Dog ‘Walk & Train’ Sessions
If you would you like your dog to have some better manners, but are worried you don’t have the time needed, then I can help by picking up your dog and taking them out for a private training session. Not only will they benefit from some interaction during the day, but they are learning at the same time! From leash manners to recalls and more, just ask and we can sort out an option that works for you.
A little one-on-one dog training goes a long way!
Taking your best mate for a walk should be a fun and enjoyable experience. This isn’t always the case, when your dog is pulling on the lead, or the dog beach is hard work because your dog won’t come back when you call them.
Training your dog to cooperate on walks together takes time and patience. If time is scarce in your current lifestyle, I can help with this training while giving your dog a fun, engaging exercise session at the same time.

Build Your Bond With Private Dog Training Lessons
Dogs are no longer just man’s best friend; now we often refer to them as our fur children and are just as important to us as any other member of our family. Building the bond between dog and owner starts when you take advantage of private dog training lessons. I use positive reinforcements while training your pet, ensuring that they enjoy training.
Get Started on the Right Paw
Just as you would potty train your child, teach them how to behave in public and what is socially acceptable, your young pup needs your guidance too. With my private puppy training sessions, I will have your tiny fur baby listening to your every command. Here is more insight into how I can assist you:
Many dog are natural diggers, and if you’ve ever had one as a pet, you know how frustrating it can be to have holes dug into your manicured lawn. With some gentle guidance and training, I’ll show you how to get them out of the habit of creating small craters in your garden.
Have you ever tried to sleep at night but found your fur child won’t stop barking, even though there is no threat or danger nearby? With training , I can teach your pet how to remain calm and bark only when it is important.
Training dogs takes patience and the use of positive reinforcements. When you’re yelling commands at your pet, you’re instilling fear in them and harming your bond. My lessons are just as much for owners as it’s for your pet.
When Is it Time to Call in the Professionals?
As a private dog trainer, I’ve often heard owners say that their pet never acts in a certain way when they take them out. By teaching them to behave at home, you can prevent future incidents. If you’re unsure when to call me, here are some instances when you may require my services:
If you’re planning to bring in a new puppy or older dog, your existing pets may refuse to allow your new addition to become part of the family. With my experience in this area, I can make the transition of bringing in a new pet a smooth one.
There may be potential behavioural problems that may arise in the future, and by allowing me to observe your pet in their home environment, I can prevent them from developing these habits, leaving you and your new puppy happy and well bonded.
With so many abandoned pets in shelters, many dog lovers are opting for adoption, which may bring with some behavioural challenges. Many dogs in shelters may have a negative relationship with humans and need to be taught that you will love and not hurt them. I’ll assist you in building the bond while still keeping your new dog’s behaviour in check.
