Our Training & Selection Process
We operate a strict and detailed selection process for all the dogs we take in to train. We work with the top breeders in Europe, from countries like Germany, Croatia, Serbia and Hungary, as countries like these have far more regulated breeding standards. All dogs we part-train have no pre-existing conditions that could affect receptiveness to our training programmes, as well as be well-socialised with other dogs, children and other animals.
If you are thinking about buying a part-trained dog, just be aware that they may need a little more from you as their owner, compared to if you bought a fully-trained dog. This is because they won’t have passed all temperament tests, or didn’t complete the entire programme. Therefore, our part-trained dogs for sale are perfect if you’re looking for a more hands-on approach, have experience in training a dog or want a head-start continuing training for man’s and woman’s best friend. You will need to understand them, create a comfortable and calm environment in your home and embrace their charming quirks. In return, you’ll receive endless love, affection and companionship from your furry friend.
Handover & Aftercare
We support you and your part-trained dog post-sale with a personalised handover and aftercare service. As your new dog will only be part-trained, we’re here to offer our expert guidance on how you can proceed with continued training. We also offer a four-week bonding plan, with a follow-up session, so you and your chosen dog get to know each other properly.
Benefit from optional refresher sessions, and seek our help if you need it using our 24/7 client support line. With A&T Dog Trained Dogs, we don’t stop supporting you once you leave our premises with your pooch; we enact a transition so both you and your part-trained dog are settled and happy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ‘part-trained’ mean?
A part-trained dog can either mean that they haven’t passed all the tests in our fully trained dog programme, or they haven’t completed the entire programme before being sold. A part-trained dog will still understand basic commands and will not have behavioural issues.
How is a part-trained dog different from a fully trained dog?
A part-trained dog understands basic commands such as sit, stay and recall, but may not respond consistently, especially in distracting environments. They are still developing behaviour, lead walking and social skills. However, a fully trained dog, which we also sell, responds reliably in a variety of situations, including around distractions. They have strong obedience, good manners and consistent behaviour, making them easier to manage in everyday life.
Are part-trained dogs suitable for first-time owners?
Absolutely. Many people choose a part-trained dog because they already have a foundation in basic commands and behaviour, making them easier to handle than an untrained dog. Purchasing a part-trained dog still allows owners to continue their training and build a strong bond. If you are a first-time owner, it is important to understand that they still require ongoing guidance and consistency, so you should be prepared to reinforce training and maintain routines to help the dog reach its full potential.
Are part-trained dogs house-trained?
Our part-trained dogs for sale are all partially house-trained and have no behavioural issues before going to their new homes. They understand that the home is not the place to go to the toilet, that furniture is not for chewing, and how to behave around children, other dogs and animals. However, accidents can still happen, especially during transitions into a new environment. Consistency, routine and reinforcement will still be needed to ensure they become fully house-trained.
What age are your part-trained dogs?
Our part-trained dogs generally range in age from two to three years old. You’ll have a full-grown companion that understands basic commands, has no behavioural issues and is ready to provide companionship and unconditional love to the right owners.
Will the dog adjust easily to my home?
Our handover and aftercare procedures ensure your dog gets to know you and is fully prepared to move into your home. A new environment can be unsettling for some dogs, but our trainers and structured procedures help ensure they settle in comfortably and adjust as smoothly as possible to their new surroundings.
Can I meet the dog before making a decision?
Absolutely. We encourage all potential owners to visit our premises in Lancaster to meet our part-trained dogs. You can observe their personalities and behaviour, spend time with them and begin building a bond. Our team will also be available to answer questions and help you find the right dog for your home. We strongly advise visiting the dogs in person before making any purchase.
How much are your part-trained dogs?
Our part-trained dogs for sale range between £3,500 and £6,500, depending on breed, age and level of training. We also offer finance plans from a minimum deposit of £500 to help make ownership more manageable.
