A Complete 8-Week Dog Training Programme
Our Perfect Pet Programme is designed for owners who want more than occasional training lessons. This structured 8-week dog training bootcamp combines weekly sessions, practical workshops, and personalised support to help you build a calmer, happier, and better-behaved dog.
Led by all three experienced trainers at Paws a Minute, this full programme focuses on achievable goals for both dogs and owners. Whether you are struggling with recall, pulling on the lead, reactivity, poor manners at home, or confidence around other dogs, the programme gives you the tools and guidance to make lasting progress.
We use a combination of tailored training tools, including e-collars where appropriate, to support your dog’s learning in a safe and effective way. Off-lead freedom is a major part of our behaviour programme, helping dogs learn to respond reliably while enjoying their independence.
Unlike a traditional dog boot camp boarding service where your dog is sent away, our approach helps owners learn alongside their dogs. This creates better long-term results because the training becomes part of everyday life. If you have been searching for a dog training bootcamp that offers expert support and practical results, this programme is built for you.
You can also explore our full range of professional dog training and pet care services to find the right support for your dog.
Weekly Sessions, Workshops & Real-World Training
The Perfect Pet Programme blends structured group sessions with in-person workshop days to create a balanced and supportive learning environment. Every week focuses on practical skills that owners can continue using at home, on walks, and in busy environments.
Throughout the course, you will work on areas such as:
-
Lead walking and focus
-
Recall and engagement, including off-lead reliability
-
Calm behaviour around distractions
-
Social skills and confidence
-
Dog obedience program foundations
-
Behaviour management techniques
-
Training dog program routines for home life
-
Tailored use of training tools such as e-collars and other aids
Our workshops are designed to give owners hands-on guidance in real situations. This makes the programme ideal for dogs needing additional support with behaviour, confidence, or obedience.
For owners looking for a puppy training programme or puppy boot camp, the course also helps younger dogs develop positive habits early. If you are looking for the best puppy or dog training programmes available locally, our combination of coaching, expert advice, and continued accountability helps set this programme apart.
If you are interested in more immersive support, you can also learn about our residential dog training programmes designed for dogs needing focused one-to-one training.
Support for Reactive & Challenging Behaviour
Many owners searching for a boot camp for aggression and reactivity are often looking for help understanding their dog’s behaviour rather than a ‘one size fits all’ method.
At Paws a Minute, we focus on clear communication, confidence building, and practical behaviour strategies tailored to your dog. Our trainers work closely with owners to help manage difficult situations safely and effectively, including the strategic use of tools like e-collars to reinforce training and encourage off-lead reliability.
The programme may help with:
-
Reactive behaviour on walks
-
Excessive barking or frustration
-
Poor impulse control
-
Nervous or anxious behaviour
-
Overexcitement around dogs or people
-
Confidence and handling skills
​
If you have been considering a dog aggression boot camp, our supportive and structured approach can help you better understand your dog while building calmer behaviour patterns over time. We believe successful dog behaviour programmes should focus on education for both dogs and owners, helping you create long-term improvements rather than temporary fixes.

Ongoing Expert Advice & Private WhatsApp Support
One of the biggest challenges with many dog training courses is knowing what to do between sessions. That is why every owner on the Perfect Pet Programme receives continued support through a private WhatsApp group with direct access to our trainers.
This gives you the opportunity to:
-
Ask questions between sessions
-
Share your progress
-
Receive feedback from trainers
-
Stay motivated throughout the programme
-
Get reassurance when challenges arise
Having access to ongoing support helps owners stay consistent and confident during the course. It also creates a supportive community of dog owners all working towards similar goals.
If you have previously tried dog training lessons online or one-off sessions without seeing consistent progress, this continued support system can make a huge difference in helping you stay on track.
For dogs that also benefit from exercise, stimulation and routine during the week, our premium dog walking services can help support ongoing progress outside of training sessions.
