Norfolk & Suffolk · Two private acres · NePoPo® Gold

Every dog starts with an assessment.

We look at your dog properly before anyone talks about programmes or money. Then we tell you honestly what it needs — and that might be a pack walk, coaching, or nothing we sell.

Free · No obligation · Nothing sold on the day

01 — What you're dealing with

If life with your dog feels harder than it should.

You are not alone. We work on the problems that affect everyday life most.

Wall 01

The walk you dread.

Pulling, lunging, zig-zagging. A lead that feels like a tug of war and a walk you'd rather skip.

Wall 02

The recall that isn't.

They come back when it suits them. So the lead stays on, and the dog never really gets to be a dog.

Wall 03

The dog who can't settle.

Barking, jumping, over-excitement, reacting to everything. Never quite switching off.

01Lead pulling and difficult walks
02Recall and off-lead reliability
03Barking and over-excitement
04Jumping up and poor impulse control
05House manners and home routine
06Sit, stay, settle, everyday obedience
07Reactivity and aggression
08Separation-related behaviour
09Confidence, calmness and better focus
10Ongoing support when things get stuck

Most owners aren't failing. They've just never been shown what consistent actually looks like.

02 — The front door

The assessment decides everything.

We don't sell programmes off a page. We look at the dog, ask what your life actually looks like, and then say what we'd do.

01

You tell us what's happening

The breed, the age, what's going wrong and what you've already tried. The more you tell us, the more useful the assessment is.

02

We assess the dog

On the paddock, at your home, or online — whichever suits the problem. We watch the dog rather than take your word for it, because owners are usually too close to see it.

Free · no
obligation
03

We tell you which route

Pack walks, a coaching package, residential — or an invitation to the Dog Club if your dog is a working dog and it's the right fit. Sometimes the answer is a vet, and we'll say that too.

03 — Where the assessment leads

Four routes. You'll be pointed at one.

£20 a walk

Pack walks

Monday and Wednesday evenings, Sunday mornings. Structured group walking on and around the paddock. Open to anyone, book ahead.

From £250

1:1 coaching

A paid-upfront package, not single sessions. At the paddock, at your home, or online. Community access included.

Invitation only

The Dog Club

Obedience, tracking and protection for working dogs. IGP. £100 per dog per month — but you have to be invited.

From £1,950

Residential

Your dog lives with a trainer for three weeks or more, with a full handover so the results come home.

We will tell you if the cheapest route is the right one · Results vary by dog
04 — The ground

Two acres, not a village hall.

Most group training happens in a hall or a corner of a public park. Ours doesn't. Two private acres means we can work a reactive dog at forty metres and close the gap at the dog's pace — and add distraction deliberately, when your dog is ready for it.

05 — Who it's for

Straight about who this suits.

This is for you if

You want a dog you can actually live with.

  • Everyday life with your dog feels harder than it should
  • You'll put the work in between sessions
  • You want clear structure, not guesswork
  • You can reach Norfolk — or you're open to residential
It's probably not if

You're after a quick fix.

  • You want the dog fixed without changing anything at home
  • You're looking for the cheapest option available
  • You want a single session to sort it — we don't sell those
  • You want a guarantee — no honest trainer can give you one

Let's find out what your dog actually needs.
