FAQs — Hertford

My dog reacts on the lead — can this be fixed?

In most cases, yes. We assess honestly — sometimes it's frustration, sometimes fear, sometimes handler timing. The plan for a Hertford dog reflects which one it actually is.

Do you use e-collars or aversives?

We use whatever the dog in front of us needs, within the law, and we explain every tool honestly before you agree to anything. No dogma, no gimmicks.

What areas near Hertford do you work in?

Working area around Hertford includes ware, hoddesdon, broxbourne and out from there. Yes — Hertford sits inside our regular working area across Hertfordshire.

Do you offer board and train in Hertford?

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

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 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 Hertford Castle. 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.
