Private training sessions are focused on teaching your dog a specific behaviour and conducted by a qualified Obedience Dog Trainer. It does not include a detailed assessment. Therefore if your dog is experiencing any issues that are more of a behavioural concern (e.g. barking, aggression, reactivity, anxiety or fear based behaviours) you need to book a behavioural concern package.  This is to ensure you get the right amount of assessment and support for change and success. We can not effectively train a dog that has any nervousness, fear or stress without a thorough assessment.  

This does not apply to puppies under 20 weeks of age experiencing behavioural issues. If your puppy is under 20 weeks of age you can book a private session, regardless of what the concern is.

Our preferred method is to work with you online. The benefits of this are:

  • We see your dog in its most natural state e.g., they are not excited or nervous by our presence.
  • In home/in person sessions are recommended if a follow up session is needed.
  • It is also the most cost-effective way of working together, the session is cheaper and no travel fee applicable.

The first session is a lot of getting to know you and your dog and any training we can demonstrate what this looks like with our own dog online too. Don’t worry there may be some dog’s we want or need to meet or work with in person and we will recommend this after the first online session. But we won’t make you spend that extra money unless its necessary.

Sessions with our Obedience Dog Trainer include:

  • Loose leash walking
  • Come when called
  • Puppy set up and advice
  • Jumping and polite greetings
  • Biting and mouthing (puppies)
  • Toilet training (puppies)
  • Separation and home alone (puppies)
  • Trick training
  • Cooperative care

ABOUT US

Whatever the scenario you find yourself in, we can help by revealing an effective gentle communication which all dogs understand. Once you learn and adopt this communication, your dog will look to you for guidance in each and every area of their lives. As a result of this positive communication, all undesirable behaviour will disappear to create a happy, calm and positive relationship.

Thank you for helping us to decide on whether we were suitable for rehoming a rescue, Cassie. You asked super valuable questions and really listened to our concerns. You helped us to make a conscious choice about what is right for us and take the steps to determine that we were doing the right thing. Ultimately we decided we weren't ready to be a 2 dog family, and we're so glad to gain this insight before taking on a commitment to a second dog. Thank you so much for your advice and support. - Mark, Jane, and Winston

Cassie is so great at thinking outside the box. She has a really flexible approach to training and finds what works for you and your dog. I highly rate her

The communication was wonderful. They sent weekly reminders about the classes and would even send us a text before the class started. They were happy to answer any questions and would even stay behind after to go through any concerns I had with my dog’s behaviour at home. Tara was amazing and soooo great with buckwheat. Would happily go to another class that she was teaching.

We are so appreciative of the private dog training we did with Alicia and Cassie. They are both incredibly knowledgable and professional in their approach, and both went out of their way to provide additional help and support. Our great dane has benefited immensely from this training and we couldn't recommend this service more highly!

I wanted some help with my new rescue dog’s on-leash walking manners. A week after a single one-on-one session with Tara, and it’s like I’m walking a different dog. No more pulling! She gave me some great strategies to help with reactive behaviours and some really simple tricks which just make life so much easier. Walks are now so much more enjoyable, and he’s gone from constantly pulling and paying absolutely no attention to me, to walking on a loose leash and constantly checking in with me during the walk. The one in one session was a great investment.

Thanks for offering training using modern science-based animal training methods! Such a refreshing change from the outdated, harsh methods and so much more effective, and fun!

Cassie was absolutely brilliant! I have been struggling with barking with my 6yr old anxious staffy for years. We felt like we had tried everything and Cassie came and it felt like she gave us those last few missing puzzle pieces. As soon as we started enacting her advice we have had a massive improvement and have not looked back since. Not only this but she arrived right on time and was super friendly and compassionate with zero judgement. I've been to a lot of people with my little one and I can happily say Cassie is by far the best trainer we have been to.

After just one private session with our new puppy, we feel far more confident that we will be able to address some of our concerns thanks to the support and professional advice we received. We would recommend the company to anyone experiencing the need for some professional support and advice. The ongoing support has also been most helpful!
