Day Training

Day Training with ASCENDK9 is an intensive, personalised day of training with the trainer, focused entirely on your dog’s unique needs.

Over a full 6-hour day (9 AM–3 PM), your dog receives a tailored mix of formal training, behaviour proofing, enrichment, adventure walks, and rest periods, all designed to build confidence, reliability, and engagement.

Each Day Train session is for one dog at a time, ensuring your dog receives full attention and supervision in a calm, controlled environment for the whole period.

At the end of the day, you’ll receive a written breakdown of what was covered and clear guidance for ongoing training at home, helping your dog continue to progress.

Day Training is ideal for owners who want intensive, structured learning and real results in a premium, personalised setting.

Day Training is available at my discretion to existing clients whose dogs meet the following requirements:

• Private lesson within the last 4 weeks – this ensures your dog’s training is up to date and that we can build on established progress.

• Fully crate trained – dogs must be comfortable settling in a crate for travel and rest periods. We use crash-tested DT box crates to prioritise safety during transport and throughout the day.

• Physically and mentally fit for a full-day session – dogs should be healthy, vaccinated, and free from contagious conditions.

If Day Training is agreed to be beneficial for your dog, we can tailor the session to their individual needs, focusing on intensive, safe, and structured training.

Day Training is £125 per 6-hour session, providing an intensive, personalised day of training and enrichment with Becky, the trainer.

This isn’t just daycare - it’s one-on-one, focused learning tailored to your dog’s unique goals, including:

• Formal training sessions to reinforce obedience and reliability

• Behaviour proofing and environmental exposure in real-life situations

• Adventure walks and enrichment activities to challenge your dog mentally and physically

• Settle training and rest periods to build calmness and self-regulation

At the end of the day train, you’ll receive a written breakdown of what we covered and actionable guidance to continue your dog’s progress at home.

Your dog’s 6-hour Day Training session is tailored to their individual goals, and may include a mix of the following:

• Walks and play sessions to help settle, bond, and build engagement with the trainer

• Short trips to specific environments (e.g., high street, busy park) for exposure, confidence building, and real-life engagement work

• Settle and place training around distractions to reinforce calm behaviour

• Play sessions and enrichment activities to stimulate your dog mentally and physically

• Training in public spaces such as shops or coffee shops to proof reliability in realistic environments

• Adventure walks in forests, woods, or rural locations for exploration, confidence, and enrichment

• Behaviour proofing of existing skills or introduction of new behaviours

• E-collar conditioning for known behaviours as part of ongoing e-collar training with the trainer

• Desensitisation to handling and cooperative care work to improve vet, groomer, and owner handling

• Activities to build or enhance food and toy drive, encouraging motivation and engagement

• Impulse control and self-regulation exercises, teaching patience and calm focus in various scenarios

• Problem-solving and cognitive enrichment games to challenge your dog mentally

• Confidence-building exercises such as navigating unusual surfaces, obstacles, or novel environments

Rest periods are built in throughout the day to allow your dog to relax, recover, and consolidate learning.

These breaks are also essential for maintaining focus, reducing stress, and ensuring your dog gets the most out of every training activity.

Each activity is conducted in a safe, structured, and personalised way, ensuring your dog gains real progress, enrichment, and practical skills that you can continue at home.
