My story
Every dog is different.
So is every plan.
I started the business in 2023. Since then I've trained dogs across Market Harborough, from young puppies to working gundogs, and dogs who find walks hard.
Dogs on Doggy Bootcamp live with me in a structured home environment, and come out every day to train and socialise.
Qualifications
Qualified in canine care and welfare.
I hold an Ofqual regulated Level 2 Award in Canine Care and Welfare, which I achieved in 2023. It covers looking after dogs properly: their health, diet, handling and everyday welfare, and spotting early when something isn't right.
How I train
Fair, clear and consistent.
I use lots of reward and positive reinforcement, alongside clear boundaries and clear communication when they're needed. Training is tailored to your dog, not one rigid method.
Clear boundaries
Calm, clear communication when it's needed, so your dog knows where they stand.
Built around your dog
No one rigid method. Every plan fits your dog, your home and your routine.
You learn too
I show you each step and you try it yourself, so it keeps working when I'm not there.
The dogs
Every shape and size.
Spaniels, Labs, German Shepherds, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Staffies, setters and one very spoiled cockapoo. Every dog gets a plan that fits.
Who I work with
Who I help.
New puppies
Confidence and socialising from the start, ready for formal training at around six months.
Working breeds
Obedience, manners and steadiness, on and off the lead.
Dogs who struggle on the lead
Pulling, or reacting to people and other dogs.
Owners who want to learn
Advice, demonstrations and support between sessions.
In owners' words
What it's like working with Finn.
“We have been using Finn on and off for the last year or so with our working chocolate lab, Oakley. … He is very flexible in training session times and locations and will always strive to fit in around your routine, even offering to come to my workshop to do sessions to help with settling Oakley down when customers come into the office.”
“Thank you so much Finn for teaching me & my stubborn staffie tips & tricks with the ball & on the lead. … If you looking for a patient and calm trainer Finn is your go to.”
“I got Finn to train my yard dog that was a 9 month German Shepard … With in only a couple of sessions he is super obedient and barks on command, highly recommend Finn to any one with big breeds”
