York Dog School trains all breeds of dogs and puppies in obedience. They specialize in stopping bad behaviour, such as pulling on the lead, aggression toward people and dogs, and jumping up at visitors. They also offer particular expertise in training puppies from 8 weeks onward, stopping excessive biting, barking, and helping with toilet training. All training is 1-2-1 at your home. They visit your home, and they will go for a walk with you and your dog or puppy to ensure that you know exactly how to correct bad behaviour and to reward good behaviour. Their distinctive approach yields prompt results, eliminating the need for owners to attend classes. Rob Dye, who has trained dogs for HH Sheika Maitha bint Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the daughter of the ruler of Dubai, exemplifies this method. Rob sourced a Presa Canario from the Canary Islands for Highness and conducted the training in Dubai. His clientele in the United Arab Emirates includes prominent individuals like Mr Rashid Al Bwardy, captain of the renowned Dubai Polo Team, and other residents of Dubai. As a highly qualified trainer, Rob applies the best training methods tailored to each dog's needs and the owner's preferences. Kyle Jordan, a seasoned dog trainer with over a decade of collaboration, has extensive experience working across the country with various breeds. Together, they address obedience training and rectify behavioral issues such as aggression, lead pulling, and incessant barking in dogs of all breeds and ages. They cover York, Harrogate, Ripon, Scarborough, Tadcaster, Selby, and the North Yorkshire area.

YORK DOG SCHOOL REVIEWS
Ruth is very skilled and we would highly recommend. Ruth came for one session with our very young puppy and we were amazed just how quickly the puppy grasped the commands. We have carried on with the training and have a very obedient young puppy. Well spent money and wouldn't go anywhere else.
Ruth spent 90minutes at our home and local village with our dog, Nell and was completely brilliant and giving us digestible, effective and reproducible advice and tips to have a happy and obedient dog. We would thoroughly recommend York Dog School and Ruth! Thank you! Nick and Jess (and Nell).
Amazing work from Ruth, saw a massive difference with my dog within the first half hour and can’t wait to further improvements. We will definitely be using Ruth again and would highly recommend. Thank you again!.

4 POSITIVE PAWS REVIEWS
Carrie was living in Ireland and although very affectionate to people, was no longer wanted. She was taken to the pound, where she had seven days to live unless someone rescued her. Fortunately, on her last day, she was offered a space at a Welsh rescue centre. I saw her on their website and drove the 600 mile round trip to adopt her as a companion to my older black Labrador. She arrived in Yorkshire un-housetrained, in season, with kennel cough and lacking any basic skills whatsoever. She was also aggressive to all other dogs, probably because she had been left outside all her life and hadn't been socialised. I immediately contacted 4 Positive Paws for some professional advice and joined their training class and agility sessions, to teach her new skills, to socialise her, and above all to give her the fun that she clearly had not had all her life. She has improved amazingly and now has several good doggie friends, and the help and patience of all involved in her 'core group' at 4 Positive Paws has given her the new start she deserved.
Many thanks to Belinda and Jim for getting Roxy's training off to a flying start. I took the option of a 'one 2 one' prior to the 6 week puppy training course. This provided me with a revelation in terms of handling Roxy, how to gain her attention and what to expect from her. The results were amazing, in only minutes she was mastering many basic commands, and from there on in I knew of her capabilities. It also gave me great tips on how to handle 'puppy' exuberance, biting and so on. We both enjoyed the 6 week course which followed enormously, during that time we were able to build on Roxy's training in a fun and relaxed way. I would highly recommend the 'one 2 one' though as a starting point with a new pup (and a novice owner!). Belinda and Jim are a professional duo, whilst being approachable and good fun, you can see that they simply love what they do!.
Just wanted to thank you very much for the puppy training classes. I really enjoyed each class and Roy and I learnt a lot!.
