There is no fixed timeline. Training isn’t linear, and behaviour change takes consistency. Training is a journey not a destination.
My programme builds the skills needed for progress
Yes.
We will have pre-agreed outcomes for the 8 weeks and we will work to those. Like anything in life though, you get out what you put in!
Your dog will be more engaged, responsive and manageable. They will understand their behaviour directly effect outcomes.
Training is a process, not an end point.
No. I coach you to train your dog.
Progress comes from what happens between sessions, not during them.
I need your dog to know you are the source of everything good.. not me
Reactive dogs start with Foundations, then usually require ongoing behaviour work.
This is discussed clearly from the start — no surprises, no pressure.
I do not use tools (prong collars or e-collars). I am happy to use slip leads but the collar is irrelevant the training is based on clear communication (sometimes through some lead pressure), reinforcement and management.
That doesn’t mean permissive or fluffy — it means effective. Your dog will know Yes and no. Right and wrong.
Single sessions are available to previous clients or trained dogs only.
They are not suitable for behaviour change or foundational training.
It would be unethical to take your money for a "one off"
You don’t need hours. You do need consistency.
If practising feels unrealistic, this may not be the right programme for you.
Some dogs stop there. Reactive dogs usually continue.
We decide based on the dog in front of us, not a sales target.
