OUR ONE-TO-ONE DOG TRAINING TEACHES YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW TO ENSURE YOUR DOG IS ALWAYS WELL BEHAVED AND HAPPY
- Why not book individual training on a one to one basis to help you with anything from basic puppy training to recall and loose lead walking?
Training takes place at your home where your dog is most able to concentrate and then continue outdoors to the park if required as training progresses.
To enjoy a happy, rewarding relationship with your dog itās important heās well trained, well-behaved and knows what you want from him.
Our experienced dog trainers give you all the tips, advice and guidelines you need to help you understand how your dog learns, what makes him tick and what he needs from you. And whatās more we ensure our one on one dog training sessions are great fun for you and your dog.
Our experienced and professional dog trainers only use up-to-date training methods ā positive reward based training ā which are kind and fair to dogs.
Our One to One Dog Training is carried out with one of our trainers in your own home. We will visit you at a prearranged time for each session.

Each session is carried out with you and your dog approximately once per week for a 4 week period. Each session we will build on the training and progress the exercises. The first 3 sessions would be at your home and the last one in a local park to put everything into practice.
SOME EXAMPLES OF THINGS YOU COULD LEARN WITH YOUR DOG DURING ONE TO ONE TRAINING WOULD BE:
- Basic sit, stay, down, come, heel, and leave it for beginners or puppies.
- For the more advanced dogs, walking off-lead using heelwork, proofing the basic commands and working at a distance.
- Or help in dealing with unwanted behaviours such as barking, chewing, digging and jumping up.
