I offer personalised, one-to-one dog training and behaviour support based in Sidcup, covering Chislehurst, Bromley, Bexley, Welling, Eltham and surrounding areas.

Sessions take place in your home and real-life environments, allowing training to be practical, relevant, and tailored to your day-to-day life. My focus is on calm behaviour, confidence, and skills that genuinely help dogs and owners live well together.

My approach is enrichment-led and force-free. I do not use punishment, intimidation, or aversive methods. Instead, I focus on understanding why behaviours are happening and supporting dogs emotionally and practically so positive behaviour can develop naturally.

Puppy Training (1:1) – 8 weeks to 6 months

  • One-to-one puppy training is ideal for owners who want individual support, flexibility, or help within their own home environment. These sessions are tailored specifically to you and your puppy and are suitable from the moment your puppy comes home.

  • I can also support you before your puppy arrives, offering guidance on preparation, routines, and what to focus on during those important early weeks.

  • Areas we can work on include toilet training, crate training, management and routine, puppy biting, marker word training, impulse control, attention to name, basic cues such as sit, down, stay, leave it and drop, handling and grooming, settle and calm behaviour, loose lead walking, and recall.

Adolescent and Adult Dog Training (1:1) – 6 months and over

  • As dogs reach adolescence, it’s common for behaviour to change or feel less reliable. This stage can be challenging without the right support, but it is a normal part of development.

  • One-to-one sessions for adolescent and adult dogs focus on reinforcing positive behaviours, addressing specific challenges, and building clarity and confidence for both dog and owner.

  • Common areas we work on include jumping up, lead walking, recall, excessive barking, engagement and focus, strengthening your relationship, retrieving, and enrichment activities such as scent work and tracking.

How We’d Start Working Together

  • All new clients begin with a 90-minute initial consultation. This session allows time to understand your dog, your home environment, your concerns, and your goals. Practical training begins during this session so you leave with clear next steps.

  • Follow-up sessions last 60 minutes and are shaped around a personalised training plan. Exercises are realistic, supportive, and designed to fit into everyday life.

  • Unlimited support is provided via WhatsApp and email for the duration of our time working together.

What Happens Next?

  • Three-session package: £160
    Five-session package: £250
    Individual session: £55

  • New clients require a minimum of two sessions (initial consultation plus one follow-up).

At Home Puppy Course (1:1 Alternative to Classes)

If group classes are not suitable, I offer an At Home Puppy Course. This includes four personalised one-to-one sessions covering the core content of my puppy classes, delivered in your own home at times to suit you.

This option is ideal for puppies who need a quieter learning environment or owners who prefer individual support.

Price: £200
