Is this right for my dog?

For dogs moving from puppyhood towards adulthood whose skills need support in everyday situations. We’ll choose suitable goals around your dog’s development and your priorities.

What will we work on?

Every adolescent is different. We’ll tailor your sessions to your dog’s needs, your goals and the challenges you’re facing.

  • Focus and engagement around distractions
  • More reliable recall
  • Relaxed loose lead walking
  • Passing dogs and people calmly
  • Appropriate interactions and greetings
  • Calmness, patience and self-control
  • Confidence through new experiences
  • Understanding adolescent behaviour and how to support your dog

All taught using kind, reward-based training for real-life situations.

How booking works

Tell me your dog’s age, where you live and what you’d like help with. I’ll help you choose suitable support.

Sessions usually last 60–90 minutes. Course appointments are usually 2–4 weeks apart, with exercises to practise between visits.

A £40 deposit secures your booking. Before you book, I’ll confirm the total price, location, balance payment date and booking terms.
