Whether you have a new puppy that you need guidance with or an older dog that needs to be trained to be safe around livestock, I run residential courses with a very high success rate.
These courses are tailored to the individual dog owner’s needs and the needs of your dog.
Local sessions consist of two appointments usually a fortnight apart. This gives you time to implement the new house rules and practice what you have been taught before coming back for the second recall session.
For owner with dog residential training, a minimum of one week is required unless you have been before in which case we can do a refresher course over three days.
We will assist with finding dog-friendly accommodation in the locality
Would your ideal dog be one that didn’t pull you when on a lead, was calm when meeting people and other dogs and came back when told? Help is at hand. I can help train you with your dog.
Basic commands – walking to heel on and off lead
Behaviour rehabilitation – snapping, biting, chewing, barking
Our 2-year-old working cocker was mental. Pulling in the lead, barking at people, barking in the house and just generally being a round pain. Since our stay with Mick and Mandy, this has all stopped, she has a new routine, and our house is a happier place with my stress levels back within the average human levels! She is back to her normal weight and is happier for it.
She now knows her place in the house, no more excessive treats or ruling the roost for her. The cottage is great too, and Mick and Mandy were fantastic hosts. Thank you for having us and for all of your help. Danny, Lucy and the new and improved Emily! X
Having just spent a training weekend at Airds Farmhouse with my 15-month-old Springer Spaniel, I would like to thank Mick for his excellent training and guidance and both him and Mandy for making me so welcome.
I have come home with new training methods and, more importantly, an understanding of how and why they work.
This is the start of a new training regime for myself and Ollie, and thanks to Mick, I am confident I will see big improvements in his behaviour before too long. Airds Farmhouse is a lovely place to stay and highly recommended!
I went to visit yesterday with my little french bulldog; she had taken over the house and thought she was pack leader & in return was bossing me around and growling when she didn’t want to do things.. was at my wits end after getting some poor advice, after just 30 mins at working canines her attitude had totally changed!
I spent 4 hours up there getting all the tools I needed to take back authority with her & the last 24hrs have been a total dream!! I can’t stress how happy we are!!
Mick patiently taught my husband and Bella the B to work together. She's still mad, but at least she's mad and comes home when called....more than I can say for the husband, LoL.
Amazing results - I cannot believe the difference after spending time with Mick. Instead of dreading our walks, it is now a sheer pleasure and to see Barney enjoy himself so much is such a joy.
Highly recommend that you seek Mick for behaviour problems with your pet.
Took our staffie to Mick for two sessions on heel walking and recall.
The difference is amazing, really good trainer and I would highly recommend him
