# Progressive Dog Obedience and Behaviour
Progressive Dog Obedience and Behaviour is a dog training business based in Guildford that specialises in relationship-driven obedience training and behavioural coaching for dogs of all sizes. Rather than relying on conventional reward-based methods, the business takes a distinctive approach rooted in parenting education and building genuine rapport between owner and dog.
The business serves dog owners across all experience levels, from those starting with puppies who want to establish good foundations, through owners of adolescent dogs exhibiting challenging behaviours, to those with adult dogs requiring behavioural improvement. Their classes span beginner through to advanced levels, with occasional specialised puppy and teenage dog groups.
What sets Progressive Dog Obedience and Behaviour apart is their philosophical commitment to eliminating treats, toys, and clickers from training entirely. Instead, they emphasise that relationship supersedes resource, teaching owners that competent parenting and trust form the bedrock of effective obedience. This approach recognises that dogs depend on humans for their welfare and well-being, deserving responsible, skilled guardianship.
The training integrates obedience instruction with genuine behavioural understanding, moving beyond simply teaching exercises to developing responsive behaviour grounded in a strong human-canine bond. Rather than quick fixes, they guide owners towards understanding their responsibility in their dog's learning journey, creating lasting positive change.
