I believe 1-2-1 dog obedience training is vital if you are having problems daily with your dog. Puppy classes and socialisation is also essential for dog's to adapt to our world. In my experience being the pack leader to your dog will not only give them respect but they will respect you even more.  Generally speaking, using your body, mind and heart is the basic essentials you need to address to your dog that you're capable of taking charge and that they are in good hands. The key is to reward, praise and only apply affection at the right time.

 

1-2-1 training  is done at the comfort of your own home, not only is it convenient but the most effective environment. After all this is the place your dog spends the most time with you. The 1st session will involve a free one hour consultation, assessing the behaviours and most importantly what you as a owner would like to achieve at the end of the training. Positive rewards can also be highly rewarding for owners as well as the dog. I only use positive reinforcement training to help the dog associate and learn what is right or wrong in your home environment. If the problems are related to pulling on the lead, a personalised plan will be setup in a quiet area of your choice to help control the behaviours.

Dogs have different temperaments and personalities which is why each dog is  tailored to a plan to meet individual requirements and needs. My approach is to help the owner build a better bond with their dog and only use methods that I feel will work for the individual dog.

 

 I normally only work in Shoreham, Portslade, Brighton and Hove areas.  If you live outside of these areas I may consider to travel. Please send me details of the problems you are having with your dog and what you expect to achieve out of the training. Remember to be realistic about your goals, a dog is not a robot and will require time to adapt to new changes or behaviour. My role as a dog obedience trainer is to help train you (the owner) in having a better bond with your loved one.

Our company is insured and covered for Public Liability, Care Custody and Control. We recommend that any dog is insured with third party cover.

Your first session will always be FREE, this 1 hour  assessment will  help me understand the problems you've been having with you dog. This session contains some paper work to help me tailor a plan for your needs.

Sessions after will be 1 hour 15 minutes long,  1 session is charged at £35. Payment must be made at the end of the session either by cash or bank transfer.

Sessions are either monitored weekly, fortnightly or every couple of days depending on the situation.

*Advance booking is recommended, if  you pay for 3 sessions in advance you only pay £90, saving you £15. The saving scheme is setup to help those who need vital training a couple of sessions a week but find it hard to afford.

Please note* Cancellations must be made 24 hours before the session, or the full session will be charged.

I often use clicker training methods and recommend the owner to get one of these before the session.  I can also provide one of these if required. Occasionally I may also provide other training tools depending on whether I feel it be beneficial or not.

This is a service that maybe beneficial to certain clients individual needs. Such as the client is unable to take their dog out during certain times in the week. All dog's must wear a collar and tag stating Owners name, address and a contact number (Control of Dogs Act) - failure to do so could result in a fine of £5000. Only when I have signed permission from the client do I allow dog's to be walked off the lead. Dog Walkers are all police checked and  insured.

A Full 1 and a half hour walk is charged at £15 -  Fresh Water will always be supplied during the walk.

Do not hesitate to e-mail me if you are having issues that require assistance before the next session.

I will be starting a blog in several months time to help owners answer questions. I welcome you to send me any questions you may have. I will answer your questions in future posts.
