August 2026 — Upcoming Sessions

9th Sunday

Training Never Stops

⚑ 3 Spaces Only
⏱ 8:00am 📍 Broxbourne Woods

Limited to 3 members only. This is an intentionally small, premium session. Spaces are first-come, first-served — secure yours early to avoid missing out.

A structured outdoor dog training walk set in the beautiful woodland of Broxbourne, conveniently accessible from Cheshunt, Waltham Cross, Hoddesdon, Lee Valley, Harlow, Ware, and across Hertfordshire and Essex. This session takes your dog's training out of the classroom and into a real-world environment — one filled with natural distractions, scents, and open space — while remaining calm, controlled, and fully supported. Focused on neutrality, loose lead walking, engagement, confidence building, and real-life fulfilment work, this walk helps reactive and sensitive dogs learn to move through the world they actually live in. Accessible for clients travelling from Broxbourne, Cheshunt, Waltham Cross, Hoddesdon, Lee Valley, Hertford, Ware, Harlow, Epping, Sawbridgeworth, or Bishop's Stortford — real progress, in a real environment.

13th Thursday

🐾 BOUS Walk

✨ New · Midweek Bonus
⏱ 7:00pm 📍 Nicolas Field, Harlow 💷 £20 per dog

A fun, structured midweek training walk for dogs who need a bit more than an average walk. The BOUS Walk is a bright, energetic bonus session — one of our dog training walks based in Harlow and across Essex — built around mental stimulation, basic obedience and safe social exposure, giving your dog a proper outlet for their natural behaviours while building real training foundations out in the field.

During the session we introduce basic obedience from scratch, build engagement and focus around distractions, and work on genuine neutrality around other dogs, using food drive and toy drive to create calm, positive associations rather than pressure. This isn't about forcing dogs to interact — it's about teaching your dog that they can exist safely around other dogs while still checking in with you. It's a practical, rewarding midweek top-up alongside our regular dog training classes in Harlow, and a great option if you're looking for reactive dog classes, dog socialisation Harlow support, or simply more dog behaviour training between weekend sessions.

🌿

Structure, not pressure

Every session has a clear purpose. We work with your dog's natural state — never against it — and move at a pace that supports genuine progress.

🌎

Real-world training

We train in the environments your dog actually lives in. Confidence built in the real world is confidence that lasts.

🧠

Emotional intelligence

We understand reactive dogs. Sessions are designed to support calm, confident behaviour — not suppress it or push past it.

👥

Small groups by design

Sessions are intentionally limited so every dog and handler gets the attention, space, and support they need.


Please read before attending

🐶

Dogs remain on lead at all times unless specifically instructed otherwise by your trainer. This is non-negotiable across all outdoor sessions and is in place for the safety and comfort of every dog and handler present.

Weather & cancellations: Sessions run in all reasonable weather. In the event of severe conditions or an unavoidable cancellation, you will be contacted directly with a rescheduled date. Please ensure your contact details are current at time of booking.

🏭

Spaces are limited by design. Session sizes are intentionally kept small to maintain quality and individual attention. Once a session is full, booking closes. We recommend securing your place early — particularly for small-group sessions.
