Top 5 Dog Trainers in Causewayhead

We visited for the first time today and were VERY impressed by how clean and well maintained this park is, and the facilities provided for both dogs and humans (water, a bench, a shelter, bins for general waste and dog poo, and agility equipment). The surroundings are beautiful and the field is larger than we expected, and more than big enough for the saluki we were with to do full-on zoomies! The wooded areas provide welcome shade on a warm day, and it was nice to see that you have planted new trees which will enhance the area in years to come. You've thought of everything! Thank you for providing this lovely, safe space.

Has agility equipment, clean and tidy, and two picnic tables (one under cover which is good in Scotland!). Has water for the dogs too and a tall grass/tree area to do scent work or hide and seek games. Will definitely be back.

Visited to break up a long drive. We've used lots of dog fields and we really loved this one. Great secure parking spot. Medium sized and was bone dry when I visited on a sunny day. My dogs loved the wild area around the trees and reed bed. The scenery around the field is beautiful. You can hear road noise but it doesn't detract. The fence is very secure and about 8 feet tall. Perfect as there are lots of wild life scent around and my high prey drive dog was looking for an escape route. If you have a very good houdini, watch out for the pile of sleepers near the entrance.

Best dog park in the area hands down!

Great views of the harbour and town

We have a 2 yer old rescue springer that came with some issues. We contatcted SDBC and had a home visit from Scott - who clearly knows his stuff. He manged to get Leo walking on a loose lead outside our garden - which I thought I would never see. Ann's training videos are a fantastic resource. Leo is a work in progress, but now we have the tools and tips to help bring out the wonderful dog he can be

Scott was so helpful when he came to visit me and my dog who had been displaying signs of aggressive behaviour. The way he explained the reasons for the behaviour and the selection of training exercises he showed me was so helpful.

We reached out to SBDC after adopting Oakley, our Springador and needing some help with some behaviours and general training. Scott came out to the house for our 1-2-1 and gave us some tips and games to work on with Oakley to begin helping him. He also took a thorough background of Oakley in order to fully understand what we were looking for help with and so he was able to get to know Oakley. Scott then suggested a class for Oakley to attend. Oakley has been to class twice now and absolutely loves it. We can’t believe the difference in his behaviour already, he’s like a different dog. We can’t wait to continue seeing his progress and continuing his journey with SBDC.

I got my German shepherd when she was 12 weeks old. I got an induction here the following week. From there on she attended once a week. Sometimes a bit more. I personally struggle to be away from my dog, she’s never left alone for any more than a few hours. I never had lots of money to spend on training either. But grew up with German Shepherds so had that knowledge of the hard work it is. This school is ideal for us, as you can tell all the workers adore the dogs. So for me the peace of mind is important more than anything. Watching the dogs eagerly go in, it actually reminds me of Christmas Day. My dog loves going there, infact she doesn’t like going in cars. But if I tell her she’s going to the puppy school as I call it. She jumps in quickly and is so excited and happy. I believe my dog attending there for last 17 months has helped with training even though it’s just daycare. We moved house and on walks she sometimes meets other dogs in her school. The breed itself love company and socialising. This has helped her along to become the amazing dog she is. It’s a good routine for her. It works out £28 for a full day but this isn’t too much more than your standard dog walking service which is usually only 1 hour. I liked the way they care for my dog in the hot weather, as they put a cooling coat on her. They also have the doggy pools and they post pictures and videos of the dogs which is reassuring for me. The entrance in the car park was not good but that has been done up, there is also a shop you can buy treats, food toys and accessories. They are all good standard. The advisers know a lot about dogs so this knowledge comes in handy if you have a particular question etc. I’d recommend this service as it’s from 730 am until 6pm. The dogs are very well looked after. It’s all very secure and safe.

Great training, highly recommend

Excellent teaching. We have taken all 3 of our dogs there and would definitely recommend.
