About our in Person Dog Training Services
1-2-1 Dog Training & Behaviour – Pay-As-You-Go
I offer 1-2-1 Training session’s with dog and owner to work on any issues that the dog may be struggling with. Sessions available for any age, breed, or training problem. These sessions are usually carried out within the dog’s own home or an arranged outdoor area (Depending on the areas you wish to cover on the session). My training sessions are bespoke and can cover anything from Puppy training all the way to senior dog. I do however specialize in Rescue dog rehabilitation, training your puppy for success, training blind dogs, working dogs and lead frustration etch.
Bespoke 1-2-1 Puppy Training session’s – Pay-As-You-Go
Our 1 to 1 puppy training sessions to give your puppy the best start in life, learn new skills and help you to understand how to care for, train and understand your puppy.
We cover everything from toilet training, puppy mouthing, basic training and impulse control, socialisation (its not just about meeting other dogs!), walking/Heelwork skills, recall work, advice on mental stimulation tasks and games, how to enrich your puppies life and much more! You will be able to pick and chose which things you would like covered on the sessions.
Prices start from just £70 per session for a course or £80 per session for one off appointments (depending on the issues you are expericing and the severity of the un-wanted behaviours.)
These sessions last around an hour to hour and a half, they include a follow up telephone consultation and check up a few weeks after the session. I also provide added support, if required, via call or messages.
Loose lead walking and off lead Recall Training sessions – Pay-As-You-Go
These sessions are 1-2-1 with owner and dog and can either be to improve your dog’s walking on the lead or improve your dog’s recall off the lead. We all know how great our dogs training can be within their home or quiet outdoor place, but what about once we start adding distractions such as birds, people, dogs, deer etc. Will your dog still have full focus on you? Will your dog still walk with a loose lead or call back?
This is a very common issue, dogs struggle to focus in higher distraction areas. As an owner, dogs have to be taught how to cope with these sitations. These sessions all include training their focus and attention outdoors under distraction.
Dog Lead pulling is one of the main dog training issues and most serious! Your dog pulling isnt just annoying or frustrating its also physically harning for the dog and owner. Most dog injures are from “Slip and Falls” when a dog catches the owner off guard and pulls them over. This can lead to broken bones, shoulder dislocations, whiplash etc. Not only this but even just regular consistent lead pulling can lead to serious injury for you and the dog such as Dislocations, muscle damage, ligament tears, throat damage, exessive joint wear and tear, ripped nails and cut paws. Its so important to get your dog back on track with their lead walking for both of your mental and physical health. At the training session I will Design and Implement a dog training programs, assess individual dogs and provide bespoke training plans.
These Sessions are from £80 each.
Puppy Life Skills Course (Block of three) – Includes Certificate of Completion £210
This covers everything you need to know from toilet training to recall giving your dogs a good start in life, avoid as many issues as possible later in life and support your dog into adolescence. This course includes extensive theory and practical work. Each block is tailored to every individual dog, their strengths, weaknesses, their breed, their temperment and for their specific future aspiration’s (wither that be a family pet, a working home, a therapy dog, a dog whos owners want to travel with their dogs, use dog friendly accomodations/venues/cafe’s with a happy and relaxed dog).
The block is discounted to £70 per session which is £210 for the full course depending on your location. Payment must be made in full for the whole course at time of booking.
1-2-1 Loose Lead Walking Course – Block Booking
The course is a set of three sessions as there will be a lot to cover and homework for you to do between the sessions. The course is designed to work with you and your dog teaching skills such as loose lead walking, how to pass/greet/interact with other dogs and people, listening skills around distractions, no jumping around people( if needed) etc. The course is tailored to you and your dogs needs so can be adjusted for your needs and dogs current ability.
This course is not suitable for dog aggression cases, these would be a different session type.
Each session lasts an hour to hour and a half. They are held outdoors at Dalzell house in motherwell for real life environment training rather than classroom training.
The course is three sessions which are held a couple of weeks apart to allow you time to train between sessions. This also means I can support you if needed between sessions and progress the training based on your dogs learning at each session.
The course finishes with a personalised certificate.
The course is £210 for all three sessions. All courses are a £40 deposit on booking and the final payment is made at the first session for the course.
I also offer specific courses such as the 1-2-1 Loose Lead walking course or the 1-2-1 recall skills course. These are 3 x outdoor tailored sessions focusing on outdoor handler focus, dog interaction skills, how to pass distraction, Loose lead walking skills or recall skills depending on the course chosen.

“Over excited Greeters” and Lead frustration Sessions
If you struggle with your dog being over excited in the house or out on walks (especially when meeting other people/dogs) then we offer 1-2-1 training sessions or video calls to work on this.
