Fresh Start dog training HQ is more than just a training venue. It’s a peaceful, secure space where both dogs and owners can relax, learn and enjoy training without the distractions and pressures often found in busy public parks.
This isn’t just a secure field. Over the years I’ve developed it into a dedicated dog training venue with permanent agility equipment, space for scent work, puppy training, reactive dog sessions and one-to-one coaching.
