Puppy Training

Welcoming a puppy into your home is a super exciting time but can be very overwhelming too!

Getting it right from the start is an essential investment to help your puppy grow into a well rounded and happy adult dog. Leave nothing to chance and book a puppy package today for a tailored plan to avoid common behaviour issues and teach your puppy essential skills like re-call and loose lead walking.

Online Behaviour Consult

With online behaviour consulting, I’ll review your dog’s behaviour history form before we meet and may ask you to provide video footage where it is safe to do so. This gives me valuable information about the context surrounding your dog’s behaviour and helps us begin to unpack what may be influencing and maintaining it. During our online session, we’ll discuss your dog’s behaviour in detail and develop practical management and training strategies tailored to you and your dog.

1-2-1 Training Sessions

Training sessions are perfect for brushing up on your dogs re-call, loose lead walking or house manners and polite greetings.

These sessions are also useful in helping you to navigate the teenage phase or introducing a new pet to your household.

1-2-1 training can also be used as follow up support after your behaviour assessment.

Online Training Cooperative Care

Does your dog hide when the brush comes out, hate having their nails clipped, struggle with being handled, or become frightened, growly or snappy during grooming or vet visits?

Cooperative care training teaches dogs the skills they need to take an active part in their own care. Using gradual, reward-based training, we can work on brushing, nail care, ear care, handling, veterinary examinations, muzzle training and other husbandry procedures.

Behaviour Assessment

If your dog's behaviour has got you dreading dog walks or feeling embarrassed and stressed out, the behaviour assessment session is for you. It can be very hard to manage your dog's undesirable behaviour or anxiety alone.

Behaviour assessment sessions include a full write up and plan, with one follow up session. Further support and training can be booked though there is no obligation.

I have the expertise and experience to guide you through a tailored behaviour plan to help both ends of the lead live their best lives.

Resolving Reactivity

A five-session package specifically for dogs whose only presenting behaviour concern is dog-to-dog reactivity.

Session 1: Behaviour assessment, history review, management plan and foundation skills.
Sessions 2–3: Controlled training set-ups with a suitable stooge dog where appropriate, progressing at your dog’s pace.
Sessions 4–5: Real-world “in the wild” training walks, putting your skills into practice around naturally occurring dogs.

The exact progression will be tailored to your dog. If additional behaviour concerns are present, a Comprehensive Behaviour Assessment will be more appropriate.
