Happy dogs need happy training methods and we only ever use positive reinforcement training that rewards good behaviour. You will find no punishment, pain or fear here. Research has shown that reward-based training is the best way for dogs to learn and to retain that learning long-term, and our experience shows that this is the fastest and best way to build a happy dog and strong family relationship.

Early socialisation, play and training is crucial for puppies to develop into happy, confident, well-trained dogs.
This 1 to 1 bespoke 6 week training plan will set you up for a happy relationship long into the future.
Research has shown that early socialisation, play and training is crucial for puppies to develop into happy, confident, well-trained dogs. Focussing on this key stage will help you avoid future behavioural problems, form a strong bond with your puppy, and ensure that your fur baby turns into a contented and loved member of the family. The Happy Puppy bespoke training programme supports you through the puppy training and socialisation process through home visits and a bespoke training plan.
The programme focuses on basic obedience such as sit, down and settle, solving common puppy problems such as jumping up, biting and chewing, reliable recall and loose lead walking.
The Happy Puppy training programme is a great way to prepare your puppy for joining our pack walks when they are older.
Puppy visits are also available for when you need to be away from your puppy.
If you’re planning to receive your new puppy soon, our Preparing for your new Puppy session might also be useful!

Have your dog walks become a drag? Rediscover your love of walking with your dog with this package.
Have your walks become more of a drag? Are you being pulled over or getting home with an arm that has been nearly pulled out of its socket? Are you unable to walk your dog any more? Would you like to enjoy your walks again? This package is for you!
Enjoyable walks for you and your dog are such an important part of a fulfilled life for all involved. I love training loose lead walking and the freedom and happiness that brings to your family! Let me help you get there with this package that provides you with six in-person sessions and written training plans.
Reliable recall allows both you and your dog more freedom to enjoy open spaces in a safe way. Build your dog's motivation to return to you every time you call.
Does your dog have selective hearing when it comes to their recall? Are they motivated to return to you sometimes but not always? Do they run in the opposite direction when they hear you call? Don’t fear, this package contains all the necessary skills, tips and games to build your pup’s rocket recall!
I’ll work with you across 3 training sessions to build your dog’s motivation to return to you using canine psychology, their natural prey drive, and a clear plan for progression.
Does your dog cower, bark, lunge or growl at other dogs, people or cars? Then our behavioural support to reduce reactivity is designed for you and your dog.
Does your dog cower, bark, lunge or growl at other dogs, people or cars? Do you have to pick your walk locations and times based on avoiding seeing people or dogs? Then our behavioural support to reduce reactivity is designed for you and your dog.
We use the latest in dog psychology to help modify your dog’s response to their trigger using positive and reward-based methods. Only by understanding and addressing the cause of reactivity can unwanted behaviours be consistently replaced with calm, happy dogs.
Reactivity behaviour modification starts with an assessment session where I can meet you and your dog, discuss their behavioural issues and training needs with you, and put together a plan for moving forward.
Assessment sessions last about an hour and can be held at your home, at my training field, or via zoom.
Let me take the strain... training your dog on a walk with instructions for you to follow up and practise at your own pace.
I pick up your dog from your home and take them for a 45 minute training walk alone with me.
Common training walks include learning how to walk on a lead without pulling (loose lead walking), recall, and basic obedience (sit, down, stay, settle etc).
Following my training walk with your dog, you will receive a full report so that you can continue to practise the skills that I have taught them.
Building on our Puppy or Key Skills packages, we'll build your pups confidence with important real world skills, new tricks and more, tailored to your needs.
