Do you run group training classes?

We believe your Labrador deserves the spotlight! That’s why we specialise in individual training sessions rather than group classes. This approach ensures:

Your dog gets our undivided attention.
Training is tailored specifically to your Labrador’s unique needs.
You’re not lost in a sea of different breeds with varying skills and requirements.

With one-on-one sessions, we can focus on building a strong, positive and lasting relationship between you and your Labrador.

What ages do you train?

From playful pups to wise old seniors, we’ve trained Labradors as young as 8 weeks and as mature as 13 years. Age is just a number when it comes to learning!

Here’s how we can help:

For young pups, we focus on basic manners, routines and socialisation.
Adolescent dogs often benefit from advanced life skills and specific behaviour modifications.
Senior dogs can learn new tricks too, often focusing on mental stimulation and gentle exercises to keep them agile.

So, no matter how many candles are on your Labrador’s birthday cake, we’re confident we can tailor a training programme that’s just right.

I don't have a Labrador. Can you still help me?

While Labradors are our speciality, we’re more than happy to work with Labrador mixes and similar working breeds like Golden Retrievers, Vizslas, Pointers, Spaniels, and Shepherds.

If you think we’d be the right fit for your dog, regardless of breed, we’d love to hear from you.

Where are you based?

We’re located in the village of Minety in Wiltshire, UK, close to the Malmesbury area in Wiltshire and the Cirencester area in Gloucestershire.

For Real-World Training sessions, we can arrange to meet at a location within a 20-minute drive from Minety. (Please note locations beyond this may require an additional travel fee.)

Can’t travel to us? No worries! Our live Online Puppy School and Online Training & Support are held via Zoom video calls. So, wherever you are, we’ve got you covered.

I don't live in the UK. Can you still help me?

Absolutely, distance is no barrier to top-quality training! Thanks to the wonders of technology, our live Online Puppy School and Online Training & Support are conducted via Zoom video calls. So whether you’re near or far, we’ve got you covered.

In fact, we’ve had the pleasure of training Labradors not just in the UK but also in countries such as Germany, Spain, Ireland, France, the USA, and Australia. Wherever you are in the world, we’re here to help you and your Labrador thrive.

What training methods do you use?

We firmly believe that when it comes to training, one size doesn’t fit all. Every dog, owner, and situation is unique, which is why we tailor our training methods to suit each individual case.

Whilst positive reinforcement has a huge part to play in training a Labrador, especially in the early stages, we will discuss a range of methods and training styles to find the one that’s most effective for you and your Labrador. Our aim is to create a training plan that sets both of you up for long-term success.
