What the week involves
- Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm each day
- In person at Swan Ln, Eccup, Leeds, West Yorkshire
- You attend all 5 days with your dog. This isn't board and train
Is this you?
- You're walking at 5am, 6am, or 10pm to avoid other dogs.
- Your head's on a 360 swivel the whole walk. You're scanning for dogs that "mysteriously appear from nowhere."
- You've cancelled holidays. You book cottages by fence height. The camper van's sat on the drive for two years.
- Your dog hasn't been properly off the lead in years. A long line at best, and even that has your heart in your mouth.
- Your dog is an angel in the house and a different animal outside.
- You've cried about this. More than once.
- You've already paid at least one trainer. Often two or three. The treat training plateaued. The board and train didn't transfer. The e-collar made it worse. One of them told you you'd bought the wrong dog.
If any of that sounds like you, you're in the right place.
Your dog isn't broken. And this isn't your fault.
Your dog wasn't always like this. There was a day it changed. An attack. A move. A break-in. An injury. Or maybe nothing at all. Maybe he was a COVID puppy and the world just closed up around him.
Everyone said he'd grow out of it. He didn't. And he won't. Not without help.
You didn't cause it. The methods you were sold were never built for the real world. Treats work in the kitchen. They fail on the street. Board and trains work for the trainer. They fail when the dog comes home to you.
You're not a bad owner. You're an owner who was sold the wrong tools.
We'll be your last trainer.
Not because we're magic. Because we do the one thing nobody else does: we train you AND the dog, together, for 5 days. Wednesday through Friday we take it into the real world. By Friday your dog walks past other dogs. By Friday he's off the lead, chasing squirrels safely, and coming back when you call. By Friday you're not on a 360 swivel anymore. You're just on a walk.
| Every other trainer | The 5-Day Bootcamp |
|---|---|
| Weekly sessions that plateau after month two | 5 days, 30 hours. Done by Friday. |
| A sterile training field where no dog will ever approach | Parks. Streets. Open fields, off the lead. The actual places you actually go. |
| Board and train: the dog behaves for the trainer, then comes home to you | You're in the room all 5 days. You learn it. You own it. |
| Treats that work in the kitchen and fail on the street | Tools that work when a dog comes round the corner, on or off the lead |
| Pay everything up front and hope | A deposit secures your spot. The rest on Friday, after the pub. |
We've never had a dog not make it to the pub on Friday. And the pub is just the proof. The real prize is the off-lead walk on Saturday afternoon, your first one without us.
Real dogs. Real starting points. Same ending.
The dogs we work with
Working breeds with no job to do
A huge share of the dogs we see. Working-dog brain, pet-dog life. We give them purpose and control.
The dogs everyone crosses the road for
Big, powerful, judged on sight. Muzzle mandates included. Other trainers turn them away. Bring him to us.
Rescues with a past
Dogs pulled off euthanasia lists. Street rescues. Dogs who've spent a year in kennels. We take them.
Dogs with bite histories
Four bites. Kennel bans. Police cautions. We've taken those dogs. Every one got its freedom back by Friday.
Multi-dog households at war
One dog triggers the other. Walks in shifts. Garden on a rota. Both dogs, same week, second dog half price.
Small dogs nobody takes seriously
Pocket-sized with a big attitude. Everyone laughs until they meet him.
The dog you have is literally the dog we want. That's all we do.
This bootcamp isn't for you if…
- You want a board and train where we fix the dog without you.
- You can't attend all 5 days in person.
- You only want a treats-based approach.
- You're not ready to keep the work going after the week.
The guarantee, straight
- A deposit secures your spot.
- You come for 5 days. You see the results all week.
- You pay the balance on Friday, after your dog has made it to the pub.
- If he doesn't, you get your money back. All of it.
You'll sit there on Monday going "how are we going to make it to the pub on Friday?" And then you're all sat in the pub on Friday.

What changed after Bootcamp
From a muzzled, reactive dog whose family avoided close encounters with people and dogs, to calmly passing people and enjoying days out after Bootcamp.
From a rescue dog so reactive that her family could not enjoy walks, people, dogs or campsites, to a calmer dog living a far more normal life after Bootcamp.
From hiding from people, barking at dogs and struggling with everyday outings, to calmly settling in cafés and pubs and visiting residents in a care home after Bootcamp.
From a dog whose reactivity meant her owner missed out on the walks she had always dreamed of, to confidently exploring village walks, fields and new places after Bootcamp.
From a reactive, protective pair whose family avoided busy places and other dogs, to calmly enjoying a busy seafront, meeting children and heading out in their camper van after Bootcamp.
From barking and lunging at every dog and being walked at 5 a.m. to avoid triggers, to a calm, happy dog enjoying freedom off lead, cafés, pubs and countryside walks after Bootcamp.
What happens on the call
After you apply, you'll have a short assessment call with one of our trainers. We'll ask about your dog: the breed, the age, what they do and what you've tried. Then we'll tell you whether the bootcamp is the right fit.
It isn't right for every dog, and we'll tell you straight.
We only take 8 dogs per intake, so your call slot is held just for you.
Real results from real dog owners
