Where we train in Dover
Dover (CT16/CT17) and nearby
Local dog training delivered on real Dover routes and everyday set-ups. Sessions can be run as dog training home visits and on-walk coaching across Dover and surrounding areas.
Real-life proofing, not controlled-only training
We train where behaviour happens: pavements, parks, public spaces, neighbourhood walks, everyday triggers and real-life scenarios around Dover.
How it works
1) Assessment
We identify what’s driving the behaviour and define the goal (obedience, control, behaviour change).
2) Plan
You get a structured plan with clear rules and milestones that fit your dog and your home.
3) Coaching + Proofing
We coach you through reps and homework so progress holds on walks, at home, and around distractions.
Problems we resolve most often
- Recall that fails around dogs, people, or wildlife
- Pulling and lunging on lead
- Reactivity to dogs or strangers
- Over-excitement, jumping up, poor manners
- Anxiety, fear, confidence issues
- Aggression and control problems (assessment-led)

Testimonials – 5⭐ Google Rated Best Dog Trainers in Kent
“Our dog Diego was having separation anxiety issues as well as some selective hearing when it came to his commands. Following a 2 week stay with Mac, we have observed a noticeable improvement. His commands are followed far more and he seems more comfortable on his own than he ever has been. The best part of Mac's training though was how he trained us, understanding what Diego was thinking and what works/doesn’t work with him has allowed us to help him be his best self.”

- Aggression and Reactivity
- Separation Anxiety
