Residential Dog Training
At The Dog Guy Yorkshire, we take pride in leading the industry with our innovative methods, which have seen excellent results. We take the lead through our residential dog training programs, of which we have transformed the temperament, behaviour and relationships of dogs and their owners of countless dogs over the years.
What sets us apart from the rest is how we design our training programs to tailor the specific quips and quirks of each dog that stays with us. Your dog staying with us throughout the entire program allows us to really get to know them so that we can create a genuinely effective program that suits their personality and needs. This involves a variation of both physical and mental tasks and activities so that your dog’s mind and body work in sync, for truly transformative results. Whether you would prefer your dog to stay in our top-of-the-range kennels or a domestic stay, the choice is up to you.

A personal touch
Residential dog training is obviously very effective, but it’s not for everyone – with logistic and financial difficulties for various people and families. We want to provide dog training services for everyone, which is where our one to one sessions come in. These are flexible, are still bespoke to the needs of you and your dog, and are still led by our experienced and attentive trainers. These sessions lay the groundwork for a better relationship and understanding between you and your dog by working with you both at the same time. Please note that for optimal results, multiple sessions may be required.
Most clients prefer to come to our training facilities for one to one training, but if you cannot, please feel free to enquire about a home visit instead. Please note that depending on the location of your home, surcharges may be required.

For those looking for a quick win
We also offer dog day training for those on a budget. This is an excellent alternative to our other training programmes, where your dog will spend a full day in the very safe hands of our exceptional dog trainers. Despite the fact that the results, of course, may not be as striking as with our methods, these sessions do still see surprising results, picking up useful and maintainable skills that make a real impact.
From £90 £63 per day
Socialisation
The first key advantage of dog day training is socialisation, which is one of the most vital things a dog can learn. On these day training sessions, your dog will socialise with a broad range of other dogs, learning how to effectively interact with them and how to behave around them. This will make those long dog walks so much easier, as you don’t have to keep that lead so tight!
Obedience training
In our dog day training, our trainers also cover general obedience training to teach your dog important manners and skills that last when they come home. This includes basic commands, keeping their attention, and when to switch on, and when to switch off. This will make a major impact in ensuring your dog is better behaved both in the home and outside the home.
A dog's day out
You and your dog are both winners here! Often overlooked, dog day training is an exciting and fun day out for your dog, and an excellent opportunity to interact with fellow hounds. At the same time, you get a well-deserved day off in the know that your dog will come home both happy and more obedient!
Happy pets,
happy humans
You can have all of the fancy training methods you like, but they would be useless if you’re not committed. At The Dog Guy Yorkshire, we are fully committed to your dogs, and to our services to you. We have a team of highly skilled trainers who aren’t just the best in the business, but they have a true love and passion for dogs. This means that they take absolute pride in achieving the best results possible for the dogs that they train.
We know that trusting strangers with your little companion is not an easy decision, so we do our utmost to ensure you have peace of mind whilst they are with us. With regular communication and full transparency, our team goes above and beyond to ensure that both you and your dog feel completely comfortable throughout the training process. After all, happy pets, happy humans!
Why we're the best
We love dogs
Dogs are very perceptive animals, and they can feel whether they are loved or not. Our genuine love and care for the dogs that we train feeds through to them, making them a lot more receptive to our methods.
Professional team
Everyone loves dogs though, right? Well our team are also experts in our field, with knowledge of the newest and most effective methods, that encourage and instil behaviours that last a lifetime.
Tailored training options
Over the years, we’ve met enough dogs to fill a football stadium, and each one has been completely different. This has shown us the importance of bespoke training programs, because one size never fits all.
Transparency
The decision to let a group of strangers look after and train your dog is not an easy one, which is why we recognise the importance of full transparency. You will be kept informed throughout the process, with honest feedback.
First class service
First-class results and first-class service go hand in hand, and we’ve got both covered. With our five-star kennels and grooming services, your dog will lead a life of luxury, whilst you sleep easy knowing your dog is enjoying pure comfort.
Peace of mind
During the stay, you can put your feet up with a lovely cuppa in the know that your dog is safe, comfortable, and actually improving. How, though? Providing regular updates, comprehensive aftercare, and partnering with trusted vets.
Innovative methods
Dog training is an agile process, and if you stand still, you’ll be left behind. There’s always new research coming out, which we stay on top of and integrate into our training for the best possible results.
Quick turnaround
Some of our clients are often left in disbelief at the amount of progress their dogs make in such a short space of time. They learn to believe it pretty quickly by realising we build tangible results that last a lifetime, in weeks.
