FAQs — Woodford Green

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 Woodford Green 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 offer board and train in Woodford Green?

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

How far do you travel from Woodford Green?

Woodford Green is comfortably inside our travel radius — we work across the whole of Essex and the surrounding commuter belt. We're on A104 and A11 regularly, which puts Woodford Green well inside a straightforward drive from us.

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.

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.
