FAQs — Great Baddow

When should I start puppy training in Great Baddow?

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

Do you socialise puppies around real Great Baddow environments?

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

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?
