DOG TRAINING

We meet in your home to go over your set up and routine. We discuss issues and where they occur – in home or at the park or on walks. Your dog will start to learn new behaviours in a quiet and familiar environment, before practising on walks or in the park if required.

 

We cover a combination of learning theory and practical dog training. I will help you to understand your dogs behaviour and body language and give you a plan of action with written exercises.

 

The initial consultation is 1-1.5 hours. We usually finish within this time, but if we need longer, I will happily stay until everyone is comfortable with the training plan.

 

Steps we take are:

  • Assess your dog and the environment

  • Discuss training options and alternate behaviours you would prefer, to ensure the tailored training program will be practical and feasible for you to implement

  • Demonstrate the exercises so you and your dog know how to do them and what to practice

  • Discuss the training plan and send you a written plan with exercises
