About

Functional Dog Obedience Training

Functional Obedience Training is a method of training your dog to be comfortable and behave appropriately in different environments, resulting in a well-rounded companion dog that is able to confidently accompany you almost anywhere.

It includes and focuses on base obedience training as you would usually expect and translates that into real world application.

But it doesn’t stop there! Continue to train your dog through basic obedience to intermediate and advanced levels.

At Home

Obedience training starts at home & builds confidence in having a well-behaved dog.

Cafes & Bars

Be quiet, settled and comfortable in dog-friendly cafes, pubs & restaurants.

Socialisation

Ability to greet other dogs appropriately & developing that important 'core social group'.

Meeting People

Be confident meeting new people, be it adults or children, without being overactive.

On Walks

Walk nicely by your side when going on walks, with no pulling or lunging on the leash.

Off Leash

Reliably recall your dog to come to you when they are playing off leash.

Public Transport

Confidently use public transport to travel easily, especially if you don't drive.

Busy Places

Develop skills to be comfortable in busier and noisier environments.

Testimonials

Happy Owners

Here's what some of our clients are saying...

Our dog was pulling on the lead, charging after other dogs and generally had bad manners. Within a few weeks he was a completely different dog.

Ms O Uta (Nero)

Our German Shepherd needed basic training. Being a farm dog, he wasn't leash trained and didn't know one command. Now his repertoire increases weekly.

Mr M Nimmo (Danny)
