Problem-Solving
Dog & Puppy Training Sessions
Learn How To Speak Dog.
Most dog behavioural challenges I see my clients are experiencing with their dog have been reinforced by the owner not communicating correctly with their dog.
I firmly believe that resolving any dog behavioural challenge starts with the owner giving the right message to the dog over time. To do this efficiently, the dog owner must have the fundamental knowledge of interacting and communicating correctly with their dog.
Doing so over time will help them resolve any present behavioural challenge and prevent future challenges throughout their dogs' lives.
For this reason, my Problem-Solving Dog Training Sessions consists of a Theory and Practice part.
During the theory part, you'll learn how to communicate efficiently with your dog to resolve the challenges you are experiencing and why we are using these methods. During the session's practice part, we'll put some of the topics we covered in the theory part into practice.
My Problem-Solving Dog Training Sessions are ideal if you're experiencing challenging behaviour with your dog that you want to resolve. Maybe your Dog…

What’s Included in
My Problem-Solving Sessions?
Please note that I'll usually try to contact you by phone once you get in touch through my online contact form to discuss the challenges you are experiencing and find the best way forward for your specific circumstances.
Theory Part:
We'll go through my main PowerPoint presentation covering The Basics Of Learning Theory in Dog. For more complex Behavioural challenges like Lead Reactivity in Dogs, I have separate Presentations covering just that topic.
My main Presentation lasts approximately two hours; we would need around three hours for more complex behavioural challenges.
Practice Part:
During our Practice part of the Session, we'll mainly work on the challenges you want to resolve with your dog. I will show you the exercises explaining to you why we are doing them and how to do them correctly. After that, it will be your turn to take over and practice yourself, so I can make sure you're doing them correctly.
My Practice part of the session is usually one or two hours long.
C-BARQ Canine Behavioral Assessment Questionnaire:
In addition to my Theory and Practice Sessions, I can also offer an online assessment called C-BARQ Canine Behavioral Assessment Questionnaire in cases where I think it will be beneficial to you. You can read more about the Assessment by following the link below.
I always try to personalise my sessions in the best possible way for you, depending on your dog's challenges, needs and age.
My Theory and Practice Sessions can take place on the same day or two separate days.
What are the Benefits of My One-to-One Dog Training Sessions?
In addition to effectively solving any challenges you are experiencing with your dog, my completely personalised sessions will:
Teach you training methods that are both kind to your dog and backed by science.
Help you to better understand and communicate with your dog effectively.
Be enjoyable both for you and your dog.
Help to strengthen the bond between you and your dog.
Provide you with lots of information on how to keep your dog healthy and happy.
Help to prevent any future challenges from arising.
During our training sessions, I'll always do my best to explain to you the reasons I believe your dog is behaving in a certain way and why the methods I'm proposing for you to work with will be beneficial for you and your dog.
Sometimes a dog's challenges are related to medical conditions and if I have a suspicion that this may be the case, I'll advise you to have your dog seen by a vet.
The best way of assessing what you need and how I can help you is to get in touch through my online contact form.
We`ll then organise a free phone consultation to discuss the best forwards for your specific circumstances.
