Our Training Services Are As Follows:
Dog Behavioural Assessments and Training:
Conduct comprehensive assessments to understand your dog’s unique needs and behaviour, creating tailor-made training plans rooted in evidence-based methods and the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) principle. This approach ensures training is effective, humane, and builds trust between you and your dog.
Puppy Training and Early Socialisation:
Provide structured sessions for puppies, focusing on essential skills, confidence-building, and safe early socialisation. The programme incorporates established psychological principles to help your puppy thrive from the start.
Scentwork Programmes:
As a certified Scentwork Specialist, offer engaging scentwork activities that harness your dog’s innate sense of smell, boosting focus, confidence, and enrichment. Suitable for all breeds, scentwork is ideal for mental stimulation and problem-solving.
Canine Reactivity Specialist Support:
Deliver expert-led, compassionate training for dogs that struggle with reactivity (be it towards people, other dogs, or stimuli) using structured, positive reinforcement plans designed to reduce stress and improve behaviour in real-life situations.
Loose Lead Walking and Recall:
Teach practical, real-world skills such as loose lead walking and reliable recall, using friendly techniques and clear communication. These sessions are designed to create enjoyable walks and a stronger, safer bond.
Enrichment and Behavioural Health:
Guide owners in providing enrichment and mental stimulation through custom activities, games, and practical everyday strategies. This supports emotional balance and prevents problem behaviours.
First Aid and Wellbeing Advice:
Offer qualified pet first aid guidance and dog care recommendations, covering injury prevention, emergency scenarios, and general health to give owners peace of mind.
Law and Ownership Guidance:
With professional knowledge of dog law, advise clients on responsible ownership, local regulations, and safeguarding to ensure happy, safe relationships within the community.
