Tailored Private Dog Training for Adults | One-on-One Obedience Solutions
Addressing Your Dog's Training Challenges
Does your dog:
- Pull on the Lead, making walks challenging?
- Loose Focus Easily around other dogs, wildlife, or new environments?
- Struggle with Recall – making off-lead freedom a stressful experience?
I know these are common frustrations, and my one-on-one training is designed to help you and your dog enjoy a more relaxed and rewarding bond. We’ll work together on tailored, effective solutions so you can feel confident in every walk and every recall.
My Personalised Approach to Private Dog Training
As a certified dog trainer with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT), I focus on practical, results-driven techniques, designed to build a calm, cooperative, and lasting relationship with your dog. Every session is uniquely tailored to help you overcome specific challenges and reach the goals that matter most to you.
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.

Success Stories
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Started with a couple of 1-2-1 sessions with our one year old collie to help with her attention to us and impulse control... By the end of the course we’d gone from a dog that ran off to play with others at every opportunity to a dog that had found love and enthusiasm for the sport, that actually listened to us, could run a course and not leg it at the end! ... We’ve seen massive improvements at agility club and at home in her behaviour and energy levels... It’s the best thing we’ve done since getting our collie puppy a year ago!"

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 re-enact 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 message support.
How often are training sessions?
Typically, sessions are scheduled once per week, giving you time to practice and reinforce skills. However, I’m happy to adjust the frequency based on your needs and availability.
What can I expect from a private training program?
- Weekly, in-person sessions that target your specific goals
- A personalised training plan and video notes after each session
- Video feedback and support on your progress between sessions
- WhatsApp support for questions and guidance as needed
