What is Dog Training? 
​'The application of scientific principles to modify an animals behaviour for the ultimate benefit of both the animal and the owner' (James Serpell, 'The Domestic Dog; Its evolution, behaviour and interactions with people: Cambridge University press, 1995)

I offer a variety of training options. One to One training within your home, at my training site or in your local area. I provide basic training for puppies, progressing onto intermediate and more advanced training. Before any agility training I will do an initial assessment of the level of general obedience your dog has to see where we need to focus our training efforts. In order to compete at sports or even as a general hobby a good level of general obedience is required. I also really enjoy teaching tricks, which can be great as a party pleaser or even to help around the house! I even offer day training, which is a great alternative to regular dog walking or day care because your dog will get to travel with me through the day with many opportunities for training, either on their own, or in the company of other sociable dogs. You can book for whole day or half day training.
The work will use positive reinforcement, re-direction and gentle correction. We will use various motivators dependent on what your dog responds to. I am also able to introduce clicker training if required. If you are outside of my local area, I will charge travel costs.​

Dog walking

  • Basic Dog walks
  • ​Training Walks
  • ​Socialisation walks
I offer reliable and trustworthy walking within 3 miles of my location. I will not walk dogs from different households together unless I know the dogs have the right characters for it and owners are happy to do this. I can walk up to 2 dogs together and there will be a discount applied to each consecutive dog from within the same family. I am happy to work with puppies, elderly dogs and even reactive/aggressive dogs after an initial assessment to see if I feel your dog would be a suitable candidate. I am happy to sit in on a behavioural session and if your dog is under-going any specific training, I am happy to implement it on our walks. I may charge a little extra if I am having to do this as these then become 'training walks'. I can also offer socialisation walks which involve travelling to various locations to gain some positive socialising for your young dog. These can be done at any age as socialising is something that is ongoing, not just for young puppies. Obviously due to the nature of travel times, these sessions will cost more than an average dog walk. Please get in touch for this vital service.
