1-2-1 Private Lessons & Half Day Training
Bespoke, one to one training, using kind and effective training methods. My approach uses positive reinforcement to make lifelong changes in your dog’s behaviour.
121 sessions can be tailored precisely to your needs and objectives. The venue depends on the problems you are facing, they can be arranged in a local park, secure field or your garden/home. My knowledge of the latest positive, reward based, training techniques and understanding the science of dog behaviour analysis enables me to tackle even challenging issues.
121 training can be particularly beneficial in training methods to help with issues such as recall, walking on a lead, careful socialisation and reactivity (sensitivity around strangers and other dogs). These lessons also cover how to enrich your dog’s life and are available for puppies through to senior dogs.
We can teach all the skills necessary to help your dog overcome problem behaviours and these can then be practised at home.
Each one to one session will be followed by a full written report covering all of the areas you worked on as well as access to online demonstration videos.

Half Day Training Sessions
We also offer a half day training service where we can train your dog for you. If you find it difficult to find the time to attend training classes but want some professional advice and training for your dog, I can provide this for you. I will work one on one with your dog over a 3 hour period. Any more than this would become tiring for your dog which is why we limit the sessions to 3 hours.
The sessions begin with a consultation with you so that I can meet your dog, talk to you about the specific areas you want me to focus on and then draw up a tailored training programme.
Each session will be followed by a full written report covering all of the areas worked on as well as access to online demonstration videos
