• My 90 minute Starter Session is the first step towards understanding your dog and creating positive change where it matters the most - your home and local area.

    During this relaxed, practical session, I will spend time getting to know you and your dog, understanding your goals and observing how they behave in their every day surroundings.

    I will observe the specific challenges you’re experiencing including behavioural patterns, triggers, routines and the things that may be influencing your dog’s behaviour. This will help me get a clear understanding of what is happening, and most importantly, why.

    This session will generally start at your home and may include a short local walk. If your dog’s behaviour is primarily challenging outside of the home, we can discuss the session taking place somewhere you usually walk your dog.

    By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer picture of your dog’s needs, a plan and practical strategies to start using straight away as well as a better understanding of how I can help you move forward.

  • Your Starter Session isn’t just an assessment, we’ll begin putting the foundations in place too.

    I’ll introduce you to practical, reward based training techniques to start reinforcing the right behaviours and making positive changes immediately. We’ll focus on skills that are most relevant to you and your dog, whilst helping you learn how to communicate clearly and build your dogs motivation to work with you.

    Everything I recommend is tailored to your dog as an individual and grounded in science-backed, ethical methods that priorities their emotional wellbeing.

    Whether you’re looking for help with specific challenges, want to understand your dog better or simply want to get your training off to the right start, this session is designed to give you clarity, confidence and practical tools.

    Together we’ll discuss your goals and the best way to move forward - whether that’s continuing with a bespoke training package, allowing me to put the groundwork in with my FastTrack sessions or continuing yourself after having a clearer understanding on how to support your dog.
