Meet Training DogĀ®
Training DogĀ® was founded by Lorenzo Barichella, a professional dog trainer and behaviour specialist with over a decade of experience working with dogs and their owners in London
Originally from Milan, Italy, Lorenzo built Training DogĀ® around a clear idea: dog training should not be based only on commands, but on communication, structure, leadership, and a deeper understanding of canine behaviour
Today, Training DogĀ® is a London-based network of professional trainers, all following the Training DogĀ® method to help owners raise calmer, happier, and better-balanced dogs

HEAR FROM OUR CLIENTS
Since then, weāve worked with him on two more occasions: once during the socialisation period and again to address a resource guarding issue with food. Each time, weāve come away feeling confident and reassured. Lorenzo takes the time to thoroughly assess each situation, offers hands-on guidance during the session, and always follows up with a detailed email outlining the next steps and a summary of everything discussed.
Itās clear that he has a wealth of experience working with all kinds of dogs and behavioural challenges. He has a calm, kind, and gentle approachāyet knows exactly when to be firm. We highly recommend Lorenzo as a dog trainer and behaviourist.
I have a maltese (called Coco) who would always pull when walking on a lead. She would also bark whenever she sees another dog or when she sees people passing by the window. I tried so many things but nothing worked. After just 5 minutes with Lorenzo walking Coco, she's a changed dog! I couldn't believe it.... She was walking nicely with a loose lead and wasn't pulling forward when I was ahead of her or when she saw another dog in front of her.
Lorenzo truly loves dogs and more importantly he understands them. He is able to explain to me why Coco behaves the way she does and what I should be doing instead to change her behaviour. He has truly educated my husband and I on the foundations of being a leader to Coco and creating a successful relationship between Coco and us. He has also provided us with written advice on what we can do when we encounter certain scenarios e.g. excessive barking etc.
I left it a week before leaving my review as I wanted to see how Coco was after one consultation with Lorenzo - she has been walking well on a lead and she is overall much calmer and well behaved.
If you are struggling with any unwanted behaviours (no matter small or big) in your dog, I highly recommend booking a session with Lorenzo - you won't regret it!! I wish I booked one with Lorenzo sooner, I really can't recommend him enough - thank you so much Lorenzo!
He is kind, calm but firm & uses positive reinforcement which obviously works. Heās clearly loved by so many dogs in the park who run up to him to say hello and my dog respected him immediately.
Lorenzo has provided lots of other tips and techniques that make for a very happy dog and has been supportive in helping us implement them. I have nothing but great things to say!
I would definitely recommend him if you are getting a puppy because he can start training on day one so that as the dog gets older there are no behaviour issues. Or if you have an older dog that needs correction Iām sure he is great with that too.
We cannot recommend Lorenzo more, he is excellent! After three weeks our puppy is already better trained than any of our past dogs ever were.
- HOW
CAN WE HELP?
- PERSONALISED ONE-TO-ONE TRAINING
Every dog is different
That’s why every Training DogĀ® programme starts with a consultation, allowing us to understand your dog, your lifestyle, and your goals before creating a tailored training plan
Whether you need help with a puppy, behavioural issues, or everyday training, we’ll guide you every step of the way
- PUPPY TRAINING
Give your puppy the best possible start
The first weeks of a dog’s life play a huge role in shaping future behaviour
We’ll help you build the right foundations, including toilet training, recall, socialisation, pack mentality, engagement, and the skills needed for safe, reliable off-lead walking from day one
We’ll also give you the confidence and guidance needed to avoid common mistakes and raise a calm, happy, and well-balanced dog
- BEHAVIOURAL MODIFICATION
Behavioural modification is often confused with dog training
Training teaches new skills, such as recall, lead walking, or obedience exercises
Behavioural modification addresses existing problems, such as reactivity, excessive barking, separation anxiety, destructive behaviour, or aggression
At Training DogĀ®, we focus on understanding the cause of unwanted behaviours and creating practical plans for lasting change
- RESIDENTIAL TRAINING
Fast-track your dog’s progress
Our residential training programmes allow your dog to live and train with an experienced Training DogĀ® trainer, receiving structured daily guidance, exercise, and behavioural development
Ideal for busy owners, complex behavioural cases, accelerated results, or puppies needing the best possible start in life

Some dogs need a little extra understanding
We specialise in helping anxious, under-socialised, and rescued dogs develop confidence, trust, and stability through calm leadership, structure, and clear communication
Every programme is tailored to the individual dog’s needs and emotional state
- PERSONAL TRAINER FOR YOUR DOG
Training doesn’t have to stop once the goals have been achieved
Many clients choose to continue with regular sessions to provide their dog with ongoing physical exercise, mental stimulation, social experiences, and structured enrichment
Think of it as having a personal trainer for your dog

- WHY
DOG TRAINING MATTERS?
Your Dog Is Family. Help Them Thrive
Your dog shares your home, your routines, and your life, but unlike humans, dogs aren’t born understanding our world
They don’t naturally know how to walk politely on a lead, come back when called, stay calm around distractions, or make good decisions in busy environments
These are skills that need to be taught!
At Training DogĀ®, we help owners build better relationships with their dogs through communication, leadership, and practical training
Because a well-trained dog is happier, more confident, and easier to live with
