As Advanced Animal Centred Education Tutors, we use ACE (Animal Centred Education) force-free, kind and effective reward based methods within our training as we believe these methods are not only ethical but also build a stronger, more sustainable, bond between you and your dog.

Strengthening the bond between you & your dog.

We believe in the importance of an enriched and varied lifestyle for all dogs no matter age, breed or ability. To help fulfil this, we aim to provide a wide range of enriching activities in our specialist coaching centre, all taught through force free, rewarding methods and adapted to meet the needs of each dog.

Why choose us?
The solutions to your behaviour problems or training needs will be sustainable and will help you in the real world, not just in a training setting.

Animal Centred Education

We are proudly ACE (Animal Centred Education) Advanced Tutors.

ACE is 'an integrated approach to animal well-being and education. ACE combines observations of the dog's posture, movement and nervous system responses'.

Through using ACE principles we are able to work with the dog as a whole, helping them find peace and harmony.

ACE was founded by, and is led by, Sarah Fisher.

Happy Dogs, Happy People, Happy Lives

Our Centre is Designed for Your Dog

When designing our coaching centre we have put the dogs at the centre of all our decisions. The physical and mental wellbeing of each dog that comes through the door has been considered and we aim to meet all of their individual needs.
