Cainark Training Pathway
"Cainark dog training are the BEST in the business. Wilson started off going to daycare which he loves, (so much so he doesn’t want to leave!!) it’s lovely knowing he is getting lots of stimulation whilst I am working. We’ve just finished the adolescence course with Steve, he is a fantastic trainer very knowledgeable and attentive. I feel I have learnt a lot and grown in confidence with training Wilson. Thanks Cainark you are amazing"

Puppy 1:1 Home Visits
Did you know puppy training can start from as soon as you collect your new puppy? Cainark offer a puppy home set up course where our trainer and behaviourist will visit you and your new pup at home to ensure your puppy gets the best start from day one. Providing an hour session once a fortnight at your home, we help with crate training, toilet training, introducing the collar and lead, explaining puppy behaviour and body language, feeding and introducing basic commands.
Puppy 5 Week Course
Level 1 & 2
These are a small group training course held at the Country Pooch Daycare and Cainark Training Centre. Both courses are 5 weeks with an hour session taking place each week. Level 1 is ideal for pups aged from 2nd vaccination to 6 months old. We focus on socialisation, body language, lead walking, recall, eye contact, sit and wait/stay and more. Level 2 is ideal for completed their basic training and are now looking to progress further. Introducing commands such as place, down, middle, emergency stop and more, as well as improving lead walking and recall skills with increased distractions and distances.
Adolescent Course
This course is perfect for anyone that has completed Puppy Level 2 or is wanting help to train their adolescent dog. Starting to touch on obedience style training covering engagement, lead walking, recall, shaping and impulse control. This 5 week course implements everything learned in previous courses to ensure dogs and owners have the foundations ready to move into our Obedience Courses.
Reactivity Workshop
What is reactivity in dogs and why does this occur? Join our 1.5 hour workshops as a drop in session to discuss and understand reactivity. Attending with your reactive dog, this workshop is focused on training techniques and gives demonstrations to help owners gain in confidence to deal with reactive behaviour. Taking place on the first Saturday of each month outside at the Country Pooch & Cainark Training Centre.
Lead Walking & Recall Workshop
Do you dread taking your dog for a walk, or do you get walked by your dog? Do you have the confidence to allow your dog off lead without worrying about their recall? Does your dog run up to every dog to say hello? Or does your dog ignore you when you try to recall them or walk them on a lead?
Our Lead Walking & Recall workshop is for you! This 1.5 hour workshop discusses lead walking position, lead walking set up, proofing the perfect recall, giving demonstrations and techniques provided by the trainer who will also offer methods on how your dog can focus and improve engagement.
Taking place on the 2nd Saturday of each month, outside at the Country Pooch Daycare.
Socialisation & Neutrality Workshop
Does your dog get over excited by real world stimulations? Does your dog get over stimulated by other dogs or people being near it? Are you able to visit the pub or a coffee shop with your dog and they settle next to you?
This 1.5 hour workshop will equip you with the knowledge to increase engagement, teach your dog to settle and be neutral around real world situations and other dogs. Setting you and your dog on the right path to enjoy new experiences together without them being too over excited.
Taking place on the 3rd Saturday of each month
Obedience Drop ins
The obedience drop ins has been created for non-reactive dogs to excel and progress in obedience style dog training. This is an hour long, group session each week to learn how to perfect your training skills and introduce new commands. Using distance, duration and distraction as methods to enhance your dog’s ability whilst performing obedience commands within a safe, secure environment
Puppy Meet & Play
Got a new puppy and looking to socialise as well as learn? Our Puppy Meet & Play sessions are ideal for pups aged up to 6 months old. Taking place in the secure garden and barn at the Country Pooch & Cainark Training Centre, your pup will socialise and play at our facility whilst one of our trainers is on hand to provide advice and discuss canine body language. This session is 45 minutes long and is available to book as a drop in session.
1:1 Behavioural Sessions
Reactivity in dogs is 80% what we deal with on a daily basis. This is predominantly fear based and been produced through a bad experience, so let’s control the experiences as confident dogs aren’t reactive dogs!
As a behaviourist, it is my job to get you to understand why your dog does something and how we can change it. By getting the right mind set will help your dog make the right decisions, this is why I train people not dogs!
Training a dog will be one of the hardest things you ever undertake, but, get it right and the rewards are huge. Remember - there are no bad dogs...
