Our dog day training course offers
Socialisation
Dogs learn socialisation in dog day training, which is a major part of a dog’s development. In our day training, they will spend time with other dogs of all shapes and sizes, learning manners and how to interact with other dogs and people. It’s vital for walks in the park, and meeting friends’ and families’ dogs too.
Obedience training
While at dog day training, your dog will spend the day working with expert dog trainers working on their general obedience. From basic commands, to learning to switch off, to just holding their attention. It’s a huge part of what we do, and a huge part of what you will be doing at home.
A dogs day out
Usually forgotten but just as important, dog day training is an amazing way for you to give your dog a great day out and meet other dogs, whilst you get some well-deserved time off! You and your dog are both winners in this scenario.
For those looking for a quick win
Dog day training is an alternative for those who are more mindful of their budget, where your dog spends the entire day in the safe hands of expert dog trainers. Of course, the results are not as drastic as with our other training options, but your dog will still pick up very useful skills on our day training courses, and it has great benefits.
How to train a dog
We offer a number of bespoke training options. To achieve the best results, we always recommend our Residential Dog Training solution. However, One to One Dog Training at our facility or in your home is also available. Our qualified trainers and behaviouralists will work with you to determine which solution best suits your needs.
The commands we use here at The Dog Guy include, but are not limited to: Sit, Down, Place, Here (Recall), Heel, Bed, Verbal Markers (Yes, No, Good Boy/Girl) and many more.
FAQ’s
This is ultimately down to the needs of your dog. Our residential training programme is designed to achieve the best results over an intensive period of training. The 3 to 4 weeks of training allows your dog to concentrate on learning new behaviours with consistency without distraction. Dog owners often look to residential training when other methods have failed, or they simply don’t have the time and ability to build a strong dog foundation of obedience for their dog.
If you’re not sure, then a member of our expert team will guide you towards the most suitable training package. They will discuss your dog’s needs, any current challenges, your ability to commit to training and your budget. We are confident we have a training solution that is right for you – nobody leaves us without a solution!
The simple answer is it is never too early or too late for your dog to be trained. We can train a dog one week after its second vaccination, and sooner if we are training within the home.
We often train multiple dogs from the same household. In fact, the only way to resolve some behavioural challenges is to train siblings at the same time.
You will be invited to an in-depth handover session at the end of training. This session allows us to show you the tools and techniques used to train your dog before giving you the opportunity to demonstrate to us you have taken everything on board. We even provide a short video of your dog in training to act as a future point of reference. If required, we can offer additional one to one support either in your home or our training facility to re-enforce training.
We begin training all dogs at our training field, as this is a secure environment that we can control. However, as dogs live in the real world, we quickly move training to different environments such as parks, towns and cafes to expose them to all the sights, sounds and smells they will experience once home.
