FAQs — Wanstead

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 Wanstead 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 Wanstead do you work in?

Working area around Wanstead includes woodford green, buckhurst hill, hornchurch and out from there. Yes — Wanstead sits inside our regular working area across Greater London.

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.

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 Wanstead Park. We train dogs in the environments they actually live in — that's the whole reason we work on location across Greater London, not just in a hall.

Do you offer board and train in Wanstead?

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