Puppy consultation
Things a new owner needs to know (2 hour session)
​
Now you have got your puppy, you may be wondering what you should and should not do to give him the best possible start in life. In this session we discuss and find ways of helping with any difficulties you may be experiencing. We will look at the home set-up and, if necessary, advise on making things easier. We will discuss routine that can help with house-training and other patterns of behaviour. We will talk about preparing the puppy for living happily with his new family and settling into his new world. We will introduce ways of teaching your puppy and building up a bond.
2-hour consultation = £145
Includes written material and ongoing support during puppy training.
Puppy training
Getting started (1 hour sessions after initial puppy consultation)
​
Private sessions are tailor-made to suit you and your puppy. These are ideal if you would like help with basic training before joining a class, and also if you don’t want to join a class but would prefer a private course. The lessons teach you the everyday living and learning with the advantage of having personal instruction, and therefore can focus on specific areas where greater emphasis is needed.
1 hour session/s = £60
Pet dog training
To owners who have not attended the 8 week class, 1st session is 2 hours (at home). Subsequent sessions from 1 hour (progressing to outdoor training).
​
If you can't make weekly group classes on Tuesday nights but want to learn everyday living & learning skills with your dog; If you feel that group classes are not for you and you want to learn on a one-to-one basis; If you feel you need the confidence of an experienced instructor to help you when you go outside; If you would like to discover how to make your walks a time to learn and bond with your dog; then these tailor-made sessions are for you.
1st 2 hours = £160
Subsequent 1 hour session/s = £60

Behavioural training
When things with your companion dog have not gone right, and you are struggling with problem behaviours, for example:
​
-
Excessive barking
-
Lunging at people and dogs
-
Destructive in the house
-
Can’t be left alone
-
Steals food off the kitchen work surfaces
-
Won’t get off the furniture
-
Won’t come back when called
-
Not getting on with the other animals in the family.
Help is needed to find out why the dog is behaving this way and what can be done to resolve it.
​
This involves a behavioural consultation with the owners to discuss their life with their dog and to show them how it can be improved.
Consultations normally take place at the owner’s home. Approximately 5 hours in-person is expected. This can be in one or two sessions.
Cost £350 (pay as you go payment scheme can be discussed).
​
You will receive a personalised written behavioural training programme and ongoing support via phone, email and text whilst you follow your training plan.
