Train Your Dog To Be Their Best

​from £57 per session

Struggling With Your Dog’s Behaviour?

The good news is, you're not alone. I’ll help you understand your dog’s behaviour and find a solution and build a strong bond.

Maybe your adult dog:

  • is pulling on the lead
  • has poor recall
  • jumps up
  • barks
  • ignores commands
  • has difficulty settling

Maybe your puppy is:

  • biting or nipping
  • having toilet training accidents
  • jumping up
  • chewing everything
  • pulling on the lead
  • ignoring recall
  • struggling to settle

[Jo] made me feel comfortable with no judgement. I would highly recommend.

1-2-1 Single session

This focused 1-to-1 session is ideal when you have one particular problem you'd like help with, without committing to a full training programme.

We’ll look at what’s happening, identify what may be contributing to the behaviour, and work through practical, force-free strategies you can continue using at home.

Ideal for issues such as:

  • Pulling on the lead
  • Recall
  • Jumping up
  • Puppy biting
  • Focus and attention
  • Settling and calm behaviour
  • One specific behaviour you're struggling with

1-2-1 Workshop

Two hours of focused, personalised training

Need help with a specific training challenge? My 1-to-1 workshops give you two hours of dedicated support to understand the problem, learn practical strategies and put them into practice with your dog.

Each workshop focuses on one specific training topic and is tailored to you and your dog's individual needs.

Workshops could focus on:

  • Loose lead walking
  • Recall
  • Focus and engagement
  • Calm behaviour and settling
  • Jumping up
  • Impulse control
  • Training around distractions
  • Building confidence
  • Everyday manners
  • Another specific training challenge

During your workshop, I'll work through the issue step-by-step, with plenty of time for practical training, questions and troubleshooting.

You'll leave with clear strategies and practical exercises to continue working on at home and out and about.

2-hour personalised 1-to-1 workshop - £76
