FAQs — Buckhurst Hill

Is every dog suitable for therapy work?

No — and we say so up front. We temperament-test at the Buckhurst Hill assessment and only take on dogs with the nerve, drive and social profile the job needs.

Do you train assistance dogs from puppies?

Yes, when the puppy is right. Most assistance placements start young so public-access work is baked in from the beginning.

How far do you travel from Buckhurst Hill?

Buckhurst Hill is comfortably inside our travel radius — we work across the whole of Essex and the surrounding commuter belt. We're on A113 and M11 J4 regularly, which puts Buckhurst Hill 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.

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.
