Want help with dog training goals?
Maybe your dog pulls like a sledge dog or doesn't come when they're called, and you'd like my help to work on their obedience & enjoy stress-free walks together?
Personalised Plan
My private training sessions focus on your training goals through fun reward-based games and exercises taking into consideration your lifestyle, requirements and breed's needs.
In general, we cover topics including:
-
Building focus, connection and impulse control.
-
Key skills such as walking nicely on a lead, recall and whistle training.
-
I also have specialist knowledge of introducing Dog Sports such as Agility, Pet Gundog Training and tracking that provide an appropriate channel for their energy and instincts by offering mental and physical stimulation.
How Individual Training Sessions Work
Step 1: Initial Consultation | Step 2: Regular Sessions |
Before we meet in person, you'll need to book an initial consultation. The onboarding form will ask a few more questions than when booking a regular session to help me tailor the session to your needs and create a personalised plan. During these sessions, we will start working on exercises toward your training goals. Book Now |
Working with me on an individual basis, you can expect to meet regularly for in-person sessions focusing on your goals and progress at your own pace. Taking a clear and friendly approach, I give you a plan to get you from "A to B" in simple progressive layers with plenty to practice in between and am on hand to answer any questions should you need it.

These can be 30 or 45 minutes, depending on your preference, how long you and your dog can focus, and how much you'd like to take away to practice in one session.
If after reading through you still have questions, please do get in touch. Either, fill out the contact form here. Or, book a quick call to discuss your dog, training needs and services available to help you on your training journey.

FAQ: Why be supported by an individually tailored 121 instead of a course?
When you enrol on traditional courses you are committing to a fixed block of classes and will be limited by a generalised programme; in contrast 121s fit around you, your schedule, and individual requirements.
I often meet owners, particularly those with working breeds, who previously struggled to succeed in large indoor groups conducted for a long duration of time or failed to apply the lessons outdoors when faced with real-world distractions.
All our training is conducted outdoors, in realistic environments, and broken down into manageable, bite-size steps, with plenty to practise in between.
With my coaching, you have a trainer in your pocket to have any questions answered, hassle-free via ongoing email support.
By working with a professional accredited by an externally verified body like The Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) you can be assured that their training is up to date, science-based training methods that are proven to be effective and that have your dog’s welfare at heart because members of such organisations are assessed and have ongoing checks.
ADWs Emma obtained a distinction in her IMDT membership exams by demonstrating practical skill and theoretical knowledge; continued learning and development is an annual requirement to maintain this status, so Emma’s experience is ever expanded through courses and qualifications.
Unfortunately, the dog training industry is unregulated, making it difficult to place the same level of trust in all trainers. Therefore, we would encourage you to check a trainer's accreditation with a professional organisation before working with them, as many trainers self-accredit without any external validation.
