Who is this week for?
Despite my efforts, Ranger’s behaviour worsened. I realised the issue wasn’t my effort; it was that I was using the wrong methods for him.
I ditched the treats and took a more structured approach, and within weeks, progress was visible. But even then, I wasn’t happy. I was micromanaging his every move.
I soon realised I was training too much. I wanted Ranger to enjoy life, not just obey commands.
After more learning, I discovered 20% of my efforts were driving 80% of the results.
By simplifying my approach, Ranger became more obedient, confident, and happier. Our walks became effortless, and stress disappeared.
I turned this approach into a step-by-step system that helped other dog owners, and the results were life-changing."
What our clients say...
“I have really enjoyed the three days. I like to think Gumbo has as well. It’s really incredible, the transformation that’s taken place within three days. We both learned a lot, and everything’s really made sense in a way that makes it easy to take forward.” – Taylor & Gumbo
"We drove down from Plymouth desperate to fix our reactive pup. After positive-only trainers didn’t help, YCA’s honest approach blew us away. By mid-week, we were calmly sipping pints in a pub with five dogs around us, something I never thought possible in such a short time”
"After months of frustration and failed training, we finally found a programme that worked. Walks went from chaotic and stressful to calm and enjoyable. Now, Lake has complete off-leash freedom, and we can take him anywhere - something we never thought possible." - Jacques & Janina
“Years of reactivity, turned around in just 5 days”

We’re here to genuinely help dogs, unlike many trainers who will have you endure months and sometimes years of training to get absolutely no where. If we aren’t able to help you genuinely transform your dogs life - we won’t take your money.
But don’t just take my word for it check out, what other owners have achieved while working with us.
Copper and I have been on quite the journey over the past three years. I refused to settle for a life of stress, fear, and pure management and I never stopped believing things could get better. Copper was adopted during his peak fear period, nervy, under-socialised, and horribly reactive from day one. I was a first-time dog owner in way over my head. Despite reading books, attending seminars, and working with six different trainers (including a board & train), his reactivity worsened. We faced off-lead attacks, developed a bite history, misused tools, and saw fleeting progress followed by setbacks. I knew more was possible, but we kept falling short.
Then I found Yorkshire Canine Academy. The structure is clear, flexible, and tailored to both dog and owner. I felt fully supported, heard, and guided every step of the way. The trainers’ investment in us made all the difference.
Today, Copper is unrecognisable, playful, trusting, resilient, and able to make great choices on his own. When he’s unsure, he looks to me.If you’re on the fence, take it from someone who’s been through it all, I only wish we’d found YCA sooner. If you’re ready to put in the work and want more for your life with your dog, you’ve just found your place.
“Years of reactivity, turned around in just 5 days”
Thanks to all the guys at YCA for their help with Atlas last week, especially Elisha, AJ and Kirky. The difference in just five days has been incredible. We used to avoid other dogs on walks, and now we’re actually looking for them so we can practice. The training was really focused on our goals and gave us the chance to work around other dogs in a controlled, safe way. It made us feel a lot more confident handling him in tricky situations. We’re now also able to give him so much more freedom which he is really enjoying and his manners around other dogs have improved massively. We left bootcamp super happy with how far he’s come, and with plenty of things to keep building on. I’d definitely recommend YCA to anyone looking to put in the work and see real results with their dog.
Hi guys at YCA thank you for the last week 5 day’s bootcamp i found it very useful and informative and interesting you can watch all the videos off different platforms and you think you’re going the right path with your dogs and then you fail, with me going to YCA and taking the time to learn from the team there, hands on experience with people who have the same problems with their dogs it’s has been very successful with my 2 cane corsa’s Charlie & Coco.its put me on the right path to succeed so my dogs can have more balance structured life fun and enjoy their lives.
The YCA changed our life. Stark is a working line springer who when I first came in for a consultation was reactive to people and a ball of nervous energy he had no idea how to be still. Every trip out with him I was waiting for him to react to someone, and leaving him at home was a nightmare too, he’d bark and howl the second I left. He had no freedom to just be a dog because I couldn’t trust his recall so he was just getting more and more frustrated.
I did some one on one sessions at the academy and then signed up for a 1 week group bootcamp and it’s the best decision I could’ve made for him. He now has a recall I didn’t think I’d ever achieve with him and he gets the freedom to just be a dog. He’s not losing his mind every time someone walks up to us or looks at him. He’s getting to go on more adventures with friends and family and not stressing the entire time.
