Dog Training
Tailored training for adolescent and adult dogs - designed to build calm and reliable life skills (over 24 weeks)
For adolescent and adult dogs, training is less about teaching “obedience” and more about building practical life skills that work in the real world.
Often, skills such as recall and lead walking become unreliable during adolescence, as developmental life changes increase hormonal influence on behaviour and environmental distractions become harder to ignore. Our private training programmes are designed to gently rebuild these foundations using kind, force-free methods — helping your dog make better choices.
To ensure the best outcomes for every dog, our training programmes are best suited to dogs whose needs sit within the training realm. Where behaviour is driven by fear, anxiety, frustration or aggression, these concerns benefit from a behavioural approach first. In these cases, we’ll guide you toward a behavioural assessment to ensure your dog receives the right support from the outset.
This welfare-led approach allows us to work ethically, effectively and in your dog’s best interests — setting both of you up for lasting progress rather than quick fixes.
Choosing the right support matters. We’ll always prioritise your dog’s welfare and long-term success over quick solutions
Is this training right for my dog?
Our private training programmes are best suited to dogs who need support with everyday life skills that have either broken down after entering the 'teenage phase' or were never structurally taught in puppyhood.
This training may be a great fit if:
• Your dog is generally confident and curious
• Skills such as recall or lead walking feel inconsistent or unreliable
• You’d like structured, kind guidance tailored to your dog and lifestyle
A different approach may be more appropriate if:
• Your dog shows signs of anxiety, fear or distress in everyday situations
• There have been incidents of aggression, growling, snapping or biting
• Frustration regularly leads to barking or lunging at home or outside
• You’re feeling worried about your dog’s emotional well-being
In these cases, behavioural support allows us to address the underlying causes first — creating a safer, more effective path forward. If you’re unsure which route is right for your dog, we’re always happy to help guide you.

Through personalised training and real-world practice, we focus on rebuilding focus, strengthening engagement and refining essential life skills that support a calm, reliable adult dog.
Sessions are tailored to your dog’s age, history and learning style, and may include work on lead manners, recall foundations, impulse control, confidence-building and real-life skills for living in a stimulating modern environment.
This programme offers clarity, consistency and expert support — helping both you and your dog navigate adolescence with confidence rather than frustration.
Includes:
• 3 × Private in-home or local training sessions
• 2 × Guided outdoor field sessions (recall, lead walking, distraction-proofing)
