What we work on
Every service starts with an initial assessment.
Behaviour & Reactivity
Reactivity doesn't always mean aggression. Some dogs are fearful, some over-excited, some just want to greet every dog. We find out which, then build a calmer response.
- Calm neutrality around other dogs
- Work around Aya, our neutral dog
Obedience & Recall
Often your dog isn't ignoring you. Something else is simply worth more in that moment. We build engagement so you become the best thing in the field.
- Reward the behaviour you asked for
- Clicker and marker training, done properly
Loose-lead walking
Blaze had become too strong for his owner to walk. With structured work, he's now walking nicely for the owner and the kids.
- Control of big, strong dogs
- Handling you can use every day
Puppy & Life Skills
A confident, well-mannered dog through engagement and play, with boundaries, lead handling and recall from the start.
- Engagement and play first
- Confidence in new places
Aggression & Resource Guarding
Safety first, then clear handling, better communication and practical strategies to reduce conflict and improve control.
- A safety plan from day one
- Food, toys and space guarding
High-drive & working dogs
Power, speed and drive impress, but control matters just as much. Protection and working-dog training by consultation, in the UK and abroad.
- Malinois, shepherds, working breeds
- Switch on, switch off

To know it’s working, we need the same results in a variety of different places: the park, the high street, the shopping centre.

Good to know
Do you work with all breeds?
Yes. Dogs of all breeds and ages, from puppies to dogs with more challenging behaviour.
Where do sessions happen?
The assessment is normally at your home. Training is at your home or a privately hired secure field, depending on your dog and what we're working on, then out in the places your dog struggles.
How many sessions will my dog need?
Every dog is different. After the assessment you'll get a plan, and we'll say whether the 3-session or 9-session package suits your dog best.
How do I book and pay?
Every appointment and package is paid in full upfront. A booking is confirmed once payment has been received.
What if I need to rearrange?
Give at least 48 hours' notice and we'll move the session. Same-day cancellations or no-shows forfeit that session, though we'll use discretion in exceptional circumstances. If we ever need to move a session, it stays fully valid and is rearranged at no extra cost.
How long do I have to use a package?
Complete a 3-session package within 6 weeks and a 9-session package within 12 weeks.
Do I need to be there?
Yes. The session is only the start. What you do afterwards is where the real change happens.
My dog is friendly. Why can't he say hello?
A friendly dog still needs permission. Not every dog wants to be greeted, and it's a common cause of problems on walks.
