“We attended the German Shepherd Bootcamp which was run by James, and it was brilliant. He helped us enormously with a couple of problems our dog had, and his knowledge and expertise were fantastic, and our dog has progressed terrifically. Really couldn’t be more satisfied”

NEW! German Shepherd Bootcamp – As a Private 1-to-1 Workshop
Looking for expert German Shepherd training without the commitment of weekly classes? Our new Private 1-to-1 German Shepherd Bootcamp Workshop has been designed for owners who want focused, personalised training in a flexible format.
This intensive 3-hour private workshop is a tailored version of our popular German Shepherd Bootcamp, giving you and your dog dedicated one-to-one coaching.
Perfect for owners travelling from further afield or those with busy schedules, this workshop allows you to achieve real progress in a 3 hour workshop. Whether you’re struggling with lead pulling, poor recall, over-excitement, engagement, or general obedience, the session is fully customised to your individual goals and your dog’s temperament.
Our private German Shepherd workshop is particularly suited to:
- Owners who can’t commit to weekly training classes
- Clients travelling long distances for professional German Shepherd training
- Dogs who become reactive, anxious, or overstimulated around other dogs
- Owners who prefer private, focused coaching
- Young, excitable German Shepherds who learn better on a 121 basis
- Handlers looking for faster progress with tailored guidance
What To Expect
During your 3-hour intensive workshop, we’ll focus on the areas that matter most to you and your dog. With expert guidance and practical exercises, you’ll learn how to build better communication, improve obedience, and develop calmer, more reliable behaviour both at home and out in the real world.
Because this is a completely private session, training can progress at a pace that suits both you and your dog.
The Benefits of 1-to-1 German Shepherd Training
German Shepherds are intelligent, powerful working dogs that thrive with clear guidance and structured training. A private workshop allows us to work closely with you to address behavioural challenges directly, without the pressure or distractions of a busy group setting.
This personalised approach often helps owners feel more confident handling issues such as:
- Reactivity towards dogs or people
- Excessive excitement and lack of focus
- Loose lead walking (without pulling)
- Recall training (coming back to you off lead)
- Confidence building (for nervous dogs)
- Impulse control
- General obedience and paying attention to you not distractions

Socialisation is essential for your dog’s growth and happiness.
German Shepherds are naturally social animals and thrive when they interact with others. Puppies and young dogs pick up valuable skills during these group meetups—observing, listening, and learning from their peers. Older dogs benefit too! Social gatherings add excitement and mental stimulation, helping them stay active, youthful, and fit. Plus, they get the chance to guide the younger ones on proper behavior.
For many dogs, meeting up with their friends is the highlight of the day. So, join the fun and let your dog enjoy being the happy, sociable companion they’re meant to be!
- Main Play Sessions are for 9 Months old +
- For under 9 months old please join our Puppy Party Play Sessions for under 12 months old
NOTE only friendly and sociable dogs are welcome. No more than 2 dogs per handler allowed. If you are not sure if your dog is sociable or not please book a socialisation assessment with us.
