I will provide private practical lessons instructing you how to train your dog. The session can be held at your home, nearby park or in our garden depending on your training needs. This service is suitable for working on basic skills such as how to walk nicely on the lead, to teach a sit or a down, work on recall, jumping up or mild reactivity cases. Its advisable to book a training bundle for continued support, good progress and the best results.

​

Depending on the issue, I could also train your dog myself, and afterwards show what I have taught your dog and how you can keep up & develop your dog’s new skills.

Dog Behavioural Consultation

Does your dog guard it’s food or toys? Go mad when it sees other dogs? Afraid of fireworks, people, dogs? Soil the house? Follow you everywhere? Destroy the house when left  alone?

This service is suitable for solving behavioural problems that need in-depth analysis and special expertise to make a rehabilitation plan. Many behavioural issues arise from health problems, thus it is advisable to have a health check prior to an behavioural assessment.

Separation issues

​

Problems with being left alone are very common and require  relatively intensive training programme to solve. Therefore, I have developed a consultation & training  package consisting of four one hour sessions either at your home or online (which ever is the most suitable).

​

Firstly, I will analyse, which of the four main types of separation related issues is the root cause of the problem, and then I work together with you whilst you implement the modification programme over four consecutive weeks.  In addition, I offer free phone or email/WhatsApp support for three months after the last week of training. The fee for the four week package is £299 (£90 deposit to be paid before the first session).

Home Boarding &  Day Care for dogs

​

I am licensed to care for up to five guest dogs at my home by Rushcliffe Borough Council with 5 star licence for 3 years (2022-2024)(Licence number AWL0009)

​

Home Boarding:  £30/dog for 24hr (£50/two dogs). Minimum booking is two nights. Free test stay of 2hr. Test night required for new clients (by law, normal  fee applies).

​

Day Care:  £23/dog per day. We do not offer discounts for half days, as each dog takes one of our five places /day allowed by the licence.

​

Home Boarding & Day Care: Please note that we currently only take dogs over one year of age and who are not very boisterous due to my own dog getting old and finding the youngsters a bit too much. However, if you have a particularly calm and polite dog under one year old, please get in touch and we can arrange a meet and greet to assess his/her suitability. Thank you.

​

Before a booking with a new customer is confirmed, a greet and meet is always arranged to see if your dog(s) like(s) mine, and to give you an opportunity to meet us and see the property.

​

To avoid upset tummies, please bring the food your dog is used to, enough to last the whole stay. You do not have to bring any treats and chews, as they are included in the price (given with your consent only).

Annual booster vaccinations for all guest dogs are required by the law. Kennel cough vaccination is recommended, but not compulsory. I also require up-to-date flea & worming treatments.

 In case of an illness or an injury of a dog in my care, I will seek veterinary care for the pet as soon as possible. The owner is responsible for any financial cost of veterinary treatment due to an pre-existing or sudden illness, as my insurance covers accidental incidents only. If an owner requires a dog to be exercised off of the lead, the owner shall assume full responsibility in the event of any loss or damage, howsoever caused.

 A 20% deposit applies to home boarding, payable within two weeks of booking being made (after meet & greet). The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. 

​

Payments by online banking, check, card or cash. Cards accepted are MasterCard, Visa, Maestro, American Express, also V Pay, and contactless, Android Pay and Apple Pay. Cheques need to be cleared prior to the start of the service.

On Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve & New Year’s Day, the fee for Home Boarding is 200% of the normal rate.

​

Dog Training

How to teach my dog to walk nicely on the lead? How to stop my dog jumping up? How to teach my dog to come back when called? Are you looking for help and advice on any of these questions or perhaps something else? l am happy to help you to achieve your goals and thus more enjoyable daily life with your dog!

I use modern dog training techniques that are kind and dog friendly. Reward-based training methods are more efficient and more ethical as they teach a dog what he can do, rather than punish him for what he should not do. Dogs trained with positive methods are happy, confident, and relaxed, and keen to interact with you. When you build a bond based upon mutual trust, you get the most out of your relationship with your dog!

​

Each dog-owner pair is unique. I can help your training needs whether you have a new addition to your family such as a puppy or a rescue dog, or just need help to train your dog’s basic manners and life skills. During the first one-to-one session, I will help you to get started with training methods that suit you and your dog. 

Like with any new skill, to learn how to implement my instructions, you might need  some practice. Thus, the most efficient way to get results is to first have an initial session where the training needs of your dog are assessed, and you are introduced to the training techniques you need to train your dog.

Then, it is essential to  book at least one additional 30-60 min session within a week or two to discuss any problems you have had in applying the methods ‘in real life’ and to finetune your training skills. Otherwise, when things do not go as expected, you might just come to a conclusion that the training does not work and give up, when all that is needed is a bit of additional guidance to help you to succeed! To achieve the best results, multiple sessions are recommended. Thus, I offer training bundles with discounted price for 2-6 sessions.

​

Often, it can be easier for you if your dog already has some basic skills to build on. Therefore, I can also train your dog myself to start with before showing you how to go forward. This can be at your home, on a walk or with the dog staying at my house.

To make sure you get all the help you need along the way, I also offer free phone and online (WhatsApp or email) support during your whole training journey with me and two weeks after the last session.

I offer one-to-one sessions for £49/hr or £25/30min, with discounted prices for multiple sessions (See Prices). Also, check out my special discounted package for puppies!

My approach stems from my professional background in research on animal behaviour and my practical experience in dog training. I have had dogs for over 30 years, and I have trained my dogs for and competed in working trials. During my years in dog sports, I have also volunteered as a dog training instructor. Due to my extensive experience with various dogs, I have the confidence and skills required to handle all dogs.
