When life with your dog isn’t quite how you imagined it.
Maybe you’ve brought home a puppy and want to get things right. Maybe walks have become stressful, or you’ve tried so many things that you no longer know what to do next.
We understand. Tell us a little about your dog and we’ll help you work out what support makes sense.

Find the right support →When walks revolve around avoiding other dogs. When you’ve watched twenty training videos and ended up with twenty different answers. Or when your puppy thinks 4:47am is a perfectly reasonable start to the day.
We won’t judge what happened before. We want to understand the dog in front of us and give you a practical way forward.
We look at why the behaviour is happening before we try to change it.
Clear, reward-based training built around your dog and your life.
What matters is an easier Tuesday morning, not a perfect performance in a training field.

“I cannot recommend The Whole Hound Academy enough. So grateful for everything that Adam and his team have done. It has literally been life changing.”
Helen S, Trowbridge“I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get support with their dog. We learnt so much. Adam was happy to help with any questions I had about my puppy, very knowledgeable and supportive.”
Allie F, Bath“Adam explains everything in an easy to understand manner, backing up the reasoning behind the method. Communication has been faultless.”
