FIVE TRAINING DAYS. A SATURDAY TO PROVE IT.
WALK INTO
THE WEEKEND.
NOT AWAY FROM IT.
Five focused training days. That’s all it takes to start changing the way you walk with your dog. Your included Saturday morning half day puts that progress into practice.
Walk through busy Altrincham town centre and market with your trainer alongside you. Practise a calmer, controlled walk around passing dogs, crowds of people, children, bikes and the bustle of everyday life.
Your trainer guides the pace and distance around distractions. This is controlled practice, not forcing your dog into overwhelming situations.
INCLUDED SATURDAY HALF DAY
THE WEEK BUILDS IT.

THE DOG YOU LOVE.THE WALKS YOU DREAD.
YOUR WORLD DOESN’T HAVE TO KEEP SHRINKING
YOU’RE NOT
ENJOYING THE WALK.
YOU’RE SURVIVING IT.
Early-morning walks. Empty fields. Crossing the road before another dog gets close. You’ve become an expert at avoiding the things that set your dog off.
But avoiding everything isn’t the life you imagined together. You want a normal walk. A coffee out. To feel confident at your end of the lead.
You don’t need another tip to try on your own.
You need a clear plan—and practical help to use it.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
GOOD DOG.
HARD DAYS.
You love your dog. You’re just tired of everything feeling like a battle.
You plan every walk around avoiding other dogs or people.
You scan constantly, waiting for the next reaction.
Visitors, traffic or busy places feel like more trouble than they’re worth.
You’ve tried advice before, but it doesn’t hold when real life gets in the way.
You want to understand what to do—and feel confident doing it.
FIVE TRAINING DAYS. A SATURDAY TO PROVE IT.
ONE WEEK.

Five full days to assess, build and practise. Then an included Saturday morning half day in Altrincham town centre and market to put that progress into practice.
One clear outcome. Calmer walks in the middle of real life.

THE CHANGE THAT MATTERS
“Now we’re in town centres, we’re going to coffee shops.
My life is completely transformed.”

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
BEFORE
YOU COMMIT.
Know what the boot camp is.
Know what comes next.
01Can five days change the way we walk?
Five focused training days can change the way you walk with your dog. Monday to Friday builds the skills, then a Saturday morning half day puts them into practice in busy Altrincham town centre and market. We back that agreed walking outcome with a full refund guarantee, including your deposit. You learn how to keep using the training in everyday life afterwards.
02Is this right for my dog?
Tell us what your dog reacts to, how they respond and what you have already tried. We assess suitability before recommending a place. Age, health, bite history and the situations you need help with all matter. If another training route is more appropriate, we will say so.
03Do I attend with my dog, or drop them off?
You attend with your dog for all five training days, Monday to Friday from 10am to 4pm, plus the Saturday morning half day in Altrincham. You see the work throughout and learn how to handle your dog yourself. This is a hands on boot camp, not a residential stay or a drop off service.
04What are the dates, daily hours and number of places?
The five full training days run Monday to Friday, 10am to 4pm, in Cheshire. The programme also includes a Saturday morning half day in Altrincham town centre and market. We will confirm the exact Saturday start and finish times, intake dates and available places before you book.
05What if we have already tried other trainers?
That does not rule you out. Explain what you tried, what helped and where things broke down. We will use that context to assess your dog and discuss whether the boot camp offers a suitable next step.
06How much does the boot camp cost?
We will explain the full boot camp price and deposit amount before you book. A deposit reserves your place. The remaining balance is due on Saturday after the agreed town centre walking outcome is demonstrated. Submitting an application does not take a payment or reserve a place.
07What exactly does the refund guarantee cover?
We back the agreed outcome of walking your dog calmly and with control through busy Altrincham town centre and market on Saturday morning. You see that outcome before paying the remaining balance. If we do not demonstrate it on Saturday, we refund everything you have paid, including your deposit. The exact walking outcome and your dog’s suitability are agreed before booking.
08What happens on Saturday morning?
Saturday is your included half day in Altrincham town centre and market. With your trainer alongside you, put the week’s training into practice around passing dogs, people, children, bikes and busy market life. The goal is a calmer, controlled walk in the kind of environment you want to enjoy with your dog. Exact timings and meeting arrangements are confirmed before booking.
09What happens after the boot camp?
You leave with practical handling skills and a clear routine to keep using in everyday life. Continue practising what you have learned so the work carries into your normal walks. Any additional support included in your package will be explained before booking.
