Where we train in Medway
Medway and nearby towns
Local dog training delivered on real Medway routes and everyday set-ups. Sessions can be run as home visits and on-walk coaching across Medway including Gillingham, Rochester, Rainham, Chatham, Sittingbourne, Snodland and surrounding villages.
Real-life proofing, not controlled-only training
We train where behaviour happens: pavements, parks, riverside paths, neighbourhood walks, everyday triggers and real-life scenarios around Medway.
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)
