1:1 Training Support
Initial Package - £180
One-Off Session - £50
Our 1:1 Training Support package is customised to both your dog’s personality and individual needs. We will give you the tools and information you need to help your dog on its training journey with you. Our aim is to boost the bond you have with your dog by creating clear communication and mutual understanding. We will teach you to read your dog’s body language to help create a deeper connection and build on your relationship with them. As you work with them, this will help with their focus and engagement.
All our training is tailored to the individual dog. From basic obedience to advanced behaviour, we can teach you how to help your dog be happier, calmer and more responsive in various environments. The training package will enable you to learn and gain skills in the basics of training by incorporating various protocols, handling methods as well as using clear communication, relevant markers and rewards that suit you and your dog.
The 1:1 sessions are ideal if you want to focus and achieve success in specific areas of your dog’s training away from a class environment that may not suit every dog or handler.
The training package can be designed to help you with a variety of training goals, including but not limited to the following:
- Back to basics and foundations
- Handling skills and lead work
- Recall work
- General obedience
By the end of the package you will have learnt fun new ways of training, engaging and bonding with your dog.
How It All Works and Package Content
After our initial phone conversation, we will send you a form to complete about your dog. Once completed, we will book you in for your first of four 60 minute in-person sessions.
A £50 deposit is payable at this stage to secure the first appointment.
First Session
We will talk through your dog’s training and what your goals are with them. We can then meet your dog in their own environment and observe them for part of our visit if this suits you. We will leave you with some strategies for you to get going with as a starting point.
The balance of the package is payable before or at this visit.
Remaining Sessions
This is where we work through the practical training. We will set up the best environment for your dog to learn, and look at how to help your dog be successful. We will demonstrate the training with your dog if it is suitable to do so. We will then guide and coach you while you work with them yourself. We recommend sessions to be every three weeks, as this gives you time to put suggestions in place before progressing training at your next lesson.
We will send a short action plan after each session, tailored to your individual needs. Handouts and videos to go alongside your plan will also be provided if needed. Feedback on your training will be given in-between sessions to keep you on track using either WhatsApp videos, email, or by phone.
Follow-Up Sessions
These will be available to add onto your personalised package if needed and/or when you feel you would like more in-person support.
For four weeks after this, further support is provided either by phone or video assessment so that we can discuss your progress. We want to ensure that you are happy with how everything is going. After this four-week period, we will have a further phone call to discuss progress and if any other in-person sessions are required.
The package must be completed within a 3 month period. Sessions not taken within this time will be lost.
When you are ready to book a 1:1 Training Support package, we would ask that you fill in our Training Support Questionnaire. Once we have received your questionnaire, we will contact you to arrange a free 20 minute consultation phone call.
