We can now offer training for XL bullies!

Over the past few weeks we have changed insurance providers to allow us to expand our private training services for banned breeds; we can allow XL Bullies to enjoy the fun of scent detection!

We are firm believers that it’s not the breed, it’s the lack of responsible dog ownership and a lack of training. We have met many loving XL bullies over the years and we hope to continue to do so.

We have have heard from a few owners of XL bullies that they’ve lost the enjoyment of being outside because they have been muzzled and kept on lead… We want to change that, we want to bring back some fun for these dogs when they leave the house to make this a positive experience for you.

Our training is 100% achievable on lead and with a muzzle, you’ll be working independently with your dog so there is no interference from other dogs or people.

Scentwork releases endorphins in our dogs, making them feel happy and relaxed after releasing all that instinctual energy. We will give them fun activities to play whilst wearing their walking gear, to start to remove those negative connotations of having a muzzle on. Our training games are ones that you can play anywhere, to continue the fun outside the classroom, whether that’s on your next walk or in your living room at home.

So what do you need to do?

When you submit a booking request with us, we will ask you for the relevant documentation in line with the exception rules set out by our Government.

If this is in order, then we can proceed with your booking where we will ask you a few extra questions about your dog’s behaviour to ensure we maintain a safe and stress-free environment as much as possible.

Disclaimer: For any breed of dog, we do not offer behavioural adjustment training… but using scent work, we can support your existing training plan.

Scent detection has many benefits for our dogs, but it shouldn’t replace ongoing obedience or behavioural training.

If you are with a behaviourist, please follow their recommendations to make sure your dog will enjoy this activity.
