Our certified BAT instructors specialise in reactivity issues. We create customised behaviour modification plans addressing anxiety and aggression through gradual exposure and positive reinforcement techniques.
What areas do you cover for in-person training?
We operate from Bracknell, serving Berkshire and surrounding counties. Private sessions available locally, with online options for clients further afield.
Are puppy socialisation opportunities available?
While our group classes focus on structured training, we incorporate controlled socialisation elements. For dedicated socialisation needs, we recommend discussing specific requirements with our trainers.
