The quiet village of Crosby Ravensworth lies in the beautiful Eden Valley in Cumbria . (Click here for directions)

Positioned on the outskirts of the village, my cottage has a garden gate which leads directly onto the fell and open moorland with miles of walks amidst wonderful scenery. My guest dogs and I are privileged to be able to use this wonderful amenity.

When your dog stays with me, he or she will be able to enjoy hours of extensive exercise off a lead, with several other guest dogs, while enjoying the open fells, new smells, new friends and having a fabulous time. As I only have four boarding kennels through choice, I am able to give your dog the time, attention and love that it needs whilst away from home. Therefore I am limited to the number of guests staying at any one time, all of whom, my staff and I get to know personally.

I am known nationally as well as throughout Cumbria for my professional experience and extensive knowledge of dog training and working with every aspect of a dog. Training with me over a very short period of time will ensure that you have a totally secure, happy, well behaved, trustworthy dog for the rest of its life.

Janet Ardley, my business partner, is also a qualified dog behaviourist and is able to offer help and expertise should your dog need require it.

We look forward to helping you.

Our courses in Bath are structured according to your needs, time and budget. All sessions are exclusively one-to-one, including our comprehensive full-day "trained for life" programme which covers the principles of our entire six-week course in a single day (cost includes six weeks after-care and personal mentoring by Ingrid).

Or discuss with us how a shorter session could answer any training need - such as "behaviour basics", and teaching your pet the commands every dog should know. We can also help reverse behavioural and anti-social problems in dogs - and offer a one-hour training programme to permanently prevent livestock chasing.
