We are not restricted to following a specific training ideology or method; we put the dog’s welfare (including long-term welfare) above everything else. In situations where we need to use some form of aversives to change behaviour, we can competently use them with none of the risks of emotional or behavioural ‘fallout’. Every training plan is presented to the dog’s owner to make an informed decision based on the cost-benefit ratio.
We are firm advocates of the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) approach to training. Our methods utilise positive reinforcement and various types of differential reinforcement and science-based techniques to modify behaviour. ​​
​
Ultimately, we work with the dog’s genetic makeup and formulate our training around the individual dog and owner to achieve outstanding results.
OUR TRAINING METHODS ARE RADICALLY DIFFERENT
William Chandler-Duff is one of the UK’s most sought-after dog trainers for behaviour modification and advanced functional obedience. He also has a personal passion for working dog training (e.g., protection dogs, scent detection dogs) and sport-dog style obedience. He has helped not only dog owners but also dog trainers from around the world in achieving success.
William has also had the privilege of learning directly from many world-renowned trainers, including Ivan Balabanov and Mia Skogster, both two-time IGP World Champions. Their influence has shaped his understanding of play, advanced obedience, precise handling, and effective behaviour modification.

Confidential
"I bought a trained dog from William. The dog performs perfectly with zero faults in her training. Very impressed!"
Lucy Delaney
"I went to 3 other trainers before meeting Will in the street with his amazingly behaved dogs. I got chatting to him about dogs, as mine was at home and he told me he was a dog trainer. I told him about my dog and how she was reactive and then redirected her aggression onto me - he signed me up for a training program and my life with my dog has changed beyond anything I would have imagined. He doesn't just tell you how to train your dog he teaches you the complete science behind what you are training. He is amazing, I would recommend him to anyone!"
TESTIMONIALS
Josh Parker
"We couldn’t recommend William enough & so can our neighbours (separation anxiety). Whatever it is I’m willing to put my house on it that William can find a healthy solution for your dog."
