A super combo class for any dog owners who are looking to improve their dogs outdoor manners! I welcome all breeds of all ages

Your dog must be comfortable & friendly in a group environment and with new people & dogs.

Excitement is great, working-dog energy is brilliant, and adolescence awkwardness is totally fine; but if you're dog is showing signs of reactivity (growling/lunging type behaviours) then a group setting would be too overwhelming for them, and working one-to-one to build towards groups would be best!

Spaces are limited, and a wait list will be opened up. Payment will be required by 8th November to secure your spot. These details will be in your confirmation message once you've signed up.

Hi all, just a little update on Release the Hounds!
I'm currently working 7 flexible days per week; this means I'm available Mon - Sun, at various times, ensuring that I can work around your schedules.

For now, I am doing one-to-one training consultations where I go to your home and we design a bespoke training plan tailored to you & your dogs needs, which we focus on for a couple of weeks at a time, in between progression sessions.
The prices for these private training sessions vary slightly, depending on where you're located, so if you're interested, be sure to let me know where you're based when you're making a query.

Group classes are proving very popular and very fun! I have an upcoming group term (set of 4 classes), beginning at the end of September. I believe every puppy / adolescent dog should be doing group classes for their outdoor training and the added benefits of socialising and wotking around distractions.

I also have an online training option, where we do a session over zoom/facetime, and this can be booked through my website www.positivepuppy.ie. It's especially good for those who are planning on getting a puppy or rescuing a puppy / young dog, and would like some tips and advice before they arrive in their forever home. These sessions set you and your newest addition up for success!

All the best,

Once-off classes are a fantastic way to introduce yourself and your pooch to a group class setting. Many owners aren't sure how their dogs are going to react to training in a group, and sometimes they are daunted by this, so they are put off signing up for full terms. So, here's an opportunity to get a feel for it!

These classes are equally brilliant for owners who are looking to refresh their skills and for the new squishy little puppies who are ready to meet other puppies and learn together 🐕‍🦺

Each class is unique! They all offer something different. Give me a shout if you're unsure what's best for you and your furry companion, or check out the notes on each class below ⬇️

✴️ Rocket Recall is a fun, energetic class that focuses on allowing our dogs some distance away from us (all attached to long training lines, of course) and training them to come back when called. It's showing the owner how to apply this effectively and master the recall!

✴️ Puppy Foundations will give show you how to train the basics and offer your puppy plenty of time to socialise with other pups who are at a similar developmental stage. During this, we discuss body language so you can learn to understand how dogs communicate and if ever you need to intervene in dog play! We usually focus on 3 exercises in this class and will discuss play biting and toilet training too.

✴️ Loose Leash Walking has always been a favourite one of mine to teach because the results are fantastic, and it gives owners great confidence in walking their dogs. We promote the bond and communication system between owner and dog, and step-by-step get you all walking with less stress on the leads and therefore less stress throughout!

I'm a qualified trainer with almost a decade of experience, having held group classes for many years now, helping hundreds of owners and dogs! I'm accredited by the IMDT, which means I follow a code of ethics and promote only Positive Reinforcement Training.

If you'd like to sign up for any of these classes, get in touch via text or whatsapp on 083 165 7558.
