At Hollybarn Dog Training and Behaviour, our aim is to help you and your family understand, communicate with, and train your dog or puppy, so you can build the happy, well-behaved relationship you have always wanted.
We provide individually tailored training and behaviour sessions designed around your dog, your family and your specific needs. Sessions take place in the environment where they can have the greatest impact — your own home, where you, your family and your dog interact every day.
We believe that training is most effective when the whole family gets involved. The more family members who understand and participate in the training, the more consistent and successful it becomes — and this is especially important for children.
Our goal is to give every member of your family the knowledge, confidence and practical skills they need to enjoy a positive and rewarding relationship with your dog.

We teach you to understand your dogs behaviour and why your dog or puppy does what it does. This makes addressing and fixing any problems much easier.
It's easier to learn a new skill whilst you're enjoying yourself. So be prepared to have fun filled and informative time when you book a dog training session with our dog trainer.
You'll be amazed the difference a little help and guidance from a qualified, professional dog trainer can make.
Remember - It's important for you and your family to have fun when Training your Dog or Puppy.

You "can" teach old dog's new tricks as well as new dog's old tricks - Don't believe anyone who says you can't.
Every relationship between us and our dogs is unique. Just like us every dog is different, with their own characters, personalities, problems, and issues.
Our dog training sessions are crammed full of training and behavioural tips to help you achieve your goals.

None of our dog training techniques use food or treats as the reward.
So - no more going for walks with your pockets full of Ham, Cheese, or Dog Treats. Only your own sneaky snack.

Questions about neutering, vaccinations, flea and worm treatments, weight management or even the ideal diet for your dog or puppy? Hollybarn Dog Training and Behaviour can help with that too.

"ALL" your training and behavioural needs in one comprehensive session.
Dog Training sessions can include Sit, Lie, Stay, come when called (Recall), Walk on a Lead, Jumping, play biting, as well as more serious issues including Separation Anxiety, Aggression, Snapping and Resource Guarding.
Just tell us what you need, and we'll cover it. We won't leave you until we've covered everything you need.

Using this unique, hands-on approach means that one comprehensive session is normally enough. However (and this is the important bit), once you have completed a training session - you have unlimited support for the lifetime of your dog.
SO - YOU ARE NEVER LEFT ON YOUR OWN. You can call, email or text for further help without having to pay for further sessions, unless you really want them.
You effectively have access to your own dog trainer and behaviourist for the lifetime of your dog after you've completed a training session.
We provide one to one dog training or puppy training and behaviour sessions, courses and classes with a qualified dog trainer or puppy trainer throughout Ireland including Mayo, Galway, Clare, Roscommon, Sligo, Leitrim, Longford, Cavan, Westmeath, Offaly, Dublin, Greater Dublin, Kildare, and Wicklow.
