• Have a well-behaved, happy dog-partner for life.

Barnlake Dog Training Centre

We are here for companion dogs and their owners, and our classes are aimed at helping people to have a well-behaved, happy dog-partner for life. Many of our dog-students go on to Agility, Showing, Competitions etc., but all started originally as pet dogs living with people who love them and want the best for them. Whether your dog is a new puppy just arrived in your home, an older dog who needs some training or a rescue dog from a dog pound we are here to help you to bring him up the way you want, or if necessary rehabilitate him after his past experiences.

We put emphasis on understanding why our dogs do things, how they learn and how to communicate with them. We use reward-training, psychology, understanding what is going on with both the dog and the handler, and concentrating on being consistent and building the training from small beginnings to a higher level.

We also offer Problem Behaviour Counselling. Some dogs need help which doesn't come directly under the heading of training – house-soiling, destructiveness, aggression, fearfulness just to name a few. For these dogs and owners a longer appointment is made, the problem investigated and help and information given. A written report with a programme specially designed for the dog is sent subsequent to the interview, and a report sent to the referring Veterinary Surgeon is sent if appropriate.
