FAQs — Potters Bar

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 Potters Bar 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.

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 Oakmere Park. 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.

Can you fix a reactive dog that lunges on the lead?

Yes. Lead reactivity is one of the most common calls we take. It's fixable with a proper plan, honest handling and enough real-world exposure — not a magic collar. Straightforward: assessment, plan, structured work, handover. No mystique.

What areas near Potters Bar do you work in?

Working area around Potters Bar includes cuffley, barnet, hadley wood and out from there. Yes — Potters Bar sits inside our regular working area across Hertfordshire.

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.
