🐾SPECIALISED TRAINING🐾
Tailored support for dogs with additional needs
At Leaps and Bounds, we are proud to offer Specialised Training for dogs with physical, sensory, or psychological challenges.
These bespoke sessions are designed to support dogs who may need a different approach to learning, helping owners build confidence, communication, and practical life skills.
We Can Help Dogs With:
🐶 Hearing impairment or deafness
🐶 Visual impairment or blindness
🐶 Age-related hearing or sight loss
🐶 Recovery from illness or injury
🐶 Physical limitations or mobility concerns
🐶 Severe nervousness or confidence issues
🐶 Separation anxiety
🐶 Fear-based aggression
🐶 Stress-related behaviours
Training for Deaf or Blind Dogs
Dogs who cannot rely on normal visual or audible cues need a different style of communication and training.
Don’t panic – training an impaired dog is absolutely achievable with the right support. We will equip you with the tools to communicate clearly and effectively using alternative reward systems, body language, touch cues, scent cues, and positive reinforcement.
These sessions often focus on:
✅ Attention and engagement
✅ Responsiveness to cues
✅ Safe distance work
✅ Confidence building
✅ Preventing accidents or harm
✅ Building trust and independence
Psychological & Behavioural Support
Some behavioural concerns can be worsened by medical issues or physical changes. We work with you and your dog using kind, effective methods such as:
✔ Behaviour modification
✔ Counter conditioning
✔ Desensitisation
✔ Confidence building exercises
✔ Calm management strategies
Our aim is to help your dog feel safer, calmer, and more secure in everyday life.
Muzzle Training Support
We also offer professional muzzle training, helping owners understand that muzzles are not only for reactive dogs. They can also be useful for:
🐶 Dogs who scavenge unsafe items on walks
🐶 Dogs recovering from injury or surgery
🐶 Dogs needing to meet travel or legal requirements
🐶 Dogs who need extra management in busy places
We can help with:
✅ Choosing the right style of muzzle
✅ Correct sizing and fit
✅ Positive introduction training
✅ Building comfort and confidence wearing it
💬 Kind, Practical & Individual Support
Every dog deserves the chance to thrive, no matter their challenges. Our specialised sessions are tailored to your dog’s needs and your goals.
