Well-trained, happy dogs in Essex!

Genuinely Effective Dog Training in Essex

At The Dog Guy Essex, there’s one thing that motivates us – using our specialist dog training in Essex to improve the relationships between dogs and owners. It is too common a situation where badly behaved dogs live an unhappy life because of a bad relationship with their owner. This is distressing for the family too, and our mission is to ensure that these situations are avoided.

Our remit at The Dog Guy Essex has always been to help as many dogs, and owners, as possible. It all stems from our obsession with dogs, and caring for them.

Residential Dog Training, including Fundamental Training Packages, our Reactive Dog Package and Puppy Packages, are available in Essex. Not in Essex? We also cover Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Kent, London, Manchester, Midlands, Norfolk, Oxfordshire, Suffolk, Surrey and Yorkshire.

Residential Dog Training

Our residential dog training, available in Essex (and throughout the UK), is our most favoured and well-received training programme, and it’s for good reason too. This truly innovative method has left dozens of owners who were about to give up on dog training and sent their dogs to us as a last resort stunned by the results. The Dog Guy Essex are leaders in the field of residential dog training.

So what happens? Throughout the training period, your dog will stay with us. For the best possible outcome, we focus on forming a close bond with your dog to gain a real understanding of their personalities, as every dog is different! As we go along, we’ll develop a customised course for your dog’s needs and personality. Along with routine physical activity and cerebral stimulation, your dog will attend daily training classes. Your dog has the option of staying in our opulent five-star kennel facilities or in a home environment, which are both based in Essex. Your dog is guaranteed to live like royalty after a long day’s training!
