Are you having trouble with your dog?

Do you have a new puppy or rescue dog that is not as easy as the dogs you’ve had before? Let The Dog Guy help you!

Happy pets, Happy humans

We are true engineers of behavioural change in dogs. Whatever shape, size, age or breed, we have helped countless dogs with our UK dog training become better behaved, and become integral parts of their families, massively improving their quality of life. Our reputation precedes us, and we take an agile, mobile approach, constantly improving our service and training to ensure we remain the best in the business, and help the dogs we see as much as we can.

Our highly trained and dedicated team, over the duration of our dog training courses, deliver a solid foundation of general obedience and discipline to ensure you get the best from your beloved dog. Dog training requires repetition, consistency, and reward to ensure that desired outcomes are achieved. We know what it takes, and all you need to do is let us help resolve any challenges you face with your dog to ensure live a happy life together, side by side.

How to train a dog

But how do we do it? Our innovative training method begins with a focus on loose lead work and recall, as well as key commands such as sit, heal, and stay. Dog socialisation in multiple surroundings plays a key part of our training plans. Reactivity and resource guarding can be delivered as part of a bespoke training package too. We can also help with toilet training and separation anxiety to ensure your pet becomes fully integrated into the home.

We offer a number of bespoke training options. To achieve the best results, we always recommend our Residential Dog Training solution. However, One to One Dog Training at our facility or in your home is also available. Our qualified trainers and behaviourists will work with you to determine which solution best suits your needs.

The commands we use here at The Dog Guy include, but are not limited to: Sit, Down, Place, Here (Recall), Heel, Bed, Verbal Markers (Yes, No, Good Boy/Girl) and many more.

Our UK residential dog training courses offer:- l A pickup service for your dog from your home. l Accommodation for your dog within a five-star kennel facility. l A tailored training programme designed to meet your dog’s specific needs. l Putting the welfare of your dog first, we partner with local vets to ensure any health issues are dealt with promptly. l Exposure to both male and female trainers. l Round-the-clock care of your dog as if it is one of our own. l Training in different social settings – we don’t just train in a field! l A unique commands video of your dog in action to keep as a reference point. l Groomers within the team to ensure your dog is kept in immaculate condition. l Dedicated support team with updates sent to you on a regular basis. l Unrivalled aftercare packages, providing any support or guidance you may need once training has been complete

One to One Dog Training

A personal touch

Residential training is brilliant, but may not suit all schedules or budgets. Our one to one dog training sessions are flexible, and can be individually designed around the specific needs of you and your dog. They provide the building blocks to allow your dogs to become an integrated part of the family. In these sessions, you will work directly with one of our training team either at your home or our training facilities. Multiple sessions may be required. Our on-site one-to-one dog training is a popular option for many, but if you’re unable to visit our facilities, please enquire about a home visit instead. Depending on location, surcharges may apply.

Dog Day Training

For those looking for a quick win

Dog day training is an alternative for those who are more mindful of their budget, where your dog spends the entire day in the safe hands of expert dog trainers. Of course, the results are not as drastic as with our other training options, but your dog will still pick up very useful skills on our day training courses, and it has great benefits.

FAQ’s

Is residential or one to one training suitable for my dog’s needs?

This is ultimately down to the needs of your dog. Our residential training programme is designed to achieve the best results over an intensive period of training. The 3 to 4 weeks of training allows your dog to concentrate on learning new behaviours with consistency without distraction. Dog owners often look to residential training when other methods have failed, or they simply don’t have the time and ability to build a strong dog foundation of obedience for their dog.

If you’re not sure, then a member of our expert team will guide you towards the most suitable training package. They will discuss your dog’s needs, any current challenges, your ability to commit to training and your budget. We are confident we have a training solution that is right for you –nobody leaves us without a solution!

At what age can my dog be trained?

The simple answer is it is never too early or too late for your dog to be trained. We can train a dog one week af ter its second vaccination, and sooner if we are training within the home.

I have more than one dog that needs training. Can you help?

We often train multiple dogs from the same household. In fact, the only way to resolve some behavioural challenges is to train siblings at the same time.

How do I continue training at home once residential training has concluded?

You will be invited to an in-depth handover session at the end of training. This session allows us to show you the tools and techniques used to train your dog before giving you the opportunity to demonstrate to us you have taken everything on board. We even provide a short video of your dog in training to act as a future point of reference. If required, we can offer additional one to one support either in your home or our training facility to re-enforce training.

Where will my dog be trained?

We begin training all dogs at our training field, as this is a secure environment that we can control. However, as dogs live in the real world, we quickly move training to different environments such as parks, towns and cafes to expose them to all the sights, sounds and smells they will experience once home.

EYE DROPS

Helen

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Product

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 September 2022

I have recently used this on two of my dogs - I used it on my old terrier who has weepy eyes, and it really helped to reduce the weeping and make her more comfortable. I also used it on my sight hound after she got her eye caught on a bramble and it became very sore. The drops were easy to use on both dogs and definitely gave both animals comfort from their conditions. It's now in my first aid kit along with the other products from Nature's Greatest Secret that I use on my animals. (And myself!)

POWER SPRAY

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable product highly recommend

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 December 2019

Style Name: Power Spray 250 ml

One of my rotties sadly had spine cancer, this is being treated with steroids. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a very dry scale type skin condition. For a week or more she has been just lying around . No matter what I put on her skin it was still very red and dry.

I found this product and liked the reviews, but to be honest I was still sceptical ..... wow, after using the shampoo and then the power spray for what is now only the second day, the area has no redness at all and her skin softer.

Before using this poor Lexi was just lying in her basket looking awful. Today she has a new spring in her step, the rash must have been driving her mad . I would highly recommend this product.

I believe the spray can also be used on ears. I intend to try it out on lexis brother when his ears need a clean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for bulldogs

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 December 2022 n For more information, please go to: www.naturesgreatestsecret.co.uk

Used this on my bulldog after he went swimming in a stinky lake over the weekend. I usually clean his ears out with a water wipe and I went to clean the left one and he yelped and ran away. His ear was hot and he was shaking his head. 3 days later gone. Ears are clear and clean he allowed me to wipe them after no pain. Brilliant stuff!
