If you’ve ever wished your dog could spend the day with a professional trainer, working on real-life skills in real-world environments, ASCENDK9 is excited to announce the launch of our new Day Training service in Harlow, Essex.

This premium, fully tailored service allows your dog to spend six structured hours with a qualified trainer, building confidence, engagement, obedience and real-life reliability - all designed around their individual progress and goals.

Whether your dog struggles with focus outdoors, needs help with loose lead walking, reactivity, engagement, recall, neutrality or settling in busy environments, Day Training provides highly focused, hands-on practice that accelerates results.

What Is Day Training?

Day Training sits between private 1–1 sessions and board & train, offering owners all the benefits of professional, real-world training without leaving their dog for extended periods.

Your dog spends the day with me - a fully insured trainer with a certificate in canine first aid - working in a variety of environments to strengthen behaviour, improve obedience and build confidence.

This service is ideal for owners looking for:

Real life dog training in Harlow
Help with obedience, engagement, focus and manners
Social neutrality around dogs and people
Proofing behaviours around distractions
Tailored training with professional guidance

Your Dog’s Day: What to Expect

09:00 Morning drop-off & settling walk (Latton Bush Recreation Grounds, Harlow)

Your dog’s day begins when you drop them off at Latton Bush Recreation Grounds in Harlow. We start with a relaxed walk and some play to build engagement, create a positive mindset and set them up for a successful day of learning.

Safe, comfortable travel in crash-tested dog boxes

We’ll then load up into the van, where your dog travels in secure, crash-tested DT Dog Boxes fitted with soft veterinary bedding for maximum comfort. Travel between locations is short - around 20 minutes - and your dog is the only client dog with me that day, meaning no long periods crated and no waiting around.

Quiet location training: building skills & engagement

For many dogs, we begin in a quieter environment. This allows us to focus on the foundational behaviours you’d like to improve, such as:

Loose lead walking
Focus around distractions
Basic cues (sit, down, stay, recall, place)
Neutrality around people or dogs from a distance
Building engagement outdoors

This gentle start helps your dog build confidence before we move on to more challenging environments.

Real life training: high streets, shopping centres & busy environments

Once your dog is ready, we head somewhere busier - such as a high street, retail park or shopping area - to proof behaviours in real-world settings.

This helps your dog learn to:

Stay calm around crowds
Walk nicely past dogs, people and prams
Focus despite noise or movement
Settle in public places
Generalise training skills beyond your home

This step is often where owners see the biggest transformation.

Afternoon adventure walk: decompress & practise skills

Mid-afternoon, we head out for an adventure walk somewhere beautiful and open, such as:

Hatfield Forest
Panshanger Park
Epping Forest

Here your dog gets to decompress, explore, enjoy enrichment and practise skills like recall, engagement and loose lead walking using a long line or flexi lead depending on their training level.

This balance of structure + freedom helps prevent overstimulation and supports a calmer mindset.

Final training stop: settling in public

To finish the day, we’ll stop at a garden centre or coffee shop to practise settling in a public space.

For dogs who find this challenging, we work at a distance first and gradually help them build the calm confidence needed to settle in cafés, pubs or busy indoor environments. Over multiple Day Training sessions, this becomes a reliable habit.

15:00 End-of-day handover & tailored summary

We meet you back at the original drop-off location for a full verbal debrief on what we covered. Later that day, you receive a written summary with:

Progress notes
Behaviours practiced
Wins & challenges
Personalised guidance for continuing the work at home

This ensures training remains consistent and effective, long after the session ends.
