The best way to book an Assessment Session, One to One Session, Residential Training, Holiday Stays, Intensive Week and/or Weekend is to initially send an email with as much information as possible e.g. for One to One Sessions please tell us in your email what days and times are most suitable for you to come along (we teach 7 days a week) also including your contact telephone numbers and as much information as you can about your dog e.g. age, breed, current training, issues, etc.. For requests for Holiday Stays in your email please give us the preferred drop off and collection dates, again, with as much information as possible about your dog e.g. sex, breed, age, sociable, nervous, current training, etc.
Because most of our working days takes place outside, we are out of contact during most normal 'sociable hours', meaning that often, the best time for us to read and/or answer emails is in the evening. We do have an 'automated reply' go out to all emails which should reassure you that we have received your email. This reply will also tell you that it may take anything up to 21 days to get back to you and that on ocassion, during our busiest periods, it may take longer but that we would hope to get back to you sooner than this.
The best way to ensure you are able to book a training place with us or for your dog to come and stay with us is to get in touch with us as soon as possible. The more notice you can give, especially for Holiday Stays and Residential Training Stays, the more chance you have of us having a slot or space available.
We are very busy every day but we will do our very best to get back to you as soon as we can. Please be patient. We are a family business and our home is also just that, our home. As this is our home, we ask that you respect this and when given specific time slots to drop your dog off, or collect, please respect that you have been given a time slot for a reason, thank you.

Staying with us involves your dog never being shut in kennels and run for the bulk of your dogs stay. The norm is for your dog to be out and about with us in the vehicle, or playing in the garden, maybe coming to feed the chickens or rabbits, sleeping in front of the fire or training. This means mental stimulation, being relaxed and able to play with other dogs.
Being able to play and run freely and not being cooped up in a kennel for hours and days on end is a luxury not many dogs get to enjoy when their family go away or they send their dogs away for training. Dogs need and flourish on mental stimulation as well as physical exercise. There is a permanent large agility tunnel in the garden and many dogs who have never encountered such an object, are curious about it and can't help but enter into it to explore. Often when they have gone in once of their own accord, you can't keep them out of it!
On top of all that, for the live-in dogs, they have the extra added benefit of being with the family all of the time with all the normal home comforts like a warm open fire on a chilly evening, carpets, sound (t.v./radio/people chatting) and normal family life.
Your dogs health is checked and attended to if need be from simple things like ear cleaning, toe nail clipping to vet visits (where needed). When in our care, we care for every dog as if it were our own. Your dogs happiness and well being is paramount to us.
Your dogs stay with us really is about being treated as well as our own dogs are and their training, at whatever level, is taken very seriously. Remember though, that dogs are creatures of habit. What they learn well here may well go out the window when they go home again if you don't follow through with the training. Habits, for dogs as well as humans, are difficult to break, and some more difficult than others. Your dog needs you to keep steering him in the right direction once he goes back home.
