This could include anything from core obedience skills such as Sit, Down, and Recall, to more advanced areas such as agility-type skills, Scentwork, and more, not to mention general troubleshooting for any area of training.

This package gets you off to a great start, covering your initial Assessment Call and your first 1:1 Session! We'll be able to dive right in with your custom training plan in this first session, and you'll have the option to add on more sessions as needed once we've started. Everything is flexible and tailored to you!

How it works
Assessment Call
We'll chat for 30 minutes remotely, covering all the general background information that I'll need in order to put together your custom training plan.
We'll chat through these core questions first, and then we'll move on to your specific issues or goals and discuss this in depth.
Training Plan Created
Following our call, I'll put all of the information gathered together and come up with a fully tailored training plan to suit your goals and needs.
This will include recommendations as to how many subsequent sessions we may need, and starter advice and exercises if applicable.
First 1:1 Session
Once the Assessment has been completed and your training plan is in place, we'll get started with our first 1:1 Session.
In this hour, we'll work together on the exercises and information needed to exercise your training plan and get you closer towards achieving those goals! These sessions happen at your home.

What can training help to resolve?
Common issues that I get asked for help with which we can start to solve from your first 1:1 Session
Puppy Biting
This is probably the most common thing I get asked for help with, and for some it can really be a major issue causing massive amounts of stress and frustration. Fortunately, it's something we can easily start working on from our first session together!
Pulling on the Lead
Pulling on the lead is something that almost every dog does naturally - we'll talk about why this is, and how we can very easily teach them to walk nicely alongside you instead.
Unreliable Recall
A reliable recall is a really important skill for every dog to have, to ensure safety for yourself and others around you. It can be embarrassing and stressful to walk your dog when you can't count on their recall, so let's fix that together!
Barking / Jumping Up
These are two very normal attention-seeking behaviours that can easily drive you crazy! Fortunately, I've got protocols to tackle both with ease.
