ONE TO ONE TRAINING
We are delighted to be able to offer you 1:1 session that will suit whatever query, issue, or challenge that you are experiencing with your dog at whatever stage in their life. Whatever you dog’s history, age or experience. It is worth remembering that everyone will learn in different ways and at a different pace and we are intent on providing a learning experience that suits individual clients as well as those who thrive in the more social class participation atmosphere. Many owners decide to do both!
These 1:1 sessions provide you with dedicated time with one of our qualified trainers to address specific issues or tasks. In our extensive experience, it may be that you need to build some confidence or address certain aspects of training that will make life easier and more enjoyable for you and your dog, build the bond between you and be confident taking your dog out and about.
This could include incorporating the distractions that you might encounter on a daily walk in your local area, for example going past joggers calmly, so that you learn how to influence and engage with your dog when outside in these situations. As an alternative, we have the use of our large, secure field where we can target recalls, practice off lead heelwork and all other important aspects of training in a safe environment where we can control the level and type of distraction.
If you are wanting to work on something specifically at home such as getting the dog calm before leaving the house or getting the dog comfortable with getting in the car. We can come to you and work with you on a Home Visit.
The 1:1 training will always be structured with achievable goals, learning with positive reward-based methods but also having fun with your dog. It is important to mention that we would never promote or practise methods that are violent and could potentially cause your dog harm.
If you are needing help and support with more complex, in-depth issues that need to be resolved, such as reactivity in the house and outside, aggression and separation anxiety. These are all issues that we see and help with on a regular basis and one of our behaviourists would be happy to work you and your dog on these issues in one of our Behaviour Consultations.
Or if your dog is under a year old and you are starting to see a change in behaviour or are wanting to stop unwanted behaviour that has suddenly developed such as barking at dogs when out on a walk or getting over excited and play biting a little too much or too hard we also offer Junior Behaviour Consultations.
