Very Important Pets Wiltshire

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 it’s important he’s 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 what’s 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 – positive reward based training – 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.

Usually for one to one dog training we advise you book a block of 4 sessions to get the most out of the training. 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.
• Or why not try some fun trick training with your dog to help build your relationship grow stronger!
