Qualifed Dog Training Wirral

We offer a variety of dog training services, including puppy training, obedience training, behaviour modification, and advanced training. We teach in a group class environment or one to one at a location to suit you. Our tailored programs ensure that each dog receives the specific guidance they need for successful training outcomes.

If your dog exhibits behavioral issues such as excessive barking, jumping, or aggression, they may benefit from training. Additionally, if you want to strengthen your bond with your dog or teach them new commands, our training sessionscan help enhance their behavior and responsiveness- and their happiness!

Ryan is a fully qualified and accredited IMDT and OCN Behaviourist and Dog Trainer who has worked with over 1,100 dogs and owners to date. I use the most up-to-date, kind, science-backed and effective methods to help you and your dog achieve your training dreams. No matter the issue, reactivity or aggression, resource guarding or behavioural issues, I believe that all of these can be corrected without bringing pain or harm to your dog.

We cover all of the following for puppy, adolescent and adult dogs:

– Loose lead walking – including pulling
– Recall training – using verbal and whistle-based commands
– Socialisation – for both puppies and older dogs
– Puppy Training – in classes and one-to-one sessions
– Body language – understanding your dog and its emotions
– Inappropriate greetings – addressing jumping up and over-excitement
– Attention behaviours – managing jumping up, barking, mouthing, etc.
– General Obedience – helping your dog learn to be well-behaved
– Resource Guarding – removing confrontation when asking them to leave or drop something
– Focus and engagement – particularly around distractions
– Separation Anxiety – teaching your dog to be comfortable when left alone
– Over-excitement – for dogs that are full of energy
– Reactivity issues – managing reactivity towards other dogs, people, or other stimuli
– Play and interactive skills – using play to enhance your dog’s training

The ideal age to start training your puppy is between 10 to 16 weeks. Early training helps shape positive behaviors and socialisation skills, setting a strong foundation for your puppy’s development. Our classes in Wirral focus on gentle, age-appropriate techniques for young dogs. Classes are fun for humans and pups!

Yes, we offer both private training sessions and group classes to accommodate different learning styles and preferences. Private sessions are tailored to individual needs, while group classes provide a social environment for dogs to learn alongside their peers. There are pros and cons to both types of training which we can explain.

We utilise positive reinforcement techniques, which focus on rewarding desirable behaviors to encourage learning. Our methods are based on scientific principles of dog behavior, ensuring a safe and effective training experience for your dog.

In short this varies from client to client as well as the severity of the issue. To get a good idea of how long it would take to solve your problem the best thing to do is speak to Ryan directly.

We do! And not only classes but the most fun and engaging puppy classes available in the local area. Backed by hundred’s of five star reviews, our puppy classes will give your pup all the skills that they need to get off to the best start in life while at the same time strengthening the relationship and bond you have with your pup.

Initial Consultations take place in the dog’s home/local environment. Most ongoing training takes place at either of our two sites -either our indoor Dogs Go Training Academy, located in Upton or at one of our five purpose built dog parks located 3 minutes from Clatterbridge Roundabout, in Raby. These two locations provide you and your dog the exact environment that you need to combat the issues that you are facing..
