From the first session we provide practical advice on how to prevent any unwanted behaviour and keep everyone feeling safe. You will get strategies for how to navigate walks and an enrichment plan to help support your training.
In sessions 2 and 3 we use training games that can help build on skills you and your dog already have and introduce new ones. Focusing on building engagement, what to do when you both see a dog, emergency U-turns (getting out of dodge), etc., as well as helping them build better associations when seeing dogs.
There will be demos, handy guides and support every step of the way with training trackers, reviewing of video footage so you know you’re on the right track and weekly check ins.

The first session can be done remotely or in person at your home, the second and third session tend to be a mix of in home or in the garden or out and about.

Initial Session
The first session tends to be the longest as it involves an in-depth history taking, we usually recommend allowing for up to 2 hours for this one.
Coaching Sessions
The second and third sessions aren’t as long as we spend much more time working with you and the dog together and this tends to be a lot for the dog. We usually recommend allowing for 60 -90mins depending on what we are working on and where.
