We teach dog owners to train their dogs and puppies to foster new skills, whilst developing and enhancing existing abilities and nurturing hidden talents. The Way of the Dog Ltd services can be provided in Lancashire and across the North West, and across the UK by arrangement. In addition to covering Lancashire we offer dog training across Cheshire, Cumbria, and West Yorkshire.

Guardian Breed Puppy Development
Personal Puppy Development Programme aimed at those breeds associated with guarding roles and individually tailored to the needs of the family and the living environment. A bespoke puppy training and development programme conducted during the critical social development periods is an absolute must. Following an initial consultation, we create a suitable puppy development package that meets your needs, is appropriate for your specific breed of dog, and is delivered in a safe learning environment.
Guardian Breed One to One Dog Training
A private one-to-one dog training session for you and your guardian supports and promotes individual learning at a pace that the individual dog and owner is comfortable with. A group training environment might be a barrier to participation and learning for some whilst a private one-to-one dog training session removes that barrier supporting healthy and rapid progression. One-to-one dog training is available for dogs associated with guarding type roles such as Rottweilers, German Shepherd Dogs, Malinois, Dutch Shepherds (Herders), Dobermans, Giant Schnauzers, and others.
Specialist Dog Training
At The Way of the Dog Ltd we offer specialist dog training covering aspects of personal protection, dog security, and, detection work for private or corporate clients. Prior to providing specialist training of any kind a pre enrolment or professional engagement consultation will be carried out, handler suitability interviews maybe necessary and an assessment of a dog’s potential will be compulsory. We adopt a strict control policy regarding the delivery of any form of protection related training.
