The N25 corridor and commuter pressure
Carrigtwohill’s location on the N25 between Cork City and Midleton means heavy traffic, busy roundabouts and a fast-paced environment. We work on desensitisation and calm focus in these exact environments.

Our 14 month golden retriever was bit excitable and no boundaries . 2 sessions with Lauren made a huge difference and even our friend came over yesterday evening. She could not believe how much calmer he was. Next steps lead walking and recall and see rest coming on. Laurens training techniques of positive reinforcement and letting dogs use own brains is brill. Shall be working with Lauren to help Danny be his best version”

01 Do you travel to Carrigtwohill?
Yes. Planet Pup covers Carrigtwohill and surrounding areas including Glounthane, Midleton, Little Island, Cobh and Fota. All training takes place in your home and on your local walks.
02 My dog pulls constantly on lead around the new estates — can this be fixed?
Yes. Lead pulling is very common in Carrigtwohill’s newer estates where footpaths are narrow and dog encounters are frequent. We teach structured loose lead walking so your dog learns to stay calm and connected even in busy residential areas.
03 My dog reacts to other dogs near the train station or on the main road — can you help?
Yes. The area around Carrigtwohill train station and the N25 corridor is high stimulation for many dogs. Barrier frustration and traffic noise are common triggers. We work on calm focus and desensitisation so your dog can handle these environments without reacting.
04 My dog is great indoors but ignores me the moment we step outside — why?
This is very common in fast-growing towns like Carrigtwohill where there is a lot of external stimulation. Dogs become overwhelmed by smells, sounds and sights and essentially switch off. Training outside — in your actual environment — teaches your dog to stay connected to you regardless of what’s going on around them.
05 My puppy is biting and jumping constantly — is this normal?
Yes, completely normal — but it won’t stop on its own. The sooner you address it, the easier it is to fix. We start puppy training from 8 weeks old and work in your home where the biting and jumping is actually happening.
06 Do you cover areas near Carrigtwohill like Glounthane and Little Island?
Yes. We regularly work in Glounthane, Little Island, Fota, Cobh and the full East Cork corridor between Carrigtwohill and Midleton. Training always takes place in your home and on your local walks.
07 My dog struggles when we walk near Carrigtwohill Business Park or busy roads — can you help with this?
Yes. Traffic noise, large vehicles and busy road environments are common anxiety triggers for dogs. We work on building calmness and confidence around these stimuli so your dog can walk without stress on any route.
