All of the dogs who come to Merlin's Hope go to "doggy school", from the moment they arrive. They are offered an ultra quality diet together with positive training.

Depending on their individual capacity, they are taught basic obedience, including how to walk nicely on a lead, how to recall and "stay".

We try to give them all a good start before they go on to their new homes.  We spend loads of time with our adopters to help make sure the transition into the new home is as smooth as possible.
