FAQs — Elstree

Is every dog suitable for therapy work?

No — and we say so up front. We temperament-test at the Elstree 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.

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.

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.

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.

How far do you travel from Elstree?

Elstree is comfortably inside our travel radius — we work across the whole of Hertfordshire and the surrounding commuter belt. We're on A5 and A41 regularly, which puts Elstree well inside a straightforward drive from us.
