One-to-one and in-home dog training

Training tailored to the whole picture

Dogs learn and behave differently depending on their genetics, temperament, motivation, history, arousal and environment. One-to-one training gives us space to assess those factors and teach a route that fits the dog and owner in front of us.

Sessions focus on useful everyday outcomes rather than exercises that only work in a quiet training setting. The goal is to leave you with clearer communication and work you can continue consistently between sessions.

What one-to-one training can help with

Individual support can be suitable for behaviour problems, training gaps or a combination of both.

• Reactivity, aggression and over-arousal
• Loose-lead walking, recall and engagement
• Settling, place work and impulse control
• Household boundaries and visitor management
• Rescue-dog confidence and new routines
• Puppy foundations
• High-drive working breeds

In-home training where behaviour happens

For guarding, settling difficulties, destructive behaviour, owner guarding, visitor problems or multi-dog tensions, seeing the home environment can help identify patterns and pressure points that are not visible elsewhere.
