Hollybarn Dog and Puppy Training Ireland use a much more personal approach to dog or puppy training classes. We specialise in one to one dog training and behaviour sessions in your own home as well as offering comprehensive residential dog and puppy training courses for the more problematic pet.

Our goal at Hollybarn Dog and Puppy Training Ireland is to teach you and your family how to train and interact with your dog so you can have the dog you always wanted. We do this by providing one to one sessions, classes and courses with a qualified dog trainer and animal behaviourist coming to your own home.

Through years of experience, we have found that this method of training is far more effective than the old-fashioned dog and puppy training classes held in either halls or training centres.
