General dog Obedience That Supports Real-Life Living

Obedience won’t fix behaviour on its own, but it makes a big difference. It helps your dog understand how to respond in different situations and gives you a standard to hold them to. This isn’t about drilling commands for the sake of it.

It’s about making sure your dog knows what’s expected and can hold it together when it counts. Most dogs enjoy the work when it’s taught well, and it gives you both something solid to work from.

dog Obedience That Builds Engagement

Obedience starts with your dog learning to stay involved not just responding when it suits them. Whether it’s positions, stillness, or listening around distractions, this work teaches your dog to stay switched on. It’s not about performance, it’s about responses that actually hold up.

The Role of dog Obedience in Everyday Handling

Obedience supports everything else you do with your dog. It improves how they respond in different environments and gives you something reliable to work from. When expectations are clear and consistent, outcomes become more predictable—which is often what makes things feel less stressful. You’re not left guessing, and neither is your dog.

dog Obedience That Carries Over into Real Life

This training isn’t just about what your dog can do during a session. We focus on making obedience useful in real situations with distractions, pressure, and everyday demands. You’ll learn how to raise the standard and make sure it lasts beyond the moment.

Contacted Angela for a anxious dog issue , she has been great her training is helping my dog be able to be left alone without chewing furniture
Our dog Iris stayed with Angela whilst we were on holiday. The updates were regular and Iris looked like she was having the time of her life! She enjoyed Angela’s dogs Ivy and Maisey’s company and she came home super happy! Angela not only boarded but also trained alongside and helped improve Iris’ training and skills. I couldn’t fault the communication of the handovers and drop offs and the regular updates and pictures really put us at ease. We also came home to a domestic emergency with our house, Angela happily kept Iris for an extra night and it was no bother to her at all. We can’t wait to use Angela’s boarding again and I’m sure Iris would say the same if she could talk!🤣
We’ve had an exceptional experience with Angela at Turner Dog Training. Her expertise in handling our lively Vizsla, Sophie, was evident in the remarkable progress we made with engagement, lead walking and obedience.

In addition, Angela's careful guidance helping us introduce an e-collar as an extra tool to help us deal specifically with severe reactivity showcased her professionalism and dedication. The thorough and gentle conditioning phase, under Angela's guidance, has yielded fantastic results. Our relationship with our dog Sophie has blossomed, and we now getting back to enjoying normal dog walks with newfound ease.

Angela's overnight home-boarding services were equally outstanding – Sophie felt at home, and her return from a week-long holiday with Angela was marked by a surprising calmness in our usually anxious dog. Angela kept us regularly updated with texts and fabulous photos of Sophie during her stay.

We are sincerely grateful to Angela for her invaluable assistance, and we wholeheartedly recommend her services to any dog owner seeking skilled and compassionate training. Angela's expertise and genuine care make Turner Dog Training a top choice for transforming the relationship with your furry friend.

This was the first ever night Bleu has stayed out without me or my partner I was really nervous about leaving her however, Angela made everything so much easier I knew bleu would be in the best hands, I got pupdates and pictures which I loved seing her face ❤️ appreciate all the time and effort Angela put into bleu she is still tired today would definitely recommend
We used the home boarding service for our dog Maggie for 10 days during the summer holidays. Angela sent us daily updates and did some additional training. We were apprehensive about leaving maggie but she loved the experience and we will definitely use Angela for our next holiday.
Angela is amazing! So good with Roxie and made our wedding day so special by bringing her in. Couldn’t recommend enough
Angela really is fantastic at what she does, she is so passionate about dogs & truly puts your pet first!
We required puppy visits for our boy Harris, Angela was amazing from the start; she done an initial visit with Harris to make sure they bonded & so that we could see how professional and qualified she is, she took control of the situation by providing us with all info we needed as well as even demonstrating some training. We’re 1st time dog owners so were very nervous about having a stranger take care of our boy & enter our home 5 days a week but Angela settled these nerves so quickly with consistent pics/video updates, we truly trusted she had Harris’ best interest at heart. She is so on the ball with noticing when things aren’t right; she managed to recognise an injury that Harris had developed, and stayed with him until we got home & on another occasion was also quick to remove a Tick from his face when she found it! Angela gave us some great training advice throughout & was always happy to have a chat when we crossed paths on her visits. Overall an amazing dog walker/trainer that has set the bar very high for us in the future! We’d recommend Angela to anyone & will definitely use her boarding/training classes in the future. Good luck in your new venture Angela, we’ll miss you! ☺️ x
