Services
I try very hard to be accessible to everyone and pride myself on my flexible and professional approach.
If you can’t see a service here to fulfil your requirements, please contact me.
Free Discovery Call.
This is a free 15 minute phone/video call where we can discuss your needs. Often I can
offer some quick tips or suggest a couple of changes during this call which may help prior
to booking any other service.
Virtual Consultation.
These work amazingly well as all of the family can participate regardless of any local
restrictions. It makes my services accessible to people up and down the country and
even overseas. I can look at problem behaviours, coach and demonstrate training for
your pet. This includes supporting notes and any relevant handouts.
In Person Consultations – Ashford TW15 3JJ.
I am able to see clients at my home consulting office to coach and train yourself and your
pet. This works especially well for puppy basics, leadwork and recall.
In person consultation at your home.
These are available within the school day and I offer some weekends/evening slots. The
home visits allow me to see the pet in their home environment where they are most
relaxed and happy. Consultations are charged by the hour or part thereof. This may be
suggested as a preference for many pets given the nature of the pet and the training
required.
Online training Facebook group.
The Facebook group has lots of basic fun training video tutorials. It is perfect for new
puppy owners and families as the children can replay and watch the clips as often as
they wish. The fee includes a clicker posted to you and some training notes to support
the basics.
Day Training – Ashford TW15 3JJ.
Should you wish your dog to learn some specific tasks and not have time, why not drop
him off for the day? Your dog will receive a fun day of training, rest, walks, enrichment
and dog socialisation. Again, this works really well for puppies as they can’t concentrate
for long. It’s surprising what can be achieved in a day and you will be given notes and
video of the training to keep. Drop off is 9am and collection 5pm. These are
most successful if several days are booked in a week.
Behavioural Consultation Online.
This again works very well and may be compulsory with any current restrictions. The pet
MUST have a Veterinary health check first to rule out any underlying health problems or
pain. The consultation takes around 90 minutes and both yourself and your vet will
receive a summary of the consultation and training plan for your records. You may be
asked to gather video footage of the pet to discuss and to keep a diary of events before
the consultation. You are encouraged to keep in contact post consultation for 6 weeks.
Quick ‘check ins’ are included in the fee.
Behavioural Consultation Home Visit.
This is similar to the online consultation except is carried out in your home. The price
reflects the additional travel time. These are subject to local restrictions
and may not always be an option.
Puppy Classes.
Classes are normally run in different locations, indoor and outside – subject to local
restrictions. They are a four week course of one hour weekly and currently up to 8
puppies in a group. The fee includes a clicker, training notes, optional access to the
Facebook training tutorials. Fees depend on location due to venue hire costs.
Puppy Confidence Session.
This is an ideal first experience for puppies, it can be carried out at my home office or as
part of your home visit. These sessions are really good for young puppies. Prices are the
same as in person consultations at my office or your home.
Enrichment session.
These are similar to the puppy confidence sessions and are great for ALL pets,
especially shy and fearful dogs, rescue dogs, older dogs, pets in rehab or on a reduced
exercise schedule. Prices are the same as in person consultations at my office or your home.
Veterinary Confidence Sessions.
These can be a puppy group session or as an individual dog training for a pet who is
worried at the vets. We make the visit out of hours when quiet and allow the pet to gain
confidence at the vets and practice handling if indicated. These are subject to current
guidelines.
One Month Package (Gold).
This is perfect for the new puppy and rescue owners and includes two weekly, hour long
online calls for the first four weeks post adoption. This allows us to chat through any
settling in struggles and advance through the dog’s training. The fee also includes
access to the online Facebook tutorials. A clicker and training sheets will be provided to
you upon sign up. Sessions must be arranged as soon as possible to ensure even
spacing but can be moved if you need help sooner.
One month package (Silver).
This is suitable for new dog guardians – whether rescue or puppy. There is an initial
online consultation for one hour followed by twice weekly, (7 more) 30 minute online
calls. These support you and your dog’s transition and enable us to advance the training
as your dog settles and progresses through training. Depending on the pet, you may
wish subsequent months or the bronze package as it can take 3 months for rescue and
fearful dogs to really settle within new homes. This option includes a clicker and training
sheets provided upon sign up and access to the Facebook tutorials.
One month package (Bronze).
This is suitable for puppy and rescue dog adopters who need a little less support. The
fee includes a one hour online consultation and three further once weekly half hour long
sessions. Also included is access to the Facebook training tutorials, a clicker and notes
provided.
Packages may be upgraded at any time. The sessions are best prebooked to ensure you
get the space you wish and may be brought forward when possible, if you need extra
help sooner. The first few weeks and months of dog adoption can be tricky and a time
when you need more support but the level should reduce as the dogs settle in and learn
with you.
An ultimate/platinum package can be used incorporating all 3 packages. Should you wish to extend your package, its best to do so as soon as possible in order to secure your regular sessions.
