Douglas dogs need Douglas training
Most dog problems don't happen in a training hall. They happen on your specific street, your specific walk, with your specific dog. That's why Planet Pup trains where the problems are.
Douglas Village is a busy suburban hub where many dogs struggle with excitement, barking, pulling on lead or reacting to constant people and dog traffic. Training focuses on helping dogs stay calm and focused in highly stimulating everyday environments.
In surrounding estates like Donnybrook, Maryborough Ridge, Rochestown Road and Frankfield, dogs often struggle with barking, jumping up, pulling on lead and overexcitement at home or when leaving the house. Training builds calm, controlled behaviour that fits into family and estate life.
Local walking areas such as Tramore Valley Park, the Rochestown Greenway and nearby coastal routes offer great exercise but strong distractions. Dogs may struggle with recall, lead pulling, chasing and focus, so training is done in these environments to build reliable real-world behaviour.
Dogs learn best in familiar environments. Coming to you means your dog is relaxed, focused, and the skills we work on are immediately relevant to the exact spaces and situations you share every day.

What Local Clients say...
Feedback from dog owners in Douglas, Rochestown, Cork City and surrounding areas.
“Honesty, I can’t recommend Lauren enough! Her passion for dog behavior is matched only by her deep knowledge of how they think. She doesn't just teach commands, she helps you understand the 'why' behind every action. If you want a trainer who is as patient with humans as she is with dogs, she is the one to call.”

"Hi. Lauren trained my Dad's dog. His dog is a rescue and had a hard start. Lauren called to my Dad's house for 6 sessions. She was always very prompt. Lauren was also very patient with both us and the dog and explained what she was doing and why. She really helped us to train Holly. She also gave us so many useful tips to carry on training Holly ourselves. On the last day of training, Lauren told us that we could contact her any time we needed to in the future. Myself, my Dad and of course, Holly, can't recommend Lauren enough."

"A beautiful location, and overall lovely facility and a super professional dog trainer. Thank you to Lauren and wonderful patience with our stubborn puppy stop will definitely be going back to Lauren for another session”

"We really enjoyed the 6 weeks of training we did with Lauren. It’s very handy being able to do it 1:1 at home & you can tell she has great experience with all dogs & understands their behaviour so well. Our dog loved her & we learnt lots. Each session comes with notes so all the family can practise afterwards! Definitely would recommend."
