Residential training is one of our most enquired about services and with good reason, more people than ever are struggling to find a trainer who can actually deliver the results.
So many owners have tried numerous trainers and approaches and still have nothing to show for it so they reach out to us regarding our residential dog training as a last resort

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt in all my Years working with dogs and owners – What owners think they need and what they actually need are often two completely different things.
We’ve always been honest at WKD but, the more we learn, the more we are able to properly articulate your options, manage your expectations and ensure that the training service you choose is the best one for you and your dog.
As you read further, you’ll find more information about our residential training courses, how they work, the investment required and all other relevant information along with a detailed FAQ page.
The other thing you will find, which you won’t find elsewhere, is information on why residential may not be the right choice, why it may not help, how you can end up spending lots of money on residential training and have nothing to show for it at the end and much more.
We don’t want to confuse you, we want you to make a logical decision based on a good level of understanding of what you need to be looking for when choosing a trainer, how to choose the correct service for you and your dog and how to maximise your chances of success.
There’s a reason we share more real before and after footage than any other dog training provider in the UK. It’s because we do more and do it better. Guaranteed!
We have worked with and changed the lives of many dogs and owners who have visited numerous trainers and been enrolled on residential dog training courses elsewhere with little to no success.
If you are looking to achieve long lasting happiness with your dog and don’t have the time, inclination or skill to train your companion then be sure to contact us to discover how you and your beloved dog can benefit from partnering with WKD.
We have Three ‘types’ of residential training. Click on the one below that best relates to your situation.
