Yes! These sessions are designed to be delivered in person but if you want to meet online then we can, by all means.

Feel free to jot down any notes, particularly those related to your individual situation. However, rest assured that all the essential details will be included in your 'Perfect Puppy Pack’, as well as the training plan which you'll receive via email following the session.

All of my one to ones include written summaries on what we cover in each session, a clear plan of action to work on, as well as easy to follow instructions on training exercises covered.

While the internet serves up heaps of helpful advice, it also dishes out its fair share of not-so-great tips. It can be a bit of a challenge to tell what's spot on and what's a bit off.

Sadly, much of the information you stumble upon might be outdated, not tailored to your unique puppy, or could potentially create future issues due to it being based on incorrect and outdated theories on canine behaviour.

The significance of establishing trust and a strong connection with your dog should not be underestimated. Scientific research has unequivocally demonstrated that relying on outdated concepts such as "the pack leader," "dominance," and other aversive dog training methods is not just detrimental to your relationship but can also result in enduring psychological harm to your dog.

Instead of effectively addressing the root causes of their issues, these methods merely suppress undesired behaviours without teaching your dog the desired alternative behaviours.

I identify as a positive reinforcement practitioner so you can be assured that the use of fear and intimidation have no place in my approach. Achieving meaningful behaviour modification requires a dedicated investment of time, compassion, and patience but the results speak for themselves. I use the most up to date, science based training methods that have your dog’s welfare at heart.

The training plan I create will take into account your lifestyle, your training goals and your puppy.

You will have a well-defined action plan that provides clear guidance on what to focus on both during and in between our sessions.

Many clients find it helpful to print out the plan in order to measure their pups progress and any observations you might want to chat to me about.

It's impossible to provide absolute assurances regarding the future behaviour of any animal, given the variations in individual traits, learning histories, and the influence of your own actions.

What I can guarantee is that you will be given the knowledge and techniques to help you with everything you need to set your puppy off on the right paw if you implement the strategies consistently with your dog.
