When you truly understand your dog, training’s easy

You thought owning a dog would be awesome. You imagined long walks together, evenings snuggled on the sofa, and everything being unicorns and rainbows!

And it is pretty amazing. But there are just some things that you can’t seem to fix, no matter how hard you try.

Hours spent watching YouTube videos and posting in Facebook groups just isn’t cutting it…. You need a professional dog trainer to get you on the straight and narrow!

Let me share a secret with you

Dog training is just half of the picture. The real magic happens when you deeply understand your dog. When you make sense of how they learn and what they’re telling you, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is to train your dog to behave beautifully!

YouTube videos can’t tell you that you’re delivering the treat at the wrong moment, and that’s why it’s not working
Facebook friends can’t see that your dog’s already in the red zone and not cognitively capable of learning anything in that moment
Books can’t help you see the subtle shifts in your dog’s body language that tell you everything you need to know
Auntie Betty doesn’t know that your dog doesn’t find the treats that motivating, but there’s something else that will work better

When you choose to work with a professional dog trainer, you’re accessing decades of experience, knowledge and tips that’ll fast track your training no end. 

Practical, supportive advice + a big dollop of humour = relief

Such a difference, in such a short time!

We are so beyond grateful for everything you’ve done to help us with Jynx, thank you!! Couldn’t have done it without you, such a difference in such a short time!

What happens at dog training class?

dog training in real life situations

Our 6 week dog training classes are held outdoors, where you’ll encounter real-life distractions like other people, dogs, other animals and all weathers!

You’ll both not only learn new skills, but you’ll become experts at putting them into practice no matter what’s going on around you.

We start with two online training classes via Zoom, so you can master your new skills without distractions before we take it to the next level.

Learn how to

teach and improve recall, so you can enjoy off lead walks without the stress
master loose lead training so that walks are a pleasure, not a chore
get your dog’s focus and attention, even around distractions
get your dog to switch off and calm the pup down when you need them to
stop your dog jumping all over people so you can ditch all the apologies
And much, much more!

Experience comprehensive dog training for only £150

These classes are not suitable if your dog struggles around other dogs, barks or lunges. If your dog finds unknown dogs tricky, please book a call, and we’ll get you sorted!

She gave us 100%

Becky has produced a truly comprehensive course which is clear and well researched. The zoom meetings were good and helped to reinforce the lessons sent to prepare for each class. The outside classes were also excellent.

I am booked for the next set of classes and would thoroughly recommend Becky.

Loose Lead Walking and Recall Training

The most common issues that owners come to me with are recall training and stopping your dog pulling on the lead.

We have classes designed specifically to focus on this, so you can crack it, solve it and enjoy your walks together once and for all!
