School for Dogs
Devon’s Premier Stay, Play & Train Experience!
Welcome to Devon’s only School for Dogs! Located in the heart of Whimple, our school offers more than just daycare. Just like children, young dogs thrive on continued learning. While exercise and socialization are vital, we believe in the power of structured training to keep your dog’s mind sharp and their behavior balanced.

“I needed help with a rescue Doberman, who had been attacked only 6 months after adoption. He became lead reactive and as an owner, I needed guidance and training in order to improve both our lives!
Kerry from Connect Behaviour provided 1:1 training at our home. We worked on his relationship with other dogs, understanding body language in dogs and giving me and him the confidence to be able to enjoy walks again.
We also worked on relaxed lead walking and tips on how to manage different situations. Chester is now a happy confident dog and we even were able to sit in a pub garden next to other dogs and have him relax!
I would highly recommend Kerry and her team at Connect Behaviour.“
FAQ’s
Is my dog too old for training?
Never, a dog is never too old for training, the same as it is never for us humans to learn and enjoy something new!
We work with dogs aged from 8 weeks old to 8 years old (PLUS), including rescue dogs and overseas rescues, you might have heard the expression “you can’t teach old dogs new tricks” we are here to prove to you that this is definitely incorrect!!
Should I book 1:1 or Group Classes?
1-2 -1’s are tailored to you and your dog as individuals. During a 1-2-1 we can work on specific areas of training that you would like to work on such as loose lead walk, recall, obedience training, help with a behaviour issue like dog to dog aggression, reactivity or anxiety.
Can you support me with more than one dog?
Of course! Your sessions are yours to use how you wish to use them 😊
Where does the training take place?
We can come to you or we are happy to meet you at one of our training locations.
It can be varied from meeting you at home, great if you have any issues around the house, or we can accompany you on your daily walk, wherever that may be, this can include places that are more distracting or less distracting areas.
