1-2-1 Training and Pre-Puppy Visits
1-2-1 Sessions
1-2-1 training can be for ANYTHING: the whole point is that it’s built around what you need. Every session is 1 hour long as standard, but we can do more as you need it. And you can have as many or as few sessions as you like. The whole point is that I work around you. We can use this time to work on behaviour issues like anxiety, reactivity to people, other dogs, dog agression or anything else, as well as more basic things like obedience work, agility or a specific skill you want help with.
Every session gives you all the tools you need for your specific issues, and I follow it up with a customised PDF which includes a breakdown of anything we have discussed, a step-by-step exercise list and any progression we have talked about. Obviously, this also comes with backup in terms of email support and quick phonecalls.
Common issues include:
While the list below isn’t exhaustive, it gives you an idea of why you might want to get 1-2-1 training. It could be a mixture of things.
You might want to work on heelwork, but think a class environment might be too much. You may feel that you need help in the home dealing with barking at the door, or an over protective pup. Maybe that pup is perfectly happy, but you really want some 1-2-1 help with recall to really get it solid.
- Stress/Anxiety
- Fear and Reactivity
- Destruction in the home/Chewing
- Separation anxiety
- Resource guarding
- Lack of ‘manners’
- Toilet training
- Recall
- Loose lead
- Appropriate play
- Much more!

Pre-Puppy Visit
The whole point of this service is to make sure you can get the best dog for your family. This service gets us together to talk about what to look for when buying a pup, what questions to ask a breeder and how to check for temperament (as best we can) and working out what owning a dog will look like. Picking the wrong pup from a bad breeder can end up costing you a LOT in terms of vets bills, trips to a behaviourist and in some cases, even losing the pup all together. It’s really important that we can get these first stages right. We include things like:
Health Checks
Meeting the Parents
Equipment
Socialisation
First training
Expectations
At the end of this session I will give you a set of PDFs looking at basic exercises, troubleshooting common problems and giving you some basic information to get started on your new doggo journey! And obviously you have the chance to ask questions, pick my brains and make sure you’re going to get the right dog for your lifestyle.
