Carrigaline dogs need Carrigaline 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.
Greenways, woodland walks and everyday distractions
The Carrigaline Greenway, Currabinny Woods and local walking routes are fantastic places to exercise your dog, but they can also create challenges. We train in the exact locations where you walk every day so your dog learns reliable behaviours where they matter most.
Busy estates and growing communities
Carrigaline is one of Cork’s fastest-growing towns, with busy estates like Janeville, Castlelake, Herons Wood and Maple Woods bringing constant activity, traffic and distractions. We help dogs learn how to stay calm and focused in real-life situations.
Coastal walks, beaches and open spaces
With Crosshaven, Fountainstown, Myrtleville and Currabinny just minutes away, many local dogs regularly encounter beaches, open spaces and exciting new environments. We help your dog learn how to stay connected to you, even when distractions are everywhere.
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.

Feedback from dog owners in Carrigaline and surrounding areas.
“We had a great experience with Lauren our trainer who helped get Copper our cockapoo who had a lot of resource guarding and territorial issues to much better place in a short space time. I would highly recommend her.”
“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.”

01 Do you travel to Carrigaline and surrounding areas?
Yes. Planet Pup covers Carrigaline and the northern surrounding areas including , Passage West, Rochestown and nearby parts of Cork City. Training takes place in your home and on your local walks.
02 My dog is fine at home but goes wild on walks around the Greenway or town — can you help?
Yes. This is very common in Carrigaline due to the mix of open walking routes like the Greenway and busy village areas. Dogs often struggle to switch between calm home behaviour and high-distraction environments. We train in real-life locations so your dog learns to stay focused everywhere, not just indoors.
03 My dog pulls hard on the lead, especially on the Greenway or when they see other dogs — can this be fixed?
Yes. The Greenway is a high-distraction environment with runners, cyclists, dogs and wildlife. We teach structured loose lead walking so your dog learns to stay with you rather than reacting to everything around them.
04 My dog reacts to other dogs constantly in Carrigaline — why is this so common?
Carrigaline has a high dog population in a relatively compact area, which means many dogs are repeatedly exposed to other dogs on walks. This can lead to frustration, over-excitement or reactive behaviour. We work on calm exposure, focus and impulse control so your dog can stay relaxed around others.
05 We live in a busy estate (like Herons Wood / Castlelake / Janeville) — can training help with barking and jumping?
Yes. Many dogs in Carrigaline estates struggle with visitors, door manners, barking at neighbours or excitement when people pass by. We help your dog learn calm behaviour in and around the home so everyday life becomes more manageable.
06 Can you help with recall in open areas like fields or the Greenway?
Yes. Recall is one of the biggest struggles in Carrigaline due to open spaces and distractions. We build a reliable recall system so your dog chooses to come back even when they are highly distracted.
07 Is puppy training important in a place like Carrigaline?
Yes — especially in fast-growing areas like Carrigaline. Puppies here are exposed to a lot early on: dogs, traffic, parks and busy estates. Early training helps prevent issues like pulling, recall problems and over-excitement before they become habits.
