# Yellowtail Dog Training

Yellowtail Dog Training is a science-based dog training business serving Walthamstow, North London, East London, and the wider Epping Forest area including Loughton. Founded on principles of positive reinforcement and emotional awareness, they specialise in helping puppies and young dogs develop calm, confident behaviour through structured, supportive guidance.

The business distinguishes itself through a thoughtful, psychology-led approach that prioritises a dog's emotional state alongside obedience. Rather than pursuing quick fixes or perfect commands, they focus on building genuine confidence and resilience in real-world situations. This philosophy extends to their owners too—the training is designed to be practical and achievable in daily life, not just within class settings.

Their flagship offering is the Puppy Foundation Course, a four-week structured programme covering engagement, recall foundations, loose lead walking, calm behaviour around distractions, handling skills, and play-based motivation. Sessions are deliberately kept small to maintain a calm environment.

Beyond puppywork, they offer behavioural consultations for dogs with specific challenges, advanced training for dogs ready for more complex skills, and both group classes and one-to-one sessions tailored to individual needs. Their clear positioning attracts thoughtful dog owners seeking evidence-based training rather than aversive methods, with pricing kept accessible at £100 for a full four-week course.
