Private Coaching

Ready to tackle a behaviour issue or training goal?

Private Coaching offers personalised, one-on-one support - with guidance that extends far beyond your scheduled sessions.

 

Whether you’re raising a new puppy, navigating the teenage phase, or working through more serious challenges like separation anxiety or aggression, this is a structured, supported way to make real progress.


What to Expect:

  • We start with a 60–90 minute Online Discovery Session, where we dive into your dog’s history, behaviour, lifestyle, and your goals. From there, we build a clear, practical roadmap and get started on the first steps right away.
     

  • After that, most clients move into hour-long sessions (remote and/or in-person), typically every two weeks, spacing out as you progress. These sessions are where we review your training, troubleshoot challenges, and introduce the next steps.
     

But the real difference is what happens between sessions.
 

While many training programmes leave you on your own until the next appointment, we actively support you throughout the process. You’ll have unlimited WhatsApp support and video feedback, so you can check in as things come up - whether that’s a quick question, a training win, or a “what do I do here?” moment in real time.
 

That means you’re not left second-guessing your training or waiting two weeks to fix something that could be improved today. We can guide you through situations as they happen, refine your technique, and keep momentum building - often staying in touch most days while you’re actively working through your goals.
 

You’ll also have access to our online resource library with real-life training examples, plus our private Facebook group for community support, training challenges, and monthly Q&A sessions - so you’re fully supported from every angle.
 

To further support your progress, we may recommend training walks (where a trainer works one-on-one with your dog) or board & train stays for more intensive work. These aren’t necessary for every case, but when appropriate, they can accelerate results and take some pressure off you during busier periods.
 

A note on commitment:
 

We don’t offer one-off sessions as a general rule. Effective dog training takes time, consistency, and skill development for both you and your dog.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during your assessment, but as a guide, simpler goals often take a couple of months, while more complex behaviour issues can easily take 6+ months.