Seeing the results of the others at the bootcamp only highlighted the amazing work that the team do. I can’t thank everyone at the YCA enough!
I cannot speak highly enough of Jacob and the team! I attended the reactive bootcamp for a week with my rehomed spaniel. We had tried everything, games, breed specific etc and I started following them on social media because I liked their honesty and also the explanations. They put a lot of free stuff out there but there were missing pieces for me. Nothing could have prepared me for the skills of both training and teaching. And so much patience and kindness for the 6 dogs and owners there. It’s hard to say you need help. It’s also hard to believe that you are capable of the fix. I’m so glad I got over my nerves and just did it. I didn’t think I had the time to do this - we travelled from Scotland- but I’ve had more free time now I have a settled and happy dog when I just put in the right stuff. I will be subscribing for some time to keep it up. I know I can reach out if I need anything. Thanks to all of you!
Rico is our fourth German Shepherd. We rescued him at nine months old. That was just over four months ago, and already, he's the best dog I ever imagined having. I thought I knew plenty about dog training after my last GSD, but figured I'd try something different with Rico, because really, it was a challenge with my last dog. What I was doing did not work. After watching all kinds of dog trainers, over many years, following advice in person, in books and on YouTube, I was drawn to Jacob and Kirky and the crew at YCA because I liked what I saw. Their approach is different than any I've worked with or seen over the years - it's a healthy relationship with their dogs balancing play, discipline and love for their dogs, honoring the true nature of the dogs. The dogs get it, are happy, and understand what's expected of them in a language that's clear to them. I signed Rico up for the "Focus in Four" online and was hooked. It worked. So well, in fact, that I signed on board for the Training With Instinct. Now I don't think the folks at YCA will ever get rid of us. I love their method, it works, and Rico loves it and shines. Quite honestly, it's fun. He looks forward to training time, and gets it. For me, it makes sense. Sometimes, the videos are downright funny, and really, doesn't that help lighten up when we can get so overwhelmed with dog training and take it so seriously? This approach is on one hand a breath of fresh air, and on the other, an awesome bootcamp that we actually enjoy being in. I can't believe what an amazing dog I have after just a few months. We live on a ranch and rarely get to town, so I'm slow to progress with the distraction elements of this training like meeting other dogs and being in other locations, but we're getting there with the solid foundation. I thought I was nuts at first paying what felt like so much, but time has shown me it's worth it and more. Looking forward to continuing, and learning more. I'll share more when I complete the TWI program, but already I can recommend it, and I have to several people who look at me and Rico and have been impressed. Thanks so much to everyone at YCA for making this program available for us so far away.
I have followed YCA for a long time now as got issues with reactivity in my 2 dogs. I have just spent a week at bootcamp with my Weimaraner and it’s been life changing! It’s not for the feint hearted but if you’ve got issues and prepared to face up to them and turn up and put the work in every day and follow what they teach you, you won’t regret it! The support they give before, during and after is great and they have such a wealth of knowledge and experience in different dogs and issues! They are professional,they show empathy towards owners, have a sense of humour and love their dogs and what they do! Thank you!

Your questions answered
Most of our clients come to us after wasting money on outdated methods or trainers who couldn’t deliver results. The difference? We focus on practical, real-world training that actually works, and we guarantee it. If you don’t see significant improvement, we refund you. No other trainer offers that level of confidence.
We hear this all the time, until clients try our approach. The reality is, most people have only tried a handful of common methods that aren’t tailored to their dog. Our system is different: it’s based on what actually works, not internet trends or outdated theories.
No dog is untrainable. We’ve worked with thousands of ‘lost causes’, dogs who were labelled dangerous, reactive, or out of control. The problem isn’t your dog, it’s the approach you’ve been using. That’s what we’ll fix.
We’ve successfully trained everything from stubborn terriers to high-drive working breeds. The idea that certain breeds are ‘untrainable’ is a myth, one we’ve disproven time and time again. The principles we teach work across the board, no matter the breed or background.
You don’t need hours a day, just a few minutes of the right training. Our methods fit into your daily routine, so you’ll see results without your entire life revolving around training.
That’s exactly why we offer direct coaching and ongoing support. If you ever get stuck, you’ll have expert trainers on hand to guide you through it.
If you follow our programmes and don’t see significant improvement in your dog’s behaviour within 60 days, we’ll refund you. No risk, no nonsense.
You could, but how much longer do you want to struggle? If you wanted results by now, you’d already have them. Instead of trial and error, this programme gives you a proven roadmap, so you can stop guessing and start seeing real progress.
