Obedience training, help and advice. I have been working with and training dogs since 1987. I am a Guild of Dog Trainers, Master Trainer, as well as a fully qualified member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (1070) and the Animal Behaviour Training Council; three of the United Kingdom’s leading positive reinforcement-based puppy and dog training organisations.
Obedience training and guidance. How I can help you? Using simple, straightforward praise, reward methods, based on proven research and many years of experience, I will work with you to improve the level of obedience that you currently have with your dog.
Some examples of the obedience training I can help you with. (Please note this refers to obedience training, not behavioural challenges).
How to communicate effectively with your dog – Sit, down and/or stand – Pulling on the lead – Recall -Retrieve – Drop and/or leave it – Polite greeting at home and when out – Whistle work – Distance control.
How many training sessions are needed? There is no minimum or maximum number of training sessions stipulation, it is entirely up to you; the costs below are just for your information.
Options: I can come to you and see you and your dog at home or you can come to me, or a combination of both, see details below.
Home visit: Coming to see you at home first makes the establishment of a training program more accurate as it ensures a consistent approach when at home, as well as when out. Ideally this would be with as many of the people that have daily contact with the dog in question. I anticipate any further training will take place at your home or outside in venues local to your home and convenient to you.

Covid 19 measures, terms and conditions. Below is the information that I give everyone that I am seeing or working with on an individual basis in order to try and keep everyone involved in the consultation/training as safe as possible; please do read them and be sure that you are comfortable with and can implement the terms and conditions.
Strict 2m distancing measures outside and within the home will be in place at all times. I will wear a face mask while in your home if required and/or requested.
It is possible for the Covid19 virus to be on a dog’s coat and therefore it can be transferred between people contacting with the dog. As a result, there will be no touching or contact between me, your dog, it’s lead or any other equipment.
If at any stage it appears that it is not safe to start or continue the home visit or lesson, I will stop it immediately.
Accepting an appointment is based on the agreement that these terms will be upheld and implemented.
All of the above is subject to modification and alteration.
