Do you desire your pet to be happy, calm at home, walk nicely on a leash and come back when called?

Behaviour Modification and Training Programmes

The feelings and emotions of your dog are placed at the very core of our unique system of training. Based upon mutual respect and understanding, our aim is to create strong and meaningful relationships in which dogs and their owners can thrive. We treat each and every dog as an individual with no exceptions. Any breed, age or skill level: your dog is welcome.

In most cases, an initial consultation with one of our extensively qualified and experienced behaviour practitioners is necessary in order to define your goals and to ascertain the root causes of your dogs behaviours. Foundational work begins immediately and you will be advised of the recommended programme including the number and frequency of your subsequent sessions. Ghost Force K9 Academy provides an environment where dogs can learn safely and effectively and on occasion, we visit remotely. We offer One-to-One in person sessions and Focus Days (your dog is trained directly by a trainer). In more complex cases, we offer 'Regimen' where your dog is cared for residentially.

We understand and are mindful of what an unsettling & difficult time it can be when you are having problems with your dog's behaviour. Even seasoned dog owners can find themselves in this situation. It is reassuring to know that we have a fantastic record of success & can guide you through the process with experience & confidence.

Traditional behaviour consultations can be lengthy, causing owners to feel overwhelmed. We opt for simplified, progressive one to one training to ensure your goals are achievable. In addition, we provide remote support to ensure your goals remain on-track. Throughout your experience with us, we will be your Coach and Mentor whilst acting as the voice of your dog.

We deal with all canine behaviour including:

Aggression
Fears & Phobias
Impulsive Behaviour
Poor Recall
Chewing & Destructiveness
Excessive Barking
Toileting Issues
Anxieties

What Our clients say

I had been searching for a while for a suitable behavioural specialist for my dog but never thought that any other services were quite right. When I found Ghost Force I instantly knew that they were the right people for my dog and me. A few weeks down the line, I am without doubt confident that Ghost Force was the right choice. Ghost Force have been exceptionally professional, informative I also appreciated their patient and supportive approach during one-on-one appointments. Ghost Force has a abundance of knowledge and professionalism. I highly recommend to anyone searching for a dog behaviour/specialist trainer, Ghost Force

Claire

We are so grateful to Ghost Force. With kindness and patience they helped solve a few training and behaviour issues we had. Always on hand for advice and gave loads of encouragement, the dogs loved them. Our house is so much calmer now. Would highly recommend!

Ann

Training from start to finish we both gained more knowledge from both trainers. Knowing what we know now has increased how to assist our dog in anything that might come towards us and also knowing our dog has a new very very best friend is absolutely brilliant on the understanding of our dog. Words are just not enough

Sharon

Couldn't walk our Staffy cross due to her constant pulling! Got in touch with Ghost Force K9, with a few sessions she now walks on a lead without pulling! They are now working on her recall. They make it fun for the dog 🐕 Got a totally different dog! Would highly recommend them!!
