Private Training

What to expect

 Realistic training plans tailored to you and your dog

We take the time to understand your dog's real motivation, then focus on both immediate relief from behaviour struggles as well as long-term sustainable change.

Assess the behaviour

We'll explore all of the factors that could be affecting your dog’s behaviour, including their history, environment, breed, age and wellbeing.

Change the environment

We'll structure the majority of your dog’s day to make good choices easier and prevent unwanted behaviour, so you don't have to micromanage.

Build skills

You'll practice with your dog a few minutes a day, on most days of the week. There's no need to spend hours training every day.

How it works

We offer sessions online, in your home or at another comfortable local space within our service area.

Intro Call

This is a no-obligation chat to get to know each other. You’ll share your biggest concerns, and the changes you're hoping to see. I'll outline the services I recommend and what to expect from the process.

  • 20-30 minutes

  • Voice or video call

  • Humans only

Behaviour Deep Dive

We’ll discuss your dog’s behaviour, history and lifestyle in depth to find root causes of their behaviour and what might be getting in the way of your goals.

We’ll identify the immediate next steps to reduce stressors, establish safety and stability, and make your days feel more manageable.

  • 75-90 minutes

  • In person or video call

  • Humans only

Coaching Sessions

We’ll teach your dog new skills step-by-step, working with their natural doggish motivation rather than against it.

Through ongoing sessions, you’ll learn how to change your dog’s behaviour and emotional responses, and coping strategies to respond to unexpected situations.

  • 55 minutes

  • In person or video call

  • Dogs + humans

Support Sessions

To maintain your momentum, we'll review goals, celebrate successes and troubleshoot any challenges that have arisen, within 1-2 weeks of your Coaching Session.

There is no additional charge for Support Sessions.

  • 30 minutes

  • Video call

  • Humans only

Important reminders

A few things we say to almost every client at some point

Timelines vary

Every dog learns at their own pace, and pushing them faster than they're comfortable often backfires. If external factors are affecting your dog’s progress, we’ll discuss and help you navigate those situations.

Progress over perfection

Ethical trainers won’t guarantee to “fix” your dog, because your dog is a living being, not an appliance. No one is 100% consistent, so we plan ahead for difficult days.

Behaviour is communication

Your dog isn’t trying to be a pain in the butt. Since we can't ask your dog what works best for them, we need to trial and evaluate the options. Setbacks are just new data points.

You're doing great

Your dog’s behaviour is not a reflection of your value as a pet parent, or as a person. We’re here to grow your skillset, not to blame and judge you for anything you’re doing or not doing.
