Some dogs need (and deserve) special attention. They tend to get overexcited, restless or anxious at the drop of a hat. They may have selective hearing or pull like a train on lead.

​

This doesn’t mean that they’re bad dogs; it just means that they require a different approach.

​

Our 1:1 session are with our Head Dog Trainer, and she will go through the layers of every behaviour so that she can put a training plan into place. 

 

During the 1:1, the Head Trainer will need to explore your dog's health, environment, and learning history, as well as identify triggers and consequences / reinforcers for the behaviour. From there, she can develop a complete plan that addresses the needs of the individual dog, reducing their stress, increasing tolerance, and reinforcing desirable responses.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The training plan will be custom made for you to help overcome any behaviour you may be struggling with. 

 

Included in the session is a high value chew (enrichment activity) and written homework and training plan sent out after the session. 

​

That’s what one-to-one sessions are for! A focussed session of this sort can help to address specific problem behaviours. If your dog is pulling on the lead and barking at squirrels every time you go out for a walk, or get too excited when you have friends over, then one-to-one dog training might well provide the answer.

​

One-to-one training can be of benefit to dogs of all ages.

So if you have a puppy waiting for vaccinations, there is no need to wait to start the games based training. If you have an older dog or a rescue, despite the popular saying, old dogs can learn new tricks – and our games-based instruction is the perfect way to teach them.

​

We also cater to a range of abilities. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll get the ball rolling – and, with a little patience, we’ll build real, positive changes in your dog’s behaviour.

​

The one-to-one training sessions can be in the comfort of your own home, or when necessary, outside in your local area. We will work on a tailor made plan that will focus on improving the key underlying struggles.

For puppies, with the right start we can help nip a range of behaviours in the bud, including:

​

Barking at all hours

Chewing on the furniture

Toileting inside the house

Teething and mouthing

Jumping up

Counter surfing

Pulling on lead

Recall

Anxiety / Fear

Reactivity 

Separation Anxiety

Our one-to-one sessions help to instil your dog with a sense of optimism, and teach them to see new experiences as nothing to worry about. Gradually, you’ll see fewer and fewer problem behaviours – and you may ultimately be able to introduce your dog to one of our group classes!
