Whether you are planning to get a new puppy or an older dog and want to start off on the right foot or are already experiencing issues or problems with your puppy or adult dog, a one to one home visit or a session at my training venue is often the best way to instigate training and management regimes to overcome the issues.

Observing the problem behaviour in the environment where it is occurring, usually within the home, is the best way to address the problems as they are occurring and I can work with you to develop a training/management plan to overcome the problems.

Some of the training needs that I am often asked to help with are:

I will either travel to you for the initial consultation or we may need to meet at my secure private training venue at Bredgar, depending on what issues or problems you are having with your dog. This initial session will typically last for 2 hours depending on the problems and issues. We will discuss the issues and training needs and commence with the training methods and principles that you can use to carry out daily training sessions.

Training methods are tailored to suit your individual needs & I only employ established & proven positive reinforcement techniques utilizing food, toys & clicker. I will be honest and realistic with my assessment and training plan, taking into account what you wish to achieve, the issues surrounding your dog and the time available to you.

Depending on the training needs, it is possible that follow-up sessions and visits may be required. However, it is obviously your decision as to how often you use my services, but you should give consideration to the fact that not all issues are solved within one session.

My fees are set at a competitive rate to make it affordable for you so that you can continue with further training sessions to achieve the results you require and all clients are encouraged to telephone me to discuss any problems as well as to report positive progress of the training plans etc free of charge.
