What we work on

Lead manners, recall, calmness around other dogs, focus around distractions, settling in cafes and at home, confidence in town and on the canal path. Real-life skills, not party tricks.

Levels of class

We run three levels of group class so you join at the right point for your dog.

What owners say.

“Great company, professional, friendly and my dog loves them! I learned so much and Red enjoyed every minute. He loved going to school!”

Diana Owith Red

“I would recommend The Whole Hound Academy. Adam has been brilliant, very knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Cora has come on leaps and bounds, the change in her is remarkable.”

Rose, Corshamwith Cora

“We practised loose lead walking and Finks was brilliant, then ‘stay close’ in the field. A man walked right past and she kept her focus on me, so much so that he said ‘what a good dog!’ So happy to be making progress.”
