We are based near Pencader, Carmarthenshire.
We believe that every dog and owner should have a fun and happy life together and build a fantastic and unique bond and connection.
Dog training can help you achieve this goal.
We offer 1-1 dog training and behaviour sessions in your home or nearby walk or at our paddock, as well as agility classes to help you reach this happiness and fun with your dog. Our 1-1 dog training sessions cover a large part of Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion.
Our methods are kind and effective and most often fun for your dog and you.
We believe that getting the most out of your dog includes creating a unique bond with your dog.
This is why our dog training and behaviour session and classes are aimed at having fun with your dog, as well as teaching the important life skills they need to be safe and to ensure you have a happy life together.
Doggy workshops are aimed at helping you and your dog with a specific training issue or focus on one element of dog training. These are held near Pencader, Carmarthenshire.
Our pet care and dog walking services ensures your pet’s needs are met and gives you the freedom to go on holiday, for days out, or work without having the worry of what your pet is doing or who is looking after them. We make sure your pets are happy, healthy, fed and given fresh water, have some company and cuddles if they would like (cuddles not offered to fish!).
All our pet care and walking services come with a free consultation – usually in your home – where we can talk to you about your requirements and meet your pets beforehand. We offer all of these as a one-off to regular services.
Everything we do is tailored to your pets needs.

One to One Training Sessions
Helping you Enjoy your Dog
Training sessions are 1 hour sessions covering the basics of owning a dog including house manners, lead walking, stay, recall (come when called), puppy problems, toileting in the house, excessive barking and leave it. If you have mastered the basics and would like to try more advanced training such as send to bed, emergency stop, distance control, off lead walking and more you can use these sessions for this as well.
These sessions can be at your home or our field.
We also offer fun Agility, Gundog and Rally-O 1-1 sessions at our field.
Training sessions are £65 per session, if you require more than one session have a look at our packages below to save.
If you require written notes from your session these can be emailed to you for a £10 charge.
Behaviour Sessions
Helping you Enjoy your Dog
Our behaviour sessions include: an in-depth form to get a history of the issues, a 1 hour initial session at our paddock, plus 2x 45 minute follow-up sessions 1-2 weeks after your initial session.
In these sessions we can cover:
Aggression/reactivity towards other dogs, animals or humans. Note: if your dog has done serious damage we can recommend a clinical behaviourist. (Serious damage is levels 4/5/6 on the bite scale)
Guarding of food, toys, spaces etc.
Obsessive behaviours such as light/shadow chasing or excessive barking.
Fears such as of noises or being left along (separation anxiety)
If your dog has multiple issues we will discuss with you the most important to help you with first and will cover the others if there is time, this may need more than one behaviour session if the other issues are serious, or it may need just a 1-1 session, this is based on each dog and owner individually.
We cover management techniques that you can apply to any situation, as well as training techniques to help your dog and you overcome the issues you are having.
We talk you through each technique, give you a demo with your dog and get you to try it out so we can help you perfect each one.
If the behaviour has come on suddenly please get your dog checked out by your vet before having a behaviour session. Illness and injury can change a dog’s personality especially if they are in pain.
All sessions are tailored to you and your dog’s individual needs, we give you the tools to train your dog, help build the bond between you and enjoy yourselves.
Behaviour sessions are £245
per session, and include:
- An initial form for you to fill out so we can decide on the best course of action and give you any pre-session info/homework
