Why We Require an Assessment
Stay & Train is a significant commitment for both you and your dog
Residential training isn't right for every dog. Some need a different approach. This consultation ensures we understand your dog's unique needs, confirm they're suited for intensive residential training and set realistic expectations. It's about finding the right solution - not just making a sale.
Understand Your Dog's Needs
Every dog is unique. We assess temperament, behaviour patterns and training needs to recommend the right programme.
Ensure Dog Suitability
Stay & Train is intensive. We need to confirm your dog is physically and mentally ready for residential training.
Check Home Environment
We review your home setup to ensure successful training transfer when your dog returns.
Set Realistic Goals
We discuss what you want to achieve and create a clear roadmap with realistic timelines.
What Happens in the Consultation
90 minutes to understand your dog and create a clear training plan
Dog Behaviour Assessment
We meet your dog, observe their behaviour, assess temperament and evaluate current training level. We look at how they handle new people, environments and basic commands.
Goal Discussion
You tell us what behaviours you want to change and what you want to achieve. We discuss your daily routine, challenges and what success looks like for you.
Programme Recommendation
Based on our assessment, we recommend Puppy Kickstart (2 weeks), Manners & Mindset (3 weeks) or Behaviour Reset (4 weeks). We explain why and what outcomes to expect.

We check your home setup for crate training, exercise routines and household structure. We identify anything that needs adjusting before or after the programme.
