1:1 Dog Training

From everyday manners to specific training goals, we’ll create a clear plan that works for real life.

Training Services

Our 1:1 dog training sessions take place in your own home environment, or your choice of local location if appropriate - where your dog feels most comfortable and where everyday challenges naturally occur. I’ll meet you and your dog, discuss your goals, and assess what’s going on so we can create a realistic and effective training plan.

Following your initial session, you’ll receive a clear, easy-to-follow training plan outlining what to work on between sessions. If you choose a package, each session will build on the last, allowing for progression, consistency, and long-lasting results

    • Jumping up

    • Loose lead walking

Most training requires more than a single one-hour session to achieve meaningful, lasting results. For this reason, packages are recommended and offer both better value and structured progression.

You’re very welcome to book a one-off session and decide how you’d like to continue once the first session is complete. Please note that one-off sessions are suitable for basic training only.

How it works

  • The best way to get in touch is to fill out my contact form. Alternatively you can send an email to admin@rv-caninebehaviour.co.uk
    I’ll then get back to you with my availability, and forward you my client questionnaire.

  • I’ll send you a client questionnaire to gather important information about your dog, including their history, current issues, general details, and daily lifestyle.

  • During the training session, which typically takes place in your home, we’ll explore the behaviour that needs addressing with training, and discuss practical techniques which will help change your dog’s behaviour. outline practical steps for change.
    If preferred, we also offer consultations at alternative locations or via video call.

    After the initial training session, you’ll receive a personalised training plan, thoughtfully tailored to meet the specific needs of both you and your dog.

  • Behaviour change often takes a bit of time when more complicated training is required. If you choose a session package then I’ll be with you every step of the way through follow-up sessions, email check-ins, and adjustments as needed.
