Owners we’ve helped from York

Jacob saw him for a day, and he was noticeably better on the lead after just this first session. sessions were varied, informative and fun – quite different to other dog training classes!

“My Dachshund Fred spent 6 weeks on a residential training program . Under their expert guidance Freds obedience levels have left me completely stunned. In addition the time and effort they have put into me has been incredible. They care not only about Fred , but also me , so their expert knowledge has been passed on in order for me to continue their great work”

“Had my consultation last night with my 10 month old German Shepard Storm. Ian was super reassuring with me and was great with Storm. I was extremely nervous as I’ve never had to take any of my 6 Alsatians to a dog trainer before. Can’t wait to get started.”

“100% would highly recommend Jacob and his team at YCA. If you’re an owner anything like me who sits and reads up different training techniques I can guarantee Jacob will have an alternative way for you to to consider! We’ve had nothing but support even outside of our classes.”

Hi👋 my name’s Ian, and I’m originally from Leeds but now live in beautiful York. For the last 4 years or so  I’ve been dog training; any type of pup that likes to play tug-of war with me is a perfect match! My own little furry family includes Rita (the American Bulldog), Blue (Whippet Pointer)and Fern (French bulldogs). They’re all great friends.

How it works

We like to keep things simple; our steps below show our 5-step approach.

1. Book.

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.

2. Meet.

Our initial assessment allows us to identify and address the needs to be met or problems that need to be solved.

3. Plan

Once we have an understanding of what your dog needs, our training team will create a training programme that suits both you and your dog.

4. Train

This is where the hard work starts. Our training team will guide you through our tailored programme in person and remotely when you need it.

5. Graduation.

On completion of the course, you and your dog will graduate from the Yorkshire Canine Academy and will gain access to exclusive member services such as day-care, boarding and store discount.

One Happy Dog.

I have had a fantastic experience with Yorkshire Canine Academy! The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to helping dogs thrive. The positive reinforcement methods used are effective, and my crazy spaniel is responding incredibly well. The facility is well-maintained, creating a comfortable environment for both dogs and their owners. I highly recommend Yorkshire Canine Academy for anyone seeking professional and positive dog training.

Not only a great place to train your dog, which I have been a loyal customer to for about a year and a half now, but also a professional organiser of many insightful and often completely free seminars, filled with interesting topics and helpful advice that I’ve been able to take away and incorporate into training of my dog. I highly recommend this place, run by people who are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and experienced.

Attended a seminar at Yorkshire Canine Academy which I found really useful with some good tips to take home and use with my dog training. Would definitely recommend attending future seminars.
