How our York dog training works

Book assessment

Our friendly admin team or user-friendly booking system makes it easy for you to book an assessment for your dog at a time that suits you.

Initial meet & consultation

Our consultations are critical in helping us to get to know more about your dog, their background, history and the relationship between you. They also give you the opportunity to meet our staff, have a look around the centre and touch on training methods that may be appropriate to your dog. This allows us to optimise the plan as much as possible. ‘Going in blind’ would be nonsensical for an owner and for us.

Bespoke training programme

We offer a number of different base services at the YCA. The assessment allows an insight into which of these services may be the most appropriate and also appeals to you. Once you have decided, we set about creating a skeleton curriculum, covering the priorities of your dog and our trainers suggestions. This can morph and change the duration of the course depending on circumstance.

Remote & in-person training

We offer both in person and remote training to suit individual commitments. 

Graduation

On completion of your course, your trainer will advise you on next steps. You’re always welcome at the YCA and we have multiple continuation services. You can take it easy while still keeping up with your training at our socialisation classes, or aim to push your dog a little further and try your hand at advanced obedience. We even have a working dog club who have great fun on a sunday, training dogs and sipping coffee while talking about dogs! Remember, if your dog’s awake, you're training (or detraining) them!
