1:1 Training

Sometimes a helping hand can make the difference between a good and great life with your pooch. In some circumstances, it can even keep you and pooch together.

1:1 training offers a truly tailored experience for you, your family and most of all your pooch. People and dogs all have different learning styles and sometimes online courses or classes are not the most suitable scenario for you.
I limit my 1:1 clients to ensure I can offer you the best support and experience possible.

All training we undertake is reinforcement based.

My mission is to help you learn more about your dog and how to work together to achieve your goals. To do this will take commitment on your part and will not be achieved within a few hours of 1:1 sessions. Think of it like having a gym membership with support from a personal trainer, they can advise, guide and show you how to achieve your results, however the hard work and dedication from you is the real key to success. So I will support you with training plans, games and exercises for you to continue to achieve progress and results.

Dog Training often falls into two main categories, "Training" or "Behaviour".

  • "Training" is what we undertake with dogs (often puppies/young dogs) to help them learn the skills needed for a happy life together. We often utilise classes to help you and pooch learn these, however for some, 1:1 training is a more suitable option.
  • "Behaviour" is when our dogs have a strong emotional response to a situation or trigger that results in a reaction, which often is not suitable for us or them. This can include barking, lunging, growling, snapping, jumping, snarling, cowering, guarding etc. These responses can often make life challenging and 1:1 programmes are the right way to support you in tackling these.

1:1 dog training can cover most behavior challenges, foundation life skills, and more. However, I will never take on cases where I do not believe I can support you to the level you or your dog needs. If the issues you are facing require special behavioral support then I will support you in finding the right person.

Some of the things I can help you with include:

  • Response To People Or Dogs ("Reactivity")
  • Resource Guarding
  • Pulling on Walks
  • Recall
  • Jumping Up
  • Puppy Training
  • Rescue Dog Support
  • Chewing & Mouthing
  • Confidence
  • Life Skills

What does 1:1 training include?

There are 3 main phases to our 1:1 training journey together. My role is to support and coach you to help you achieve all the skills needed to work with your pooch in a happy fun and engaging way.

Phase 1 = Analysis

This is usually completed during our first session together but in some circumstances, may be completed over several sessions for very complex issues. This phase is where I can get to know pooch much more, ask lots of questions around the issues you may face and what our training goals are. This enables us to build an achievable plan and also get to work on the foundational training elements that we will build on.

Phase 2 = Core Training

This phase moves our plans into actions. Here I will arm you with all the skills and abilities to work with your pooch to achieve your goals.

Phase 3 = Progress & Advancement

Dog training is partnership with another living creature and therefor is not a mechanical route to success. In this phase we tailor our plans further to ensure they working at their optimum to achieve our goals. We will also push our core training further so we can "bombproof" it and make it fit for life long success.

What to expect in 1:1 training?

During our sessions, you will spend the majority of the time handling and working with your dog under my guidance and I will provide demonstrations and explanations throughout our session.
There will be a blend of Q&A, practical exercises and theory to ensure we can build the right plans and set achievable goals which will enable the learning journey keep progressing.
