St. Agnes Dog Training

Is Your Dog Struggling with Any of These Challenges?

Living in St Agnes comes with its own unique mix of distractions and difficulties. Here’s how I help:

Residential Area Training

With many dogs in St Agnes living in quiet housing estates or close-knit neighbourhoods, it’s common to encounter:

• Over-excitement or barking when people walk past windows or fences

• Pulling or lunging at other dogs in tight lanes

• Difficulty focusing due to constant low-level background noise

Training Focus:
I work on settle training, impulse control, and loose-lead walking in your actual residential area. We teach dogs to ignore distractions and walk calmly past other homes, fences, or barking dogs — without needing constant correction.

Beach and Park Training

Trevaunance Cove and Beacon Park are ideal off-lead zones, but they also come with:

• High-value distractions like birds, waves, children, and BBQ smells

• Dogs running off to greet others

• Lack of recall when triggered by environmental excitement

Training Focus:
We build bombproof recall, attention work, and desensitisation around high-energy stimuli. I’ll help your dog return promptly when called — even with the temptation of beachgoers, gulls, or food wrappers.

Town and High Street Training

Busy town centres like St Agnes High Street can be overwhelming for dogs. Issues include:

• Leash pulling

• Freezing in crowds

• Barking at strangers or shop entrances

• Sensory overload from traffic and noise

Training Focus:
I coach dogs through confidence-building walks, help them develop neutrality around people and noise, and focus on handler engagement even in chaotic environments.
