One-to-one dog training
Training at your home or out on your usual walks, at your dog’s pace, with kind, reward-based methods. The first half hour is free.
Who it’s for
Any dog, and anyone who loves one. Often it’s something everyday that has started to wear you down:
- A new puppy, and the nipping, toilet training and sleepless nights that come with one.
- A teenage dog who seems to have forgotten everything they knew.
- A rescue dog settling into a new home and a new life.
- Walks that are more pulling, lunging or barking than pleasure.
- Life at home: jumping up at visitors, the doorbell, mealtimes, being left alone for a while.
Whatever it is, the aim is the same: a settled dog who is a joy to live with, and who enjoys life fully.
How it works
- We meet, for free. Half an hour, at your home or somewhere your dog is comfortable. I get to know you both, and we talk about what you’d like to change. Before we meet, I’ll send you a short form about your dog, so we can spend the time on what matters.
- We train together. If you’d like to carry on, sessions are an hour, at home or on walks, wherever the problem actually happens.
- You practise in between. After each session you get a written plan: a few small steps to try, never a list that takes over your day. I’m an email away if you get stuck.
How I train
I build on what your dog enjoys and finds rewarding, never on fear, force or pain, and I don’t use equipment that works by causing discomfort. No dominance or “alpha” ideas either: your dog isn’t trying to run the house, they’re trying to make sense of it.
Pain and illness are often behind a change in behaviour, so if something could be medical, I’ll suggest a vet check first. And if your dog would be better helped by a vet or a clinical animal behaviourist, I’ll say so, and help you find one.
Price
The first half hour is free. After that, sessions are £50 an hour, and packages of sessions cost less. Travel within Bracknell, Binfield, Crowthorne and Wokingham is included.
The details, including booking, paying and moving a session, are in the training terms.
