There are a variety of options available to help you with your training journey from 121 home visits to telephone or video consultations. Please see below for options.
The typical exercises covered are responses to visual and verbal cues for sit, down, stand, wait/stay, loose lead walking and starting recall training. I also cover things like impulse control and how to implement enrichment activities that are both human and canine led. Calm acceptance of handling and grooming is also discussed and practised for those that need it and a variety of puppy issues such as mouthing, jumping up, housetraining and learning to settle are also talked through.
I can tailor your training sessions to the specific areas you need help with and if your preference is to use a clicker for training or you would like to add in teaching some tricks then this can also be accommodated! I like working with families that have youngsters keen to get involved and would be happy to guide them in training, games and appropriate interactions to build confidence and a strong bond.

If a home visit is not possible then 1hr video consultations are available. During the pandemic this method of offering training became not only necessary but popular to help with those early puppy training issues!
Still available, I use Zoom, Teams or WhatsApp video calls to offer this form of training. I use my own dogs as demo dogs and will guide you through training your pup.

As with home visits or video calls, supporting handouts are sent as required and a brief summary of points discussed is emailed following the call.
