THE DOG TRAINING COMPANY

Knowledge alone isn't enough. It's what you do with it that changes everything.

At The Dog Training Company, we don't just teach your dog — we teach you. How to read them, how to communicate clearly, and how to build the kind of relationship where good behaviour isn't forced, it's understood.

Over 7,000 dogs trained across Yorkshire. Every single one different. Every single one better for it.

OUR UNIQUE APPROACH TO DOG TRAINING

We have spent over 20 years developing what we believe to be a unique approach to dog training. Through extensive relationship building and teaching, we are able to achieve a level of bond, understanding and communication that is so sought after with our family pets. Once we have achieved the base relationship, we are able to guide you through the correct testing and improvement processes, which will increase your ability to enjoy your dog at the level you desire.

We won’t mask problems and we never attempt to quick fix them either. Unfortunately these methods of dog training simply do not work long term. We will establish the underlying cause of the issue you are facing, and ensure that this is addressed directly. Once we have helped you change what was causing the problem, you will see how simple and fun dog training can and should be.

We take great pride in our ability to offer owners the best route of training for all breeds of dog and any issues you may be having. This ranges from basic puppy training to serious behaviour modification and advanced obedience training. Our aim is to tailor a service that fits both your lifestyle and your goals.

OUR HISTORY

With a background in the world of dogs spanning over 30 years — including breeding, training, and competing on the world stage — The Dog Training Company was founded in 2008 as part of Pointer Farm Kennels in Leeds. We grew rapidly through word-of-mouth and quickly became a dedicated training business in its own right. In 2013, to meet growing demand, we incorporated as a separate company — reflecting our commitment to doing one thing and doing it exceptionally well.

Today we operate from our West Yorkshire HQ, covering the whole of West Yorkshire, and our Sheffield centre serving South Yorkshire. We have trained over 7,000 dogs and regularly welcome clients from across the UK. Our 5-star Residential Training Facility and nationwide reach prompted the removal of "Yorkshire" from our name — reflecting who we are today rather than where we started.
