Mallow dogs need Mallow 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.
Residential estates and growing communities
Areas such as Parkview, Springwood, Gouldshill, Fair Street, and surrounding estates have lots of daily activity including neighbours, visitors and frequent dog encounters. We build calm, reliable behaviour that fits into everyday family life.
Busy town life and everyday distractions
Mallow is a busy North Cork town with constant movement from schools, shops, traffic and residential activity. We help your dog learn how to stay calm and focused in real-world town settings.
Parks, river walks and open countryside
Mallow offers access to the River Blackwater, local parks and surrounding countryside walks. We train in the exact environments you use so your dog learns skills that work in real life.
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 Mallow and surrounding areas.
“Super service, very accommodating and amazing communication!”
“We are so pleased to say our little puppy successfully completed the Smarty Pup Obedience Course (3-6) months. Coco Bear really developed positive traits over the seven week course. Liam & I learned so much from our trainer Lauren, with her expert guidance and effective training techniques. Lauren’s instructions were easy to follow. She demonstrated each technique before getting us to practice on our own. She always brought along printed session notes for us to practice with our puppy after each class. We found these notes really useful. We are so grateful to Lauren for the diligence, care and kindness she showed to Coco Bear each week. Our puppy was smitten with her. We would highly recommend Lauren from Planet Pup to train your pet.”
“We highly recommend Lauren at Planet Pup. We brought home two working cocker puppies and Lauren’s help was invaluable from the very start.”

At Planet Pup, we use reward-based training methods focused on positive reinforcement. This approach builds trust and motivates your dog to learn and respond willingly. Our science-backed techniques are designed to be enjoyable for both you and your furry friend.
02 When should I start training my puppy?
Puppy training can begin from 8 weeks old. Early socialisation and foundational skills prevent common issues like biting, pulling on the lead, or poor recall. Starting early builds confidence and good habits.

Yes. We provide one-to-one behaviour consults in Cork for reactivity, fear, separation anxiety, and aggression. Each consult includes a full assessment and a step-by-step behaviour plan tailored to your dog.

No — dogs can learn at any age. While early training is ideal, adolescent and adult dogs can improve significantly with consistent, structured guidance.

Puppy training is delivered in structured courses, while behaviour consults vary depending on the issue. After your first assessment, you’ll receive a clear plan with expected progress and next steps.
