Puppy Foundation
Ages 8 weeks – 6 months
The first few months of your puppy's life are the most important for shaping their behaviour and confidence. My Puppy Foundation gives you and your pup the best possible start — all in the familiar, comfortable surroundings of your own home.
What's included:
- Basic commands: sit, stay, down, come
- Toilet training guidance and routine
- Bite inhibition and mouthing
- Lead introduction and loose-lead walking
- Socialisation advice and confidence building
- Crate training (if required)
Ideal for
Perfect for new puppy owners who want to start on the right foot and avoid common behaviour problems before they develop.
Behaviour Correction
All ages welcome
Problem behaviours can be stressful for both you and your dog. Whether it's reactivity, anxiety, aggression, or destructive habits, I work with you to understand the root cause and build lasting, positive change — without harsh or punitive methods.
What's included:
- Lead reactivity and lunging
- Excessive barking and whining
- Jumping up at people
- Separation anxiety
- Resource guarding
- Fear and anxiety issues
Ideal for
Ideal for owners struggling with specific problem behaviours that are affecting daily life or causing stress at home.
Obedience & Control
Dogs of any age
Whether you want a reliable recall, a dog that walks nicely on the lead, or simply a calmer, more responsive companion, my Obedience & Control builds the skills that make everyday life with your dog a pleasure.
What's included:
- Reliable recall — on and off lead
- Loose-lead and heel walking
- Sit, down, stay with distance and duration
- Leave it and drop commands
- Calm greetings with people and dogs
- Advanced commands tailored to your needs
Ideal for
Great for dogs of any age who need a refresher, or owners who want to take their dog's training to the next level.
Solo Training Walks
All ages & breeds
Sometimes the best classroom is the great outdoors. My solo training walks combine exercise with real-world training in your dog's typical walking environment — tackling the exact distractions, routes, and situations your dog encounters every day.
What's included:
- Lead manners and loose-lead walking
- Recall practice in real-world settings
- Reactivity work around other dogs and people
- Confidence building on new routes
- Distraction training in the environment
- Progress notes shared after every walk
Ideal for
Ideal for dogs who struggle on walks — pulling, reacting, or ignoring recall — and owners who want targeted improvement in the real world rather than just at home.
Small Group Training Classes
I am also currently providing small training classes with a maximum of 4 dogs (separate classes for puppies and adolescent/adult dogs) on Sunday mornings at Ford Park, Ulverston.
