They're not being stubborn - they just haven't learned yet.
If your dog pulls on the lead, ignores recall, jumps on visitors, or just won't settle, it can feel like nothing you try works. But these aren't signs of a difficult dog - they're signs of a dog who hasn't had the opportunity to learn.
Everyday Essentials covers the foundational skills that every dog deserves the chance to master. We'll work through what your dog specifically needs help with and you'll receive a training plan tailored to your life together.
Further follow-up sessions can be booked separately should you wish to continue with check-ins and plan adjustments.
What I can help with
Basic Manners
The everyday behaviours that make life together easier - from waiting at doors to dropping items on cue.
Focus
Helping your dog tune in to you, even when there are distractions competing for their attention.
Door Dashing
Bolting through open doors or gates before you've had a chance to check it's safe.
Settling
Teaching your dog to relax and switch off at home, on visits, or in the car.
Recall
Building a reliable recall so your dog comes back when called, even with distractions.
Loose Leash Walking
Making walks enjoyable again, without the constant pulling and tension on the lead.
Jumping
Helping your dog greet people calmly instead of launching themselves at everyone they meet.
Greeting Visitors
Managing the excitement (or anxiety) when someone comes to the door or enters the home.
Social Skills
Building your dog's ability to interact politely with other dogs and people in everyday situations.
And more!
Every dog is different. If it's an everyday skill, we can work on it together.
