woofs in the wood: training

training

I offer one to one training with your beloved if unruly pooch as well as individual or family sessions to teach you and your family how to train your dog. I will work with you and your dog to train or re-train basic behaviours including:

Sit
Down
Sit and Stay
Leave
Drop
Loose lead walking
Recall
General Manners
Socialisation

I will adapt the training to the needs of you and your dog using positive reinforcement and a step by step methodology. The goals for your dog and our program will be established at an initial consultation at your home.

Once training sessions have begun I will generally give you and your dog some homework which will always be tailored to suit what you feel you can achieve given your schedule.

Effective results are only achieved if you are willing to put some time in to this process. The benefits to you and your pet will be immeasurable if we work together. A happy dog has a happy owner and vice versa.

I also offer free phone and email support during training and once our sessions are completed.

Currently I am offering one hour sessions at £60 plus VAT. Behaviour work from £75 plus VAT.

Our family can’t recommend Zoe highly enough. We adopted Yuma when she was about 4 months old. She is a Basenji, a primitive breed that is clever but also can be very obstinate and challenging. Zoe agreed to help us with Yuma who hadn’t learned to walk on a lead or return when called as a puppy. Zoe spent time understanding Yuma and what would motivate her and then she spent time with us--putting together a plan for training us to manage Yuma. As a result, walking Yuma is now enjoyable! And even when she is running full out at the park, she will return to us. Zoe has a real understanding of dogs and how to connect with them. As a result of her instruction; Yuma is now so much more responsive to us, which makes life with Yuma in our family so much more enjoyable and rewarding.
