Puppy Training in Bournemouth & The New Forest.
Our puppy training programme is a total of 6.5 hours of personalised, one-to-one training, delivered in your home and local environments
We focus on setting your puppy up for long-term success, covering everything from management and safe setup of your home, to appropriate exercise, enrichment, and building a positive relationship where you are a high-value focus for your puppy. This helps develop essential skills like recall, loose lead walking, neutrality around dogs and people, impulse control, and calm engagement.
We also work on preventing future behaviour issues such as reactivity, resource guarding, and separation-related distress, while teaching your puppy how to settle, how to be alone, and how to navigate the world safely and confidently. Common puppy challenges like mouthing, jumping up, and overexcitement are also addressed in a practical, realistic way.
This programme is designed for the whole family, whether you’re first-time dog owners, experienced owners who want a structured refresher, or families with children who need safe, clear guidance on how to interact with their puppy.
Behaviour Support in Bournemouth & The New Forest.
This is the first step in your behaviour modification journey, helping your dog overcome the challenges they’re currently facing. We offer support with reactive dogs, separation distress, resource guarding, and fearful or anxious behaviour.
This initial consultation allows us to understand why your dog is behaving this way, whether it’s a sudden change or you’re still getting to know a rescue dog. From there, we work together on the how; creating a clear, practical plan to support both you and your dog.
As a team, we’ll build a tailored, multi-modal approach that may include management strategies, lifestyle changes, training, and (where needed) veterinary support.
It’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed, but you don’t have to figure this out alone. I’m here to help you feel confident, supported, and back in control.
Training Support in Bournemouth & The New Forest.
Training walks are designed to support and complement your dog’s training journey, whether you’re working with me through private lessons, group classes, or behaviour support.
They’re ideal for busy owners who want to make sure their dog’s training continues consistently, even when life gets in the way. During these walks, I’ll reinforce the skills we’re already working on together, while also gently introducing new ones that we can build on in future sessions.
This means your dog isn’t just being exercised, they’re actively learning in a safe, structured way. It’s a great option for puppies developing key skills like lead walking, recall, neutrality, and appropriate socialisation, as well as for dogs who need more thoughtful handling, such as those who are reactive or easily overwhelmed.
You can feel confident knowing your dog is in experienced, capable hands, and that every walk is supporting their progress, helping make day-to-day life easier for both of you.
Remote Support
Online training is designed for owners who are outside of our immediate area but still want expert support with their dog’s training and behaviour. It’s ideal for refining specific skills, understanding your dog more deeply, or getting structured help with issues such as separation distress.
You still get all the personalised support but sessions are run through Google Meet. This approach allows us to work closely together regardless of distance, giving you access to professional, structured training wherever you are. It’s suitable for a wide range of lifestyles, especially for owners who need flexibility or are managing dogs with separation-related behaviours as it allows us to asses and work together, without my presnce interfeting with your dogs!
