FAQs — Bishop's Stortford

Do you run group classes in Bishop's Stortford?

No — we run 1-2-1s in your home and on the streets around Bishop's Stortford. It's how you get real behaviour change, not classroom tricks.

How many sessions does a dog typically need?

Most Bishop's Stortford households run 3–6 sessions across a few weeks. We tell you at the assessment; we don't sell packages you don't need.

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.

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 Sworders Field. 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.

Do you take puppies from Bishop's Stortford?

Yes — early foundation work is the best money you'll ever spend on a dog. We take puppies from Bishop's Stortford for 1-2-1s or short residential stays. Straightforward: assessment, plan, structured work, handover. No mystique.
