Welcome to Dog Training Weekly
Dog training is not just for those with ambitions in competitive sports or advanced activities – it is an essential part of life for every dog and their owner. Whether you share your home with a lively puppy, a rescue dog finding their way, or a seasoned companion, training provides the foundation for a happy, balanced relationship.
Why Training Matters
Training is far more than teaching a dog to “sit” or “stay.” At its heart, it gives dogs the skills they need to live confidently and safely in our world, and it gives owners the tools to guide and understand their companions. A well-trained dog is easier to live with, less likely to develop behavioural problems, and better equipped to cope with the challenges of everyday life.
​
Mental Stimulation and Happiness
Most dogs were originally bred to do a job – herding, guarding, retrieving, or hunting – and they still carry that drive and energy today. While many modern dogs no longer have those working roles, they still need an outlet for their natural instincts. Training provides mental stimulation, which is just as important as physical exercise. It keeps dogs engaged, reduces boredom, and prevents frustration. A dog that has something meaningful to do is a dog that is calmer, more confident, and ultimately happier.
More Than Just Obedience
Training does not need to mean rigid obedience or competition preparation. Simple, positive exercises woven into daily life can make a huge difference to your dog’s wellbeing. From basic manners to fun tricks, every training session strengthens the bond between you and your dog. It’s an opportunity to communicate, build trust, and share enjoyment – things that matter just as much as results in the competition ring.
Our Mission
At Dog Training Weekly, we are passionate about helping owners of all backgrounds and experience levels. Whether your goal is to enjoy a polite and relaxed pet at home, explore a new activity such as Obedience or HTM, or simply understand your dog better, we are here to guide you. Every dog deserves the chance to learn, to be mentally stimulated, and to thrive – and every owner deserves the knowledge and support to make that possible.
