1-1 Training Sessions

Puppy Training

I offer personalised sessions focusing on basic obedience, socialisation, and addressing common puppy behaviours. I can help you prepare for the arrival of your new puppy, providing guidance on what you’ll need and key areas to focus on during those crucial first few weeks. Topics we can cover include:

  • Toilet training

  • Crate training

  • Basic obedience commands

  • Impulse control

  • Puppy biting

  • Handling & grooming

  • Loose lead walking

  • Recall

Adolescent & Adult Dog Training

As dogs reach adolescence , they often seem to forget everything they’ve learned, which is perfectly normal but can be challenging. These sessions reinforce positive behaviours and tackle typical issues that arise during this stage. For adult dogs, training is tailored to address specific training issues or to teach new skills. Examples of what we can work on include:

  • Jumping up

  • Lead walking

  • Building a strong bond

  • Retrieving

  • Enrichment activities

1-1 sessions are £50 if booked individually or for blocks of 3 it is £130 (these must be scheduled within 3 months of booking)

An initial meeting/consultation to assess and discuss a plan moving forward is £40

Upcoming Services

Small Group Classes

I am planning to offer in the future group sessions . I will be covering various aspects of puppy and dog training in a supportive group setting. Group classes are a fantastic way for dogs to learn in a social environment, helping them to practice commands and behaviours around distractions and other dogs. Here’s what you can expect from our future group classes:

  • Puppy socialisation classes: Focused on helping young puppies learn how to interact with other people in a positive and controlled environment.

  • Basic obedience classes: Teaching essential commands and behaviours such as sit, stay, down, leave it, recall and loose lead walking.

  • Enrichment activities: Incorporating games like “find it”, “retrieve” and “tug” to stimulate dog’s natural instincts and provide mental and physical exercise.

  • Specialised Training: Addressing specific training issues and needs such as management, jumping up, and impulse control.

Workshops

These will be in small group settings on specific topics like recall, loose lead walking and scent-work that owners often want more information about. They will concentrate on one of these in detail and will be offered at various points throughout the calendar, look out for more details in the future!

My Training Philosophy

At Aspire Dog Training I believe in force-free, ethical training methods that utilise positive reinforcement . I do not use aversive methods or equipment. I like to focus on understanding and utilising dogs’ natural instincts to make training enjoyable and effective.
