Why Train with RSPCA Cornwall Experts?
Our biggest strength is our experience. Unlike many trainers, our team works hands-on, every single day, with rescue dogs facing some of the most complex behavioural challenges, from severe anxiety to deep-rooted reactivity.
This daily experience means we have a unique depth of understanding and a toolbox of proven, positive techniques. When you train with us, you're not just getting a trainer—you're getting an expert backed by years of real-world, front-line animal welfare work.
What You'll Learn
Our 5-week curriculum builds on basic obedience, introducing more complex skills and real-world challenges in a fun, supportive group setting.
Focus & Engagement
Learn how to keep your dog's attention and focus on you, even with the excitement of other dogs and distractions.
Advanced Loose-Lead Walking
We'll move beyond the basics to proofing your loose-lead skills, preparing you for calm walks in more challenging environments.
Rock-Solid Stays & Emergency Stops
Teach your dog a reliable 'stay' and a crucial 'emergency stop' command for those moments when safety is paramount.
Polite Greetings & Calmness
Work on preventing jumping up and promoting calm behaviour when meeting new people and dogs.
Fun & Games Graduation
We'll put all the skills together in a fun obstacle course and celebrate everything you've accomplished together!
