General Training (any age where help is needed)

From Chaos to Connection – Build the Relationship You’ve Always Wanted!

Having a dog that listens and works with you can feel like a dream when you're struggling with daily challenges. Whether it’s pulling on the lead, jumping up, or being too distracted by the world around them, it can leave you feeling like you’re missing that all-important connection.

​

Perhaps you’re dealing with:

​

  • A dog that pulls so hard on the lead you dread going for walks.

  • Jumping up on guests or passers-by despite your best efforts.

  • A dog more focused on sniffing and exploring than responding to your cues.

  • Restlessness or an inability to settle at home or out and about, like in cafés.

 

That’s where my General Training Course comes in! Designed for dogs of any age, this course helps you build the skills, structure, and bond you need for a happier, more cooperative life with your dog.

​

What You’ll Gain from the General Training Course

  • 3 Weeks of Tailored Training: Weekly or fortnightly one-hour sessions designed to tackle your dog’s specific challenges and goals.

  • Private tuition: Get personalised attention to ensure your unique needs are met.

  • Exclusive Resources: Training guides, videos, and ongoing support via WhatsApp to help you practise at home and stay on track.

  • Positive, Proven Techniques: Ethical, force-free training methods that prioritise trust and communication between you and your dog.

  • Practical Skills: Focus on skills that make a real difference in everyday life, including recall, calmness, lead walking, and connection-building.

 

Handle Common Challenges with Confidence

  • Loose-lead walking made simple: Learn techniques to reduce pulling and enjoy more relaxed walks together.

  • Stop the jumping: Teach your dog to greet people politely, whether it’s at the door or on the street.

  • Improve focus in distracting environments: Build your dog’s attention and engagement so they choose you over their surroundings.

  • Encourage calm behaviours: Help your dog settle comfortably at home, in cafés, or during downtime on walks.
