01 Do you travel to Midleton?
Yes. Planet Pup covers Midleton and surrounding areas like Carrigtwohill, Cobh, Glouthane, Lisgoold, Leamlara and Little Island. All training takes place in your home and on your local walks.
02 My dog is fine at home but pulls, ignores me or gets overexcited on walks in Midleton — can you help?
Yes. This is very common in Midleton due to the mix of busy town streets, residential estates and nearby walking routes. Dogs often struggle to switch from calm home behaviour to high-distraction outdoor environments. We train in real-life settings so your dog learns to listen everywhere.
03 My dog pulls hard on the lead, especially around Midleton town or local parks — can this be fixed?
Yes. Lead pulling is one of the most common issues we work with. In Midleton, dogs are often stimulated by people, traffic, other dogs and open green spaces. We teach structured loose lead walking so your dog learns to stay calm and connected to you.
04 My dog reacts to other dogs constantly on walks — why is this happening so often in Midleton?
Midleton has a high number of dog owners in a relatively compact area, meaning frequent on-lead encounters. This can lead to frustration, over-arousal or reactive behaviour. We work on calm exposure and focus so your dog can pass other dogs without stress.
05 My dog struggles in busy areas like the town centre or around schools — can you help?
Yes. Many Midleton dogs become overwhelmed or overexcited in busy pedestrian areas, especially around school runs, shops and Main Street traffic. We help your dog build calmness and focus so they can cope better in these everyday environments.
06 My dog is very distracted on coastal or countryside walks nearby — is that something you can work on?
Yes. East Cork offers a mix of beaches, open spaces and rural walking routes, which can be very stimulating for dogs. We work on recall, impulse control and focus so your dog stays responsive even in exciting outdoor environments.
07 Do you cover areas around Midleton like Carrigtwohill, Cobh and Leamlara?
Yes. We regularly work in areas between Midleton and Cork City, including Carrigtwohill, Cobh, Fota, Glounthane, Little Island, Lisgoold and Leamlara. Training takes place in your home and local walks.
