Friendly professional 1-to-1 training guidance in your own home, garden or park

1-to-1 training

Why choose 1-to-1?

Training your dog or puppy can be daunting and sometimes frustrating. Sometimes no matter how hard you try, you seem unable to get through to your dog and unwanted behaviours persist.

Attending group training classes is an essential part of training your dog, but sometimes you need more individual attention and input. I offer 1-to-1 guidance in your own home environment to help you to understand your dog and to assist you in addressing your specific difficulties you may be having with your dog’s training. I can help you to learn to read your dog’s body language and to understand why your dog acts in a certain way or does not respond to commands as you want them to.

About me

A graduate of Sparsholt College, I am City and Guilds qualified and I have over 10 years of hands-on experience of working with dogs and puppies.

What to expect

Our sessions will cover all aspects of dog training including:

• Lead walking and walking to heel
• Jumping up
  
• Over excitement
  
• Poor recall
  
• Lunging
• Greeting visitors and other dogs
• Barking
• Separation anxiety
  

I will travel to you to meet either at your home or at your local park. I will observe and assess your handling and relationship with your dog and will offer training and guidance in those areas you are finding problematic.

I am always happy to answer questions and following our session will remain available for any further queries you may have by email for up to 6 months.

A session normally takes 1 ½ to 2 hours, but this can vary as the format of each session is tailored specifically to the needs of you and your dog. Puppy sessions may be shorter as puppies can tire easily and lose concentration; it may be preferred to cover ground with two shorter sessions rather than one long one.

It is important to remember that you are training your dog; my role is to offer you guidance and support to reinforce your position as head of your dog’s pack and to strengthen and improve on the work that you are doing.
