FAQs — Thorpe-le-Soken

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 Thorpe-le-Soken 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 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.

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.
