One-to-One Training - 5 weeks, with a handover session to keep progress going.
Our new One-to-One Dog Training Packages are designed to make training simple, effective, and stress-free for both you and your dog. Open to new and exisiting customers. If you dog is already with us for their regular care, it makes things even easier. Your pup can enjoy dedicated one-on-one sessions with our experienced trainer - no distractions, no group pressure, just focused learning tailored to their individual needs.
Each programme runs over five weeks, with your dog attending four weekly sessions after an initial assessment. In the fifth week, you’ll join your dog and our trainer for a full owner handover session. This unique final step gives you hands-on guidance and personalised resources so you can confidently continue their progress at home, ensuring long-lasting results
We offer two packages:
Ideal for puppies and adult dogs needing foundational skills, the Good Dog Basics package teaches your dog the essentials for polite, well-mannered behaviour both at home and in public. Over five weeks, they’ll learn loose-lead walking, calm greetings, reliable recall, obedience cues, and good manners around gates and doors. Each skill is taught through positive, reward-based methods that build focus and confidence. This package is perfect for setting your dog up for everyday success.
Designed for high-energy, working-breed, or anxious dogs, our Steady Paws package helps channel excess energy into calm focus and fun. Your dog will build confidence and resilience through a variety of mentally stimulating games, enrichment activities, and obedience exercises. From problem-solving puzzles to scent work, agility, and tracking games, every session is tailored to engage both mind and body—making this the perfect choice for dogs needing an outlet or a confidence boost.
Before starting any training, we recommend a Training Needs Assessment — a 30-minute one-to-one consultation for our Trainer get to know you and your dog. This session helps us understand your dog’s personality, behaviour, and training goals so we can create a personalised plan that truly fits their needs. It’s required for all new training clients (but not for existing daycare or boarding dogs), but if you’d like, you’re welcome to book this assessment first to help choose the best training package for your dog.
