While we know you adore your dog, sometimes they can develop behaviours that you might struggle to deal with. From simple pulling on the leash, to aggression or separation anxiety, let us work with you to help make your life together more harmonious.

Are you struggling to find the time to train your dog? We get it. Sometimes a break from their environment and some intensive training can be a game changer.
Part of the deal is we then train you, yes YOU 🙂 to keep up the progress & development.

Our training sessions are not just effective; they're also enjoyable. We believe in a playful approach that makes learning fun for both dogs and their owners.
No need to feel embarrassed about your dog's behavior. At Dognitive, we provide a judgment-free space where every challenge is an opportunity for growth.
We understand the demands of a busy life. That's why we offer flexibility, even coming to you for sessions, ensuring training fits seamlessly into your schedule.
Although I hate the “that depends” response, it really does depend on what’s going on with your dog. Most puppies can be trained in 2-3 sessions, but behavioural issues can vary based on the issue and environment. One point I love to make is that the pace of change is very much driven by how much you, as the parents, are willing to put in. A bit like that gym membership, the more you put in the better the results!
I’m very flexible – Dublin wider area and Louth. If you need help with a recommendations for outside of these areas, I’d be happy to recommend someone in my network!
This is our standard approach but every situation is unique:
Training sessions are €150/hour for the first session and €125/hour for any follow up sessions.
Zoom consultations are €90 for 45 minutes - useful for that first initial chat and exploration of what is going on.
The first session is usually a consultation session where I will ask lots of questions to get a handle on your furry friend and what you are looking to achieve. There’s no prep required but it would be good to have the following at the ready – walking gear, toys, along with info on diet and any medications.
We practice reward-based, non-aversive training techniques. We want you and your dog to enjoy yourself while you train – our experience is that gets the best long-term results, is the least stressful for your dog and builds a better bond between you and your pup.
You bet they do. Most dogs come tearing to the door when they know it's training time. And wait till you see how tired they are after training - the mental stimulation is as good as a work-out for them.
I tend to say “never” to this answer. You can teach an old dog “new tricks”, but it will just take longer. With a very old dog, I can help you decide if it’s worth the effort. Dogs tend to love training, so it can be a way to add fun and mental stimulation into their lives as the physical side slows down.
Absolutely – happy to help here. It’s all part of the service and often the solution to a problem.
Apart from our Board & Train service, no we don’t. I would be happy to recommend some great service providers in the area.
Nicky and his team at Pet Angel Sitters are fully insured and 100% reliable.
We can train your dog here in Baldoyle (particularly for our Board & Train service) but I tend to train your pup in your home and surrounding area – that is where they will learn fastest and where they’ll have to practice what they’ve learned.
