Took our XLBully to work with Big Dog Fellas, he had become a nightmare to walk. Pulling here there and everywhere. Triggered by other dogs and animals. Honestly I went here hoping for the best but expecting little. I was wrong with perseverance and some out of the box training our dog is much happier and safer on his walks as we can now take him anywhere. We are in control and setting the pace and agenda thank you so much.
Molly, our female Staffordshire Bull Terrier was snapping at our older Patterdale around food, toys etc. Mudge did a home visit and spent time observing our dogs and taught us some verbal commands and long line training. The difference was immediate! I had lost all confidence in the house and everyone, including the dogs and now so much more relaxed and happy. Can’t recommend enough, a true miracle worker!
Mudge is a gentleman, very helpful and knowledgeable. We thought our dog (2 yo red dachshund) Haggis wasn’t going to play ball but mudge had a plan b and c and we got there with Haggis. Massive improvement on walks, went from being people and dog reactive to ignoring distractions and paying attention to the handler. also working on barking in house/garden which Mudge gave us tips for. Thanks mate 👍

With Big Dog Fellas, you’re not just getting a training class—you’re joining a community dedicated to helping you and your dog succeed.
Our training focuses on structured recall exercises that gradually increase in difficulty and distractions. We use positive reinforcement alongside controlled corrections, long-line training leads, and real-world scenarios to ensure your dog responds reliably. Through consistency and trust-building, dogs learn to return promptly when called, even in distracting environments.
Yes! Our junior dog handling classes teach loose-lead walking techniques to prevent pulling. We use structured exercises, rewards for proper positioning, and balanced training methods, ensuring a more enjoyable and stress-free walking experience for both dog and owner.
Our training addresses common issues such as reactivity, excessive barking, separation anxiety, and impulsive behaviours like jumping and chewing. We use structured training to teach impulse control, confidence-building, and real-world obedience. These techniques help dogs develop better social behaviour and adapt calmly to different environments.
Our training approach is balanced—we use a combination of positive reinforcement and necessary corrections to guide behaviour. We focus on structured exercises, behavioural modification, and confidence-building techniques to ensure well-rounded obedience and manners.
Unlike traditional puppy socialisation, which often involves group classes, our training focuses on controlled real-world exposure, ensuring your dog remains socially sound in all environments. We help dogs navigate social situations appropriately, reinforcing positive behaviours and reducing anxiety in new environments.
Success rates vary depending on the dog’s temperament, previous training, and owner commitment. However, most dogs show noticeable improvements within a few weeks. With consistent at-home practice and full participation in training sessions, dogs develop strong obedience skills and behavioural improvements that lead to lasting positive changes.
Results depend on the dog’s breed, temperament, and training history. Many dogs show significant progress within the first few sessions, but full mastery of obedience and behavioural correction typically takes 4-8 weeks. Regular practice and reinforcement at home are essential for long-term success.
For the first session, bring a sturdy lead, high-value treats, a training toy, and proof of vaccinations. If your dog pulls, a no-pull harness is recommended for better control. Additionally, bring water and a positive attitude, as training is most effective with patience and consistency.
Yes, we provide private obedience training sessions for dogs that need personalised attention. This is ideal for dogs with anxiety, aggression, or specific behavioural challenges.
