Smart Dog Training
My Services
One to One training
Suitable for dogs of any age, one to one training can address issues such as hyperactive or fearful behaviour. We can work on calm greetings, enthusiastic recalls, loose lead walking, focus and engagement, building your dog's confidence and much more.
I offer an assessment session lasting around an hour, followed by three 45 minute training sessions with further blocks of training sessions bookable as needed.
At the assessment we will identify areas that need work, put into place any management to help prevent the undesirable behaviour and I will put together a training plan for the future sessions.
The training sessions will build new behaviours and you and your dog will learn exercises that are tailored to your needs.
Training Walks or Visits
Useful for nervous, reactive or hyperactive dogs, as well as puppies needing extra socialisation.
Training walks or visits are allow me to work one to one with your dog to focus either on a specific training need in the home such as muzzle training, or desensitising to a harness. Or out and about following a training plan to help your dog relax around triggers or walk more calmly on lead.
These walks or visits go at your dog's pace to allow them to become comfortable with me.
A walk or visit is 30 minutes in length as most dogs struggle to focus for more than 30 minutes. If your dog needs to be driven more than 5 minutes to a quieter area, an extra charge will be payable.
This service is is booked in 4 weekly blocks, the first block will include an extra 1 to 1 assessment where we can discuss your dog's needs. You will get a summary and photos of each visit or walk and unlimited email support.
Puppy Preparation Visits
Are you planning to bring a puppy into your home but feeling a little overwhelmed? I can visit to discuss your concerns, help you plan for the first few weeks, give you strategies to minimise the issues that many new owners face and answer any questions you may have.
