1 to 1 sessions for training and behaviour modification

For some dogs classes are not the right choice…

  • Your dog may have very specific problems which are not covered in class or may not be fully covered by a term of classes
  • Your dog might be fearful, anxious or overwhelmed with other dogs/people and so not be able to cope in a general class
  • You have issues that only occur on a dog walk and so wouldn’t be seen in class (such as distraction and no recall from bird chasing)
  • You are unable to attend classes due to the timing of classes
  • You may live away from our immediate area, and still want our help to address your specific issues
  • You may need to sort out your dog’s behavioural problems before being able to attend classes

In these instances, we recommend a 1: 1 session. These are generally in person although we can offer these remotely.

What does this involve and how do I book?
Initially you should choose how many sessions you would like to book. Booking a multi session package  of 2 or 3 sessions offers a discount and allows us to put in place some initial changes for you to work on, then follow up sessions to work on these in different and more challenging environments or work with other members of the family.

Travel time will be charged for visits outside of the East Kent area but this will be agreed between us before the visit.

You will then complete an information form – please complete as much information as you can as this means we have more time on our initial session together.  If necessary, I will contact you to get any more information I may require, or to recommend a full vet check before our appointment.

Please ensure you give the full address and postcode of where you would like us to meet.

What happens in the session?

I will come to the agreed location (usually your home initially) and we will discuss any recent changes and then create a plan to move forward with which fits your family, lifestyle and commitments. I will spend time demonstrating and/or coaching you in what to do so that you are happy with what is involved.

What happens before the next session?

I will email any relevant handouts/supporting materials to you after the session to support your teaching at home.

The more short sessions of practice you can do, the better! Once you are ready, you can book a follow up session.
