FAQs — Dedham

When should I start puppy training in Dedham?

The window from 8 to 16 weeks is the single most important stretch of your dog's life. We start in Dedham the day you bring the puppy home — before habits form, not after.

Do you socialise puppies around real Dedham environments?

Yes. Controlled exposure to traffic, people, other dogs, kids, cafés and shops around Dedham — done properly, not thrown into chaos.

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 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.

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 Dedham Vale AONB. We train dogs in the environments they actually live in — that's the whole reason we work on location across Essex, not just in a hall.
