Do you travel to Glanmire and surrounding areas?

Yes. We cover Glanmire, Riverstown, Brooklodge, Sallybrook, Glounthaune, Little Island and nearby Cork City suburbs. Training takes place in your home and local walking routes.

My dog reacts to other dogs constantly in Glanmire estates and green areas — why is this happening?

Yes. We teach structured loose lead walking so your dog learns to stay calm and connected to you even in high-distraction environments.

My dog reacts to other dogs constantly — why is this happening?

Glanmire has a high dog population in a compact commuter area, which leads to frequent on-lead encounters. We work on calm exposure, focus and impulse control.

My dog is fine at home but ignores me outside — is that normal?

Yes. Dogs do not automatically transfer behaviour from home to outdoor environments. We build reliable obedience in your real walking routes.

My dog gets overstimulated on walks near Glanmire village or John O'Callahan Park — can you help with that?

Yes. Glanmire village and surrounding routes can become very busy with traffic, school runs and footfall. Many dogs become overexcited or overwhelmed in these conditions. We help build calm focus so your dog can cope better in real-world busy environments.

Do you cover surrounding areas like Little Island, Glounthaune and Cork City outskirts?

Yes. We regularly work across Glanmire, Riverstown, Brooklodge, Sallybrook, Glounthaune, Little Island and nearby Cork City suburbs. Training always takes place in your home and local walking routes.

My dog struggles on walks that connect to different estates or open areas — why does this happen?

Glanmire has lots of connected walking routes between estates, green areas and commuter paths. Dogs can become overstimulated by changing environments, smells and movement. We work on focus and impulse control so your dog stays engaged with you through these transitions.

Busy commuter suburbs and growing estates

Glanmire has expanded rapidly, with busy residential areas such as Riverstown, Brooklodge, Hazelwood, Crestfield and Sallybrook. Many dogs struggle with excitement, barking, jumping up at visitors or reacting to people and other dogs in these high-traffic estates. We help your dog learn calm, controlled behaviour that works in everyday family life.

Local walks, green spaces and river routes

With access to riverside walks, green areas and connecting routes towards Glounthaune and Cork City, Glanmire offers fantastic exercise opportunities. However, these environments can create challenges with recall, lead pulling, chasing wildlife and overexcitement around other dogs, runners and cyclists. We train in the exact areas you walk so your dog learns reliable behaviour where it matters most.

Busy roads and commuter lifestyle

Glanmire sits on a key commuter route into Cork City, meaning constant traffic, movement and daily activity. Dogs often become overstimulated, reactive or distracted by noise, vehicles and passing people. We help build confidence and focus so your dog can stay calm in busy real-world environments.

Eliminate Travel Stress

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 Glanmire, Riverstown, Brooklodge, Sallybrook and surrounding areas.

“We were so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Lauren, who helped us achieve a very hyper overactive puppy to this calm obedient dog.”

"Lauren is an absolute phenomenal dog trainer! She is energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely loves dogs. Her positive, science based methods transformed my dog’s behaviour quickly and made walks and home life much calmer. I highly recommend Planet Pup to anyone who wants real, lasting results."

"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.”
