This flexible course is designed to help develop trust and connection with your dog. Sessions are fully personalised and tailored to your lifestyle, focusing on real-world skills that make everyday life smoother and outings more fun. I will help you build a life you and your dog love together!
Sessions take place in your home (or a mutually agreed location) with the final session held in a park or outdoor space to practise everything you have learnt so far.
Although these are one-to-one sessions, your dog won’t miss out on social opportunities. In fact, this format allows us to introduce more distractions than they would experience in a class environment, including other dogs, at a pace that supports your dog’s confidence and sets them up for long term success.
What’s Included:
- 4 x One-to-One Sessions (75 minutes each) – Each session is fully tailored to suit your dog’s needs, your goals, and your lifestyle. On the first session we will address any behaviours that you are concerned about so that you can begin to feel more confident right away. Going forward, we can follow a core structure, or we can focus on key areas that are important to you. The course really is centred around you and your dog.
- Learning resources – You will have access to handouts and videos on some of exercises to further support your learning.
- Ongoing support – Throughout the course you can contact me via WhatsApp or email for questions, clarification, or additional support between sessions.
- Real-World Practice – Your final session takes place in an outdoor environment, giving you both the chance to put new skills into practice with real-life distractions.
- Celebration of Success – All graduates receive a certificate and rosette to mark their achievements.
