FAQs — Bishop's Stortford

How much does 1-2-1 training cost?

Pricing depends on the programme. We'll give you a straight number on the first call, not a form filler and a wait. Aftercare is included. Phone, message, follow-up sessions — you're not left guessing after delivery.

Do you offer board and train in Bishop's Stortford?

Yes — residential board and train is our most popular training route. Your dog lives with us for 2–6 weeks then comes home to Bishop's Stortford with a full handover. Every placement includes a full handover session at your home in Bishop's Stortford so you're confident with the commands and the dog is confident in your environment.

How far do you travel from Bishop's Stortford?

Bishop's Stortford is comfortably inside our travel radius — we work across the whole of Hertfordshire and the surrounding commuter belt. We're on M11 J8 and A120 regularly, which puts Bishop's Stortford well inside a straightforward drive from us.

Do you do off-lead recall work?

Off-lead reliability is a headline outcome for us — including around distractions like joggers, other dogs and wildlife at places like Sworders Field. We train dogs in the environments they actually live in — that's the whole reason we work on location across Hertfordshire, not just in a hall.

Do you work with rescue dogs?

Regularly. A rescue with baggage is often exactly the sort of dog that benefits most from a proper structured programme. Straightforward: assessment, plan, structured work, handover. No mystique.
