The Motivated Dog

Dog training based in Colchester, Essex, and beyond. Motivation-first, clear, fair and built around what your dog loves.

Training your dog actually wants to do

I'm Jamie. I train with motivation first, using the things your dog loves to build focus and drive, and I make sure your dog clearly understands what is and isn't expected of them.

From puppies starting out to difficult behaviour cases, including dog and human aggression, every plan is built around your dog and your goals.

How it works

  1. Get in touch

    Send a message or WhatsApp with a bit about your dog and what you'd like help with.

  2. Choose your training

    We'll talk through your goals and pick the service that fits your dog and your life.

  3. Start training

    Lessons at home or out in the real world, wherever your dog needs to get it right.

For the first time in years we can take him everywhere with us.
