This is a short course that is designed to help dog owners that have a specific training problem with their dog that they want help with e.g. recall/ jumping up/ pulling on the lead or for owners that haven't got enough time to work on general obedience with their dog. I do ten hours of training spread over 5 - 10 days. The owner would not have to be present at all the sessions but for the training to work it is important that they attend at least 3 of them. During these three sessions I would have a consultation with the dog owner to find out their requirements from the course, show them what I had taught the dog and check that the dog would work for the owner as well as myself ! The training would take place at the client's home or a nearby outside location.

Some people choose to send their dogs away to residential places to be trained but this is not often helpful as the problem usually occurs in the dog's own environment or is a problem relating to the owner. This course is designed to be intensive, not too time consuming for the owner but realistic and effective.

This course will usually not include dogs with behaviours that involve a vet referral as these often require much more time to solve. It may also not be appropriate for all training issues but I will advise you of this if I believe it to be the case and offer you an alternative.
