Most dogs from Old Harlow and across Essex run 2–4 weeks; behavioural cases and full obedience overhauls run 4–6 weeks. We quote honestly after the assessment.

What does the handover session cover?

We deliver the dog to your home in Old Harlow and spend a full session teaching the household how to hold every behaviour we've built. You get the dog back with a manual — not a mystery.

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.
