Training Options
Assessment first
An assessment is often the smartest first step. It gives a clear picture of your dog behaviour, training priority and safest route forward before any larger commitment is made.
Private one-to-one support
Private sessions are ideal if you want direct coaching, practical handling guidance and work in the dog everyday environment.
Residential training
Residential dog training suits owners who need a more immersive route, stronger consistency and a structured handover so progress carries back into home life.
What To Expect
Use this page to compare the main training routes before booking:
- Residential dog training packages from 1 to 5 weeks
- Protection dog training packages for advanced protection work
- Assessment sessions, obedience sessions and protection sessions as home visits
- Video calls, follow-ups and nutrition consultations
- Grooming add-ons and extra residential days
If you are unsure which route fits your dog, start with an assessment so we can confirm the right structure, timeline and cost.
Pricing Guidance
Pricing varies by service format. This page covers residential training, protection work, home visits, private sessions, online consultations and grooming add-ons.
If you are comparing options, focus on the right route rather than the lowest starting number. The best value depends on your dog, your goals and how much support is needed.

How dog training pricing works
There is no single cost that fits every dog. Pricing changes depending on the level of structure, trainer time, travel, handling needs and whether you need standard obedience support or something more specialist.
- Puppy training: usually a straightforward starting point unless behaviour concerns are already developing.
- Private sessions: ideal when you want direct coaching in your own environment.
- Behaviour support: may need an assessment-led route if risk, reactivity or anxiety are involved.
- Residential training: a higher upfront investment, but often the strongest option where owners need daily repetition and a structured reset.
- Protection work: specialist pricing because the handling and delivery format are different from standard obedience training.
The rates below are current. If you want help choosing the right route, book an assessment and we will guide you properly.

Assessment Sessions
Why a dog behaviour assessment matters
An assessment is often the best first step. It gives a clear picture of your dog behaviour, training priority and the right route before any larger programme begins.
- Behaviour overview: identify the main challenge, whether that is obedience, confidence, reactivity or household control.
- Tailored route: confirm whether private sessions, residential work or another format is the best fit.
- Safety first: surface any triggers, risks or handling concerns before training starts.
- Clear next steps: leave with a realistic structure, timeline and cost.

FAQ
Common questions before starting training.
How much does dog training cost in Kent?
Dog training cost in Kent depends on the service format, trainer time, travel and whether you need private sessions, residential work, behaviour support or protection training. One-to-one obedience sessions start from £55 on weekdays. Residential dog training packages range from £930 for 1 week to £4,000 for 5 weeks. Assessment sessions start from £30.
How much does a dog trainer charge per session?
Weekday assessment sessions start from £30. Weekday one-to-one obedience sessions are £55. Weekend and bank holiday sessions carry a higher rate. Protection training sessions are priced separately at £185 on weekdays and £200 at weekends.
How much does puppy training cost?
Puppy training cost depends on whether you start with an assessment, move into regular one-to-one sessions or need a more structured programme. Many owners begin with a £30 weekday assessment so we can confirm the right format before committing to a package.
How much does a dog behaviourist cost?
Behaviour support pricing depends on case complexity, risk factors and the level of structured input required. Where behaviour concerns are present, we recommend starting with an assessment session from £30 so the safest and most effective route can be confirmed.
How much are dog training classes?
We offer private one-to-one sessions rather than group classes. Private training is more tailored and often faster where behaviour issues are involved. Sessions start from £55 for a weekday home visit.
What is included in residential dog training?
Residential dog training includes structured daily work, a written report, a 2-hour owner debrief, video training materials and a grooming discount. The exact length depends on your dog and the level of change required.
