories above cover the problems owners bring to us most often: reactivity towards dogs, people or traffic, recall that falls apart around squirrels and other dogs, and dogs that pull so hard walks stop being enjoyable. Some of these dogs had already been through other trainers. Others were young dogs whose habits were only just starting to set.
Each one followed a different route. Ollie came to 1-2-1 lessons with his owners. Stella and Fenton made fast progress with intensive days, like our day training. Hank and Chico stayed with us for residential training, then we handed the training over to their families. For young dogs, puppy training builds the right habits before problems start.
Training only lasts if it works at home, so every programme ends with you: handover sessions, homework and WhatsApp support, wherever you are in East Yorkshire.
