Our Services
-

Puppy Training
For puppies aged 8–14 weeks. This is the most important window in your puppy’s development, so we start setting up good habits from day one. In-home sessions cover toileting, sleeping arrangements, socialisation and everyday behaviours, in the place your puppy is learning them.
-

Basic Obedience
For dogs 14 weeks and older. We build your dog’s core skills and give you a practical toolkit for addressing minor problem behaviours, redirecting your dog away from unwanted habits and towards the behaviours you want. Training is reward-based, using proven classical and operant conditioning methods.
-

Standard Behavioural Training
For common behaviour problems around the home, such as inconsistent toileting, jumping on visitors, reacting to noises or movement at home, feeding and sleeping routines, and walking on the lead. We work in your home so we can see what’s really happening and build a plan that suits your dog and your family.
-

Advanced Behavioural Training
For more significant behavioural concerns, including separation anxiety, reactivity to people or dogs outside the home, persistent noise complaints, and introducing a new or rescue dog into your household. These consults take a deeper look at the cause of the behaviour and set out a structured plan to help your dog become calmer and more settled.
