Some dogs find a dog training class with other dogs too distracting and benefit from initial training at home first.
If you would prefer to train your dog in your own home rather than attend classes, I will come to you and help you with your training needs. I will tailor these sessions to you and your dog to allow you to have individual attention and support you need. This makes the training very efficient.
One-to-one dog training sessions have limited availability, so please email me to discuss.
My Methods
All dogs are unique and whether you are an experienced owner, a first time puppy owner or have just acquired a rescue dog, you may meet unexpected challenges in their behaviour and training. All my training methods are positive and will be fun for both you and your dog and will help further develop a good relationship with your dog. I will design training sessions to meet your needs, whether you want to:
- Master companion dog basics
- Have a well-behaved companion at home,
- Address issues on walks, such as walking on a loose lead, or recall.
- Want to work on more advanced ‘obedience’ exercises.
Benefits of Dog Training
There are many benefits to a well-trained dog, achieved through positive methods:
- A well-behaved dog is more welcome and easier to take places with you and therefore has a more enriched life.
- Training fulfils many of your dog’s needs: attention from you, mental stimulation (more tiring than physical exercise), and improved communication.
- Improves the relationship / bond with your dog, built on understanding and fun!
- Increased ability to communicate with your dog and understand them in return
- Greater control: ability to help you dog respond appropriately in difficult situations
- Channels your dog’s energies positively
- Dogs may become more cognitive and less emotional in their attitudes. This can prevent or manage emotionally driven behavioural problems.
- Can help prevent problem behaviour and / or make treating of problems much easier.
Dog Training Sessions
I will design training sessions to meet your needs, but common areas that may need covering are:
- Understanding principles of training
- Clicker training
- Basic training: focus, sit, down, stand, stay, recall, leave it
- Walking on a loose lead on walks
- Problems with recall on walks
- Advanced training: working with distractions, generalisation, distance control, heelwork, formal recalls, etc.
The cost for a one-to-one home visit is £65 per hour. Depending on your goals, a one-off session may be enough, or you may need a series of sessions.
Dog Training Classes
I also run dog training classes for all ages and abilities.
