Where we train in Folkestone
Folkestone (CT19 / CT20) and nearby
Local dog training delivered on real Folkestone routes and everyday set-ups. Sessions can be run as dog training home visits and on-walk coaching across Folkestone, Sandgate, Hythe and Hawkinge.
Real-life proofing, not controlled-only training
We train where behaviour happens: pavements, parks, seafront paths, neighbourhood walks, everyday triggers and real-life scenarios around Folkestone.
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)

What local dog owners say
“Belle is a rescue dog from abroad, and after a year of desperately trying everything I know to train her to be less anxious around people and other dogs, Mac came to my rescue. The results speak volumes. For the very first time I have walked Belle without worry. Daily updates, structured handover, and exercises so we can continue at home. Highly recommend.”
