Residential Dog Training
Award Winning Intensive training for puppies & adult dogs. We train your dog for you!

_edited.jpg)
Here at Adolescent Dogs, we help busy families with dogs in the UK to go from stressful walks, to happy and relaxed walks that you can feel proud of
​
We take the stress out of training by fast forwarding your training for you, giving your dog the absolute best start, and then providing you with a clear and easy training plan so you can spend more time together and feel confident taking your dog with you anywhere
​
The best part about our residential training programmes, is that your dog comes to live with us in our family home whilst receiving daily training. We provide a completely bespoke training programme for your dog, transforming their behaviour in as little as 2 weeks
​
Deciding who to trust with your beloved family dog is a tough decision to make. Our team of expert trainers offer a caring, secure, positive and safe environment for your family dog and only use positive training methods. You'll receive regular photo & video updates throughout, and full owner training is provided to ensure lifetime success
​
Intensive training is perfect for owners who want to ensure they are getting the training right, and want the benefit of expert guidance from start to end.
​
Did you know, most dog owners simply don't have the skills, knowledge, access to daily distractions or time needed to build reliability around other dogs and people, and in different environments, so receiving intensive training from an expert is the perfect solution! You shouldn't feel an ounce of guilt about seeking help for your dog. You are being a responsible dog owner, and both you and your dog will reap the rewards of having excellent training in place.
​
Booking an intensive course is the best thing you can do for your family dog, so he can enjoy the freedom he deserves, and you can enjoy taking your dog out with confidence. We welcome all breeds of dogs, and cater training for puppies from 8 weeks of age, right up to old age. It's never too early or late!
