Every dog is unique, and so is our approach. We develop custom training plans based on your dog’s age, breed, temperament, and specific needs. From potty training and basic obedience to addressing behavioural challenges like aggression or anxiety, we’re here to help your dog reach their full potential.
Our goal isn’t just to train your dog—it’s to coach you. We equip you with the skills, techniques, and confidence to become a better handler and leader. By understanding your dog’s cues, motivations, and learning style, you’ll build a stronger, more rewarding relationship that lasts a lifetime.
Our training philosophy is based on collaboration. We’re here to support and guide you, but your commitment is key to achieving results. Together, we’ll unlock your dog’s potential—and yours.
From mastering basic commands to resolving complex behavioural issues, our training delivers real, measurable outcomes that enhance your dog’s quality of life—and yours.
Get your pup started on the right path with early training that sets the foundation for a lifetime of good behaviour.
It’s never too late to teach an old dog new tricks. We can address long-standing habits, behavioural issues, or refine obedience skills.
Learn the essentials of dog handling, communication, and care to feel confident every step of the way.
Each training program begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your dog’s behaviour, temperament, and specific needs.
Our trainers bring years of professional experience from training & working police search dogs, to working gun dogs in field trials & on live shoots. We bring a passion for canine behaviour to every session. We’ve worked with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentle touch. When you work with us, you’re partnering with trusted professionals who are committed to your success.
You’ll receive step-by-step guidance and practical tips to reinforce training at home. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge to continue building a strong and trusting relationship with your dog.
It’s a completely online course designed to take you step-by-step through the entire first year of training your dog.
It consists of 65 high-quality video modules that include practical demonstrations of all the key skills you will need, as well as the theory behind everything we do.
It teaches you exactly what to do, when to do it, and most importantly, WHY you should do it.
Because that’s the secret to becoming a high-level canine leader who can handle anything. Every single dog is different, and every person is different, so your experience may not look exactly the same as when Will does something or even another owner. You need to understand WHY you are doing what you’re doing so you can adapt and adjust as you go.
EXCELLENT Based on 164 reviews Yvonne Hogan2025-03-31Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul is so passionate in what he does and River knows exactly who's boss!! He's also got so much patience with us! I would recommend 110% Thank you! Hiral & Upesh Amin2025-03-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul has been great. He has helped us with our 8 week old Cavapoo - his techniques and experiences have helped us shape the way our puppy behaves - we have been toilet training outside from the off set which is now becoming easier and we can read when our dog needs to go out. I have had to amend my review due to our experience we have had since I initially wrote this. We had 1 session left with Paul which now he has refused to honour. We booked a number of appointments with Paul which we have had to cancel due to personal circumstances and illnesses in the family which have been out of our control. I have since reached out to Paul to rebook our last session which he said as I cancelled within 24 hours I now lose that session. These sessions aren't cheap and we are very disappointed with the outcome of his response. He said business is business! You did also not show up to an appointment we booked - i had to call you after waiting 20 minutes. At least we cancelled giving you notice. It's a shame it's come to this as we wouldn't use your services again! Jenna Daniels2025-03-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Paul Haylock Dog Training! Both Paul and Joe are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, working with both us and our puppy Lola to ensure we all understand the training techniques. In addition to 1-2-1 and group training sessions we also receive access to online training videos which provide a week by week guide and helped us prepare for Lola’s arrival as first time dog parents. Paul provides quick feedback to any questions we have. The approach is clear, effective, and tailored to Lola’s needs, making the whole experience enjoyable. We’ve seen great progress in Lola’s behaviour and Paul and Joe’s guidance has been invaluable throughout. Thank you Paul & Joe! 😊 Sue2025-03-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have a female. Malamute ,who was driving me to distraction I was near the point of giving her up,then I found Paul's website it turned out to be a blessing through the one to one training she is now in a better place ,we still have a long road to tread but with the guidance from paul I think me an her will make it as a team . Amy Williams2025-03-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went to Paul’s 6 week puppy classes and had two one-to-one sessions. Paul and Joe were very knowledgeable and passionate about training. Both us and our pup Podrick learnt lots of great lessons and we would highly recommend. Kerry Hudson2025-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have found the training invaluable and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had two 1/2/1’s before classes and found these super helpful. They certainly prepared us for puppy classes as Evie was super focused on us and didn’t seem too bothered about the other dogs. The classes were spacious and there weren’t too many dogs. Paul & Joe were great at explaining everything and the classes were fun and kept us engaged. It really helped us lay the right foundations and truly believe it’s why Evie is thriving now. I would highly recommend the training and so glad we did it. Alice Stanley2025-03-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was great to see our dog Daisy to learn socialise better, in calmer manner with other dogs and being more confident in learning some old and some new tricks. All was explained by Paul and Jo well, then we practiced. It was actually a lot of fun 🤩 we miss these evenings Al MacDonald2025-02-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul & Joe have been amazing. Given us great tips that we are currently implementing and we are seeing the results.Thank you so much ! David Bier2025-02-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Right from the initial home visit Paul started improving our experience of dog ownership. We enjoyed the training sessions and so did Hilda...always took some actionable tips home from each session. Few niggles with facilities here and there but we'll be carrying on with Paul and Joe, they're brilliant Sarah Baker2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We first met Paul on a home visit for our then 9 week old Cavapoo. From crate training to puppy training classes we have had untold support and Paul’s passion shines through. It’s been a massive learning curve for us but Paul has remained committed and supportive throughout. We have now signed up for phase two starting in a few weeks and can’t wait to learn even more about how to give our girl the best life. Highly recommended
Welcoming and knowledgeable, and the trainers use techniques that work wonders. My puppy, has made great progress in a short time. The supportive environment and personalized advice make this school stand out. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train their furry friend!
Paul and Joe are dedicated to their puppy training and make it enjoyable for the dogs and the owners and both learn so much on the course. Their dedication and absolute understanding of dogs is amazing and I can’t recommend them enough. If I could, I would give them ten stars. Excellent all round.
