Take & Train Kickstart?

Professional dog training for busy owners.

I do the training with your dog and then help you understand how to continue their progress at home.

Perfect for owners who want professional support but struggle to fit regular training sessions into a busy schedule.

Consultation £60

Programmes from £245*

How Does Take & Train Work?

1. We discuss your goals

I'll learn about your dog, your challenges and what you would like to improve.

2. I create a training plan

Your dog's programme is tailored around their individual needs and goals.

3. I complete the training sessions

Depending on your dog's needs, training may take place at home, outdoors or in suitable real-world environments.

4. I keep you updated

You'll receive progress updates, photos and videos throughout the programme.

5. I hand the training back to you

At the end of the programme, I'll show you how to continue and maintain your dog's progress.
