private training
We offer private training for dogs who have specific training needs to address or who may struggle to work in group classes, including our sport classes – yes this means we can offer private agility lessons! Each session is completely tailored to your dog’s needs, so please ensure you complete our form below when requesting your first training session so that we have a more thorough understanding of your dog’s training needs and background.
Common training issues include pulling on the lead, recall problems, counter surfing, reactivity, destructiveness in the house, resource guarding, separation anxiety or even just preparing for and working with a brand new puppy!
Sessions may be held at your home, a local outdoor place, or even at the Nutter Dogs field at Greenhead Lane in Fence, depending on what is convenient and appropriate for your dog.
behavioural consultations
If your dog has multiple training issues to explore, or is showing behavioural problems such as reactivity, resource guarding or separation anxiety, we must first begin with a behavioural consultation. These typically last between 60-75 minutes, in which we will go through the various issue(s) you are working on with your dog and discuss how we will work on these. Depending on the issue(s), we may work directly on training solutions, or we may need to work through management strategies first. This consultation will be followed with a written report within one week, outlining what was discussed and how we will address the issue(s).
The consultation cost is £100. After this, subsequent follow-up sessions are £60 for 45 minutes.
Please note that we do not work with dogs with severe behavioural problems (such as dogs who have a bite history), and will refer you on to a veterinary behaviourist if we feel that that is what your dog requires.
private training
For simple training issues which do not require behavioural support (such as loose lead walking, jumping up at people, recall issues and puppy trouble shooting), we can head straight into private training. These sessions are £60 for 45 mins and involve more immediate hands-on training.
Please note that if you book private training but your dog requires behavioural support, you will be invoiced to pay the difference – plus an admin surcharge.
