My Services
I specialise in training owners and their pet dogs and work on a One to One basis in my clients own homes and local open spaces. I feel it is so important to deal with any problems at the root and that usually starts at home, this is where you and your dog spend the majority of time and this is where I can assess and gain a true picture of the relationship between owner and dog. I am very flexible and will arrange a time that will fit in with busy family and work schedules.
One to One Consultations & Training
For dogs of all ages. You may want the right start with a new puppy, or advice on a specific problem with an older dog, or you may have just given a home to a rescue dog and are trying to deal with the problems this may bring.
I also offer consultations to give you advice on choosing the right dog for you and all that goes with dog ownership.What does this involve?
The time I spend in your home on the initial Consultation/training session, will be anything ranging from 2 - 4 hours, during this time, you will be shown all sorts of training methods and practical demonstrations and you and your family will also be actively encouraged to participate in them, I always endeavor to make it interesting and fun for you and your dog.When I have observed and assessed your situation and assertained your individual needs, you will receive immediate hands on training on the day, and my training manual.
I can also provide you with a bespoke training programme if required. After an agreed period, I will contact you to see how you are progressing.
Also provided as part of my consultation/training visit will be a support service for as long as you need me, this can be either by telephone ( between 9am and 8pm 7 days a week), text or email at any time.If you require further training sessions, these can then be arranged at an additional hourly rate with a discount for block bookings.
Puppy Training.
Puppy Socialisation
It is extremely important to socialise your puppy from the moment he comes to your home at around 7-9 weeks. Your puppy will already have learnt how to be a dog from his Mum and litter brothers and sisters. I believe the best way to do this, is firstly to have as many positive, calm interactions in your home. A good time to invite the neighbours, friends and family and their children in for a cup of tea or a beer. Also to introduce to other pets in the home and start basic training straight away. Please be careful not to overwhelm your puppy, he needs plenty of rest and quiet times.
When your puppy has completed his/her vaccinations, devote time to taking your puppy to all the places that you intend to spend your future with him. ie: local parks, shops, school, town, on the bus, in the car, the local pub, friends & families homes. It's a big world out there! All these experiences must be positive ones and when handled correctly will result in a well balanced happy dog.
Puppy socialisation walks.
This involves meeting you and your puppy either at home or at a local park or open space near you or me. Accompanied with my dogs Milly & Cleo, who are the best teachers for your puppy.
You will be shown how to read your puppy's body language, how to control your dog with basic obedience, this includes the Sit, Wait, Walking nicely on the lead, recall training and most importantly to be courteous to other dog owners and other people. There maybe an opportunity to share these walks with other owners and their puppy's, depending on demand. Maximum of 5 puppy's. Your puppy can come along as soon as he/she has completed the vaccinations. To avoid puppies from becoming over tired, I usually keep this session to a maximum of one hour.
One to One Puppy Pack - 3 visits
This includes an initial consultation & training visit to help you with any problems and to give you and your puppy basic training guidance, including Toilet Training, Car Travel, Crate Training, Sit! Down! Come! Fetch! Leave it! Off! ,and walking on a loose lead.
The earlier the better! I would prefer to see you and your puppy as soon as you get him or her, then when your puppy is allowed out, a socialisation walk session as detailed above, finally a visit when your puppy reaches adolescence to help you with any problems this may bring.
You will also receive my training manual and a free bag of puppy food.
One to One Hourly lessons
Ideal for owners that cannot for whatever reason attend training classes. or just prefer that personal touch. I meet you and your dog at your home or a pre-arranged open space, either in Doncaster or close to you where we can concentrate on your specific training needs.
Introduction to Clicker Training
Clicker training is a lovely way to train your dog, they love it!
I will spend a couple of hours showing you the techniques and conditioning your dog to the clicker to get you started. After that there really is no limit to the behaviours and tricks you can teach your dog using the clicker. Includes free clicker.
My training is calm, kind & fun
I abide by the PAACT code of conduct

The best gift you can give your dog is to learn to speak Canine!
