The current epidemic of dogs in need of homes is worsening, with limited space at rescues leaving many dogs stuck in stressful kennel environments. Unfortunately, this often leads to behavioral issues that go unaddressed, causing dogs to remain in shelters for years before finding a new home. Recognizing the need for change, we decided to do things differently.
Our experienced team of dog trainers works with owners who can no longer care for their dogs. We take in these dogs, address their behavioral challenges, and find them loving new homes. We offer flexible options, such as Foster and Train or Residential Rehome, to ensure each dog receives the best chance for success.
This service provides peace of mind to owners, knowing their beloved dog is being set up for a happy, fulfilling life rather than languishing in a stressful shelter environment
Rex is a goofy Labrador looking for a home.
He will need structure both in and out of the home, he can sometimes be reactive although he is learning how to be a gentleman in the real world.
He loves to play, run around and live his best life. He's looking for an active home, he can live with a well balanced female dog with the correct introductions and structure.
Goose is a sweet boy with a high level of food drive and handler focus, he is enthusiastic in everything he does!
He would thrive in a range of activities and picks things up veru quickly, however he is equally happy relaxing and doesnt need large amounts of exercise to be fulfilled.
Isla is a medium sized 2 year old Romanian rescue dog.
Isla has been under our care for a few weeks now and is gaining confidence and now takes food when we're outside. Our curent focus is building a good relationship and a clear marker system. We're also working on engagement, recall and lead manners.
Isla is cautious of strangers, but once she gets to know you, her personality shines through - she really is the sweetest thing (with the biggest ears!)
Although Bruno can be initially nervous he opens up quickly; he loves people and will greet everyone he can with a big wiggle. He’s very neutral to dogs within the pack and can settle around other calm dogs in the house and on walks; although, he can struggle passing unknown dogs in public and high arousal dog interactions (this is where he can be a bite risk). Generally outside he is very chill and happy to plod along with you, unless he spots a squirrel and will attempt to show you his singing voice.
He’s currently working on general engagement and recall outside around strange dogs and in high prey areas. We are building on his lead walking which is already pretty good but giving him boundaries to help when passing other dogs as well as in higher states of arousal. In the home he is working on settling away from people; he is already an absolute angel at taking himself to sleep next to you on the sofa.
Margo is just over a year old. She settles well in and out of a crate, loves people and gets on well with other dogs, is great in the car /van.
Margo does have a high prey drive so dogs smaller than her & cats/ smaller animals are a trigger - which she will chase. Also the same with young children but easily corrected and stops.
She has a super high food drive and loves training!
She absolutely loves a cuddle on the sofa too!

Very very ignorant towards other dogs, she will live great with other neutral dogs however does not tolerate smaller dogs / high energy dogs in her face / annoying her.

Meet Pumpkin, a lively and affectionate Patterdale Terrier with plenty of personality. Like a typical terrier, she adores cuddles, enjoys her food, and is always up for some playtime with her favorite toys. She’s crate trained and perfectly content being left alone for a couple of hours—or even longer if needed—without any fuss.
Best Suited Home:
Pumpkin would thrive in a one-dog household. While she can peacefully coexist with another dog in the home, she prefers her own space and independence. On walks, she’s happy to do her own thing, strolling calmly beside other dogs but not interested in engaging with them. She’s tolerant of dogs nearby, as long as they respect her space, but she isn’t a fan of dogs that get in her face.
Training Needs:
Pumpkin doesn’t show signs of separation anxiety, but she does have a habit of barking or grabbing and shaking her bed when left. This is likely a learned behavior from her previous home. To work on this, it’s recommended to keep her on a lead when practicing leaving the house. While she won’t display this behavior when wearing an e-collar, it’s important to teach her not to rely on it.
When it comes to other dogs, Pumpkin can be unpredictable. For safety, she should be kept muzzled around unfamiliar dogs until you’re fully confident in her behavior. However, given her unpredictable nature, any decision to remove the muzzle should be made cautiously and at your own risk.
Pumpkin is a smart, loving girl with a big heart who will thrive in the right home. With consistent training, patience, and plenty of love, she’ll make a loyal and wonderful companion.
