Lichfield, Staffordshire & a 20-mile radius
Based in Lichfield, Staffordshire, Houndkind offers one-to-one training and behavioural support within a 20-mile radius. Meet Francesca, the trainer behind your dog’s progress.
Pulling on the lead, unreliable recall, jumping up, excessive barking or difficulty settling can make daily life challenging. You may be dealing with a recent change or a pattern that has developed over years.
We begin by understanding your dog, their history and the situations you find difficult. From there, we agree a suitable approach and help you put it into practice, at a pace that suits your dog.
