Loose Lead Walking

Is your dog constantly pulling on the lead, making walks stressful and unenjoyable? In my Loose Lead Walking sessions, I teach you and your dog how to walk together in harmony, making your outings relaxed and pleasant. I’ll work with you to: Encourage calm walking behaviour Improve your dog’s focus and attentiveness Make walks enjoyable for both you and your dog, whether you’re in the Cotswolds countryside or around Tetbury By the end of the training, you’ll be able to enjoy stress-free walks without the tugging and pulling.

Behavioural Issues & Modifications

Is your dog struggling with specific behavioural issues like excessive barking, separation anxiety, or resource guarding? I offer Behavioural Training to address a wide range of challenges. Each session is tailored to your dog’s unique needs, and I focus on positive reinforcement to modify unwanted behaviours. Together, we’ll work on: Building your dog’s confidence and trust Reducing anxiety and stress-related behaviours Teaching appropriate behaviours through consistent training No matter the behavioural challenge, I am here to help you and your dog navigate through it.
