What our Students say

When we decided to get a puppy, we made a commitment to raise him properly from day one. Enrolling Elvie into international dog training school was one of the best decisions we made. He constantly gets commented on for being such a well behaved dachshund and anyone who knows dachshunds knows that’s saying something. He can stay, come when called, ignore food dropped on the floor unless he’s given permission and has incredible impulse control for his age. But what truly sets this school apart is the trainers. They don’t just teach commands. They teach owners how to lead with clarity, consistency and calm confidence. They go above and beyond to answer questions, give personalised feedback and genuinely care about the long-term development of your dog. We didn’t just walk away with a trained puppy. We walked away with the tools to be better dog owners. If you’re thinking about training – do it properly, and do it early. You won’t regret it.

I adopted my poodles at 6yrs & 7yrs, with the guidance of great trainers and learning positive training techniques I now have 2 happy confident dogs after completing ā€˜minors’ course cert with both dogs individually..and now my boy is enrolled in ā€˜paws for purpose’ course working on assistance dog training.. I’m really proud of how far they have come
