# Canine Training Group

Canine Training Group is a dog training business based in Oakham, Rutland, Leicestershire, dedicated to building strong, positive relationships between dogs and their owners. The team specialises in force-free, play-based training methods that leverage dogs' natural learning preferences rather than aversive techniques.

The business serves dog owners across the region who want professional guidance to address behavioural challenges, develop good manners, or start their puppies off on the right foundation. They work with dogs of all ages and experience levels, from new puppy owners seeking structured guidance to owners managing adult dogs with specific training needs.

What sets CTG apart is their philosophy of putting the dog first. Rather than imposing generic training protocols, they prioritise each dog's individual personality, learning style and wellbeing. Their "training through play" approach recognises that dogs learn most effectively when engaged, motivated and having fun—creating sustainable behaviour change without stress or fear. This philosophy extends to their bespoke Board and Train programme, where dogs stay with trainers for intensive, customised development in a supportive environment.

The business offers flexibility in service delivery, from hourly one-to-one sessions perfect for targeted problem-solving, to their structured five-session Puppy Package designed to give young dogs the best start. Their commitment to relationship-building over quick fixes appeals to owners who view dog training as an investment in long-term harmony and mutual understanding.
