FAQs — Writtle

Is every dog suitable for therapy work?

No — and we say so up front. We temperament-test at the Writtle 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 cover Writtle?

Yes — Writtle sits inside our regular working area across Essex. We're on A414 and A1060 regularly, which puts Writtle well inside a straightforward drive from us. Working area around Writtle includes chelmsford, great baddow and out from there.

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 Writtle Green. 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.

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.
