One-to-One Dog Training

Personalised. Practical. Focused on Your Goals.

Real Training. Real Results. Built Around You.

Are you dealing with lead pulling, poor recall, barking at other dogs, or general disobedience? Every dog and owner is different — and one-to-one dog training is the most effective way to address your dog’s behaviour in a focused, tailored, and practical way.

I offer fully personalised sessions that target your specific needs, work with your schedule, and take place in the environments your dog struggles with most — whether that’s at home, on walks, in town, or around other dogs.

Why One-to-One Dog Training Works

Group classes can be distracting and generic. With one-to-one sessions, we can:

  • Focus on your exact training goals

  • Work at your dog’s pace without pressure

  • Address specific behavioural issues as they arise

  • Train in your everyday environment (home, park, beach, town)

  • Build a stronger, trust-based relationship between you and your dog

Whether your dog needs to improve leash manners, overcome fear, or master recall, one-to-one training creates lasting change in the places where it matters most.

Common Issues We Address

Each session is built around your dog’s needs and your daily routines. Common areas of focus include:

  • Lead pulling or lunging on walks

  • Ignoring recall in parks or open spaces

  • Reactivity toward dogs, people, or noise

  • Overexcitement when visitors arrive

  • Barking at fences or out the window

  • Lack of focus in busy areas (town, events, outdoor cafés)

  • Separation anxiety or difficulty settling at home

  • Basic obedience and consistent commands (sit, down, stay, come, heel)

No problem is too small or too advanced — every dog can learn better behaviour with the right approach and environment.

Key Skills Taught in One-to-One Sessions

Obedience and Control
Dogs learn reliable cues like sit, stay, recall, down, leave it, and heel — with increasing levels of distraction based on your dog's progress.

Focus and Engagement
We teach your dog how to tune into you, even around other dogs, people, or environmental distractions.

Confidence Building
Anxious or unsure dogs are gradually exposed to noise, surfaces, and social situations to help them feel safe and capable.

Impulse Control
Your dog will learn how to calmly observe instead of reacting, helping with door manners, greetings, and settling around stimuli.

Public Behaviour and Manners
If you enjoy café trips or town walks, we can build polite, settled behaviour in real-world social settings.

Puppy Obedience Training

“I have a shepherd mix—a high-drive working dog—who, when we started, was reactive to almost everything: vehicles, other dogs, cats, livestock, birds… Just a few months after starting our sessions, I can now walk her along busy roads and even took her to a dog show, something I never thought possible. This progress simply wouldn’t have happened if I’d stuck with the ‘positive only’ trainers I’d tried before.”
