Stress-free walks for you and your dog
recall . chasing . reactivity . pulling
Dogs I work with most often (and love it):
Adolescent
Dogs aged 6 months to roughly 2 years can be hard to live with. They are like human teenagers - sassy, impulsive, pushy, don't listen. I love these dogs, and can help you to fall in love with them too. Even if, right now, you're pulling your hair out in despair.
Reactive
Barking, pulling, lunging at the end of the lead, growling, frantic and dramatic. Does this describe your dog? I know how it feels, but I also know how to deal with it. It's the most common behaviour problem I work with. It's hard now, but trust me, we can make it so much better.
Chasing
So stressful to see your dog disappear in the distance after a hare or a deer. Been there myself, more than once. But then I decided to do something about it, and now I walk with my dogs without worry. I will show how I did it, so you can stop worrying too.

Training Walks
Would you like to make quicker progress with your dog? Are you currently struggling to teach him basics like recall, lead walking, paying attention to you, listening to your requests?
Maybe you have a young, adolescent dog, that just doesn't seem to learn anything, or you never really got to teach your dog much, but now you regret it, and you don't know where to start?
This is where Training Walks come in!
Twice a week I'll take youd dog out for a walk, and teach him all the things he needs to know. You can come with me, but I'll do the training. The minimum length of this programme is 3 weeks, and at the end of this period we'll have a transfer session, when you'll learn how to maintain what we've achieved.
Available days are Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. There must be at least one day break between sessions, ideally 2.
The cost of Training Walks: £180 for the 3 weeks (£30 per session, 1hr long). Payment plan available (2 x £90).
For reactive dogs the price is £280 for a 4 week programme (£35 per session), or 2 payments of £140.
Reactivity Support Group (FB)
Having a reactive dog is often very isolating. You feel like you're the only person struggling with it, and everyone else is judging you or think you're not a competent dog owner or guardian.
Training progress may be slow, as you're dealing with a living sentient being, who has special needs, requires a lot from you, and is obviously not coping well.
Being amongst others, who also go through the same thing, may be just what you need right now. A friendly and understanding bunch of people with their own experiences and often handy tips, will make you feel better and be more optimistic.
What more, the contenet shared in the group aims to help you to understand your dog better, and give you tools to add to your training. You can ask me anything, post your progress, or post a video for analysis and feedback.
Think of it as a reactivity course in a form of a monthly membership, very flexible, and relevant to your situation. If you need a 1-2-1 session, I offer discounts for my members (in Perth and surrounding areas).
Price: £25 per month (min of 3 months participation)
