For the first time ever, Yorkshire Canine Academy is bringing their proven training methods to New Zealand. With over 5,000 dogs successfully trained, this is your chance to learn from the UK's leading reactivity specialists.
Whether you're a dog owner struggling with reactivity or a professional trainer looking to expand your skillset, these events offer direct access to techniques that have transformed thousands of dogs across the UK.
"This is likely our only visit to New Zealand. Don't miss the opportunity to work with us hands-on, in person."
WHY WE'RE DIFFERENT
Reactivity is one of the most challenging behavioural issues to address. Most training methods focus on management rather than resolution. Jacob's approach addresses the root cause, giving you lasting results rather than temporary fixes.
Whether you want hands-on intensive training or expert knowledge to take home, we have the perfect option for you and your reactive dog.

YOU TRAIN WITH YOUR DOG
This isn't "board and train." You're in the trenches with us. We build YOUR confidence until you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that you can handle whatever the world throws at you.



Jacob's journey began with Ranger, his reactive rescue who couldn't walk past a dog without lunging. After trying countless trainers and methods, Jacob realised the industry was broken. He developed his own approach based on understanding the root cause, not just managing symptoms.
Today, Yorkshire Canine Academy has a 95% success rate with reactive dogs and over 557 five-star Google reviews. This is the first time Jacob and his team are bringing their proven methods to New Zealand.
These owners were exactly where you are right now. Skeptical, exhausted, and ready to give up. Here is what happened next.
"Outstanding, No‑Nonsense, Life‑Changing. We've just completed the Yorkshire Canine Academy's intensive dog training bootcamp, and it has been nothing short of transformative for me and my dog, Bisley. This programme specialises in reactivity and behaviour, and their no‑nonsense, hard‑line approach is exactly what we needed — firm, fair, structured, and incredibly effective."
Kate W.
Bisley (German Shepherd)
"Bootcamp completely changed our lives. Jackson went from being highly reactive to enjoying stress-free, off-lead walks in busy parks. His recall has improved massively and finally listening to me! :-) It's a real investment but absolutely worth it. The staff are amazing and always on hand for ongoing support. Highly recommend!"
Clare I.
Jackson (Malinois)
"Within 5 days of being on bootcamp at YCA, Winston was able to walk and settle with other dogs (as opposed to the usual barking and lunging behaviour). Instead of having a wannabe sledge dog, I now have a dog that will walk loosely on a lead. Everyone at YCA is welcoming, easy to talk to and passionate about doing the best for your dog. Thanks to YCA, I now have the tools to take Winston on new adventures and am already planning where to take him next. If you think the hype is 'too good to be true', contact them and see for yourself!"
Christina T.
Winston (Dachshund)
We are so confident in our bootcamp that we take on all the risk. If you complete all 5 days of the intensive programme and you still don't see significant improvements in your dog's behaviour by the end of the bootcamp, we will refund your investment in full.
You can even keep all the training materials as a thank you for giving us a try. That's how certain we are that this will work for you.
Most trainers focus on managing symptoms rather than addressing the root cause. We don't just put a plaster on the problem; we strip it back to the core. Our reviews speak for themselves.
Reactivity requires intensive, consistent work. Weekly sessions allow too much time for old patterns to resurface. Our 5-day intensive format creates rapid, lasting change because you're immersed in the training environment with constant support.
We've worked with dogs that other trainers refused to take on. Age and severity don't determine success - commitment does. If you're willing to put in the work, we can help. That's why we offer a money-back guarantee.
Working spots (limited to 6) allow you to bring your dog and receive hands-on guidance from Jacob and the team. Spectator spots let you observe all demonstrations and Q&A sessions, perfect if you want to learn the methods before implementing them at home.
The seminar is perfect if you want to learn our methods and implement them yourself. The bootcamp is for those who want intensive, hands-on transformation with daily support. Both are effective - it depends on your learning style and availability.
You don't have to live with the stress, guilt, and isolation for another day. A calmer, happier life with your dog is possible, and it starts here.
