Specialist training for high drive, working-line and sport dogs in West Berkshire. Balance, structure and real-world results — from trainers who understand what driving forces are behind your dog and what it is genetically built for.
obedience training
Precision, drive and focus — built together. Obedience training for dogs in everyday life and/or competing or working towards competition level obedience.
E-collar training
Used correctly, e-collar training is one of the most effective tools for off-lead reliability and impulse control in high drive dogs.
Puppy foundations
Start right. Build the relationship, the drives and the structure that set your pup up for a lifetime of confident, balanced behaviour.
Reactivity in high drive dogs
Reactivity in a high drive dog can come from a number of emotions. We will help you to understand where this is coming from and why.
Hi I’m Ashley
I’ve spent years working with high drive dogs, one in particular that you will get to know called Twiglet (pictured).
These are the ones that other trainers find too much, too intense, or too complicated and sometimes even claim untrainable. Those are my favourite kind. DriveStateK9 exists to give those dogs — and their owners — the structure, tools and understanding they need to thrive together. Based in West Berkshire, I work with trainers across the UK all committed to these challenging yet rewarding animals. I am ultimately looking to help people and dogs across West Berkshire and the surrounding area.
