How it works (simple + structured)
This is the system that builds calm behaviour first, then reliability, then freedom.
Assessment
We identify the real drivers of behaviour and choose the right intensity.
Foundations
Engagement, structure, boundaries, obedience basics, calm state.
Behaviour change
Neutrality around triggers, impulse control, reliable decision-making.
Owner transfer
Weekly handovers + homework so results hold at home.
Training focus (built for real life)
We use real environments and controlled setups to build reliability — not “perfect training on a quiet field”.
- Confidence building & socialisation
- Neutrality around distractions
- Engagement, focus & motivation
- Sit / Down / Stay (distance control)
- Loose-lead walking / calm heel
- Recall as a priority
- Real-world manners on & off lead
- Calmness + switching arousal on/off
- Rules, boundaries & impulse control
- Structured play as a relationship tool
Recent wins (real dogs • real change)
These aren’t “a little better”. These are the kind of transformations where people comment saying they can’t believe it’s the same dog.
If you want proof beyond video, I’m happy to connect you with clients so you can hear outcomes first-hand.
Board & Train vs One-to-Ones (straight truth)
One-to-ones can be great — but they’re slower because progress relies on owners replicating timing, consistency, and decision-making perfectly at home. Most people can’t do that at first (and that’s normal).
Board & Train is most certainly better for the majority of dogs with behavioural issues — because your dog gets professional consistency, daily structure, and coaching that pivots immediately when problems arise.
Cost-wise, it’s a fair comparison: 50 weekly one-to-ones at £60/hour = £3,000 over a year — and that’s before you factor in your travel time, fuel, and the value of your own time. The 4-week intensive is £3,000 total, with faster progress and more stable outcomes because your dog gets professional consistency.
FAQs
Is Day Board & Train better than weekly one-to-ones?
Yes — in most cases it’s clearly better. Behaviour change requires consistency and correct timing. With Board & Train your dog gets professional coaching every training day, so progress is faster, more stable, and you avoid constant backtracking.
What package should I choose?
If your dog has behavioural issues (reactivity, chasing, over-arousal, poor recall), the 4-week intensive is the strongest option. If you’re building foundations and routine, the 5 days/week (1 hour/day) package is a great starting point.
Do I get handovers and support?
Yes — weekly handovers, clear homework steps, and WhatsApp support are included. You’ll know exactly what to do so the results hold at home.
When is Residential Board & Train available?
It’s being added shortly. If you want residential, enquire now and I’ll prioritise you for the first available slots.

Precision K9 — Where connection meets control
“Honestly, we can’t really put into words how much Luke has changed our lives with Spicy Bruce, the giant puppy!
He was wild and had absolutely no manners. When we came to Luke, he had nothing but time for us. He made us feel completely comfortable asking questions – and we had a lot of them!
Luke has an incredible depth of knowledge when it comes to dog training. He always puts the dogs first.
For anyone who is serious about making their dog the best companion possible, Luke at Precision K9 Dog Training is the one to choose!!
Bruce has loved every second of it and will continue to do so, as Luke guides us in giving Bruce the best life ever! 🐾”
