Behaviour Packages


Behavioural package                                                  £270


During my behavioural sessions, I work with a variety of issues, including canine reactivity, inter-dog aggression, aggression towards humans, and any other behavioural concerns that require professional intervention.


Includes approximately 5 hours of one-to-one training, delivered over 5 sessions or fewer. This flexible structure allows time between sessions to practise and reinforce new skills, ensuring steady progress and long-term results.




Puppy Package                                                           £200


Approximately 4.5 hours of training, delivered over two or more sessions to suit your schedule and your puppy’s needs.


Our Puppy Package is designed for puppies aged 8 to 16 weeks, providing essential early training and guidance for a confident and well-adjusted start in life. We'll cover all the foundations, helping you understand and implement effective techniques for raising and training your puppy the right way.


We recommend booking this package as early as possible, ideally from the day your puppy comes home, to make the most of this critical developmental period.


This package is suitable for puppies up to 20 weeks old. If your puppy is slightly older or already showing early behavioural challenges, please get in touch—we’ll be happy to advise you on the most appropriate service for your needs.

Would you love the benefits of residential training but prefer to keep your dog at home each night? Our Day

Train programme offers a flexible and effective alternative.


Each day begins with a morning collection of your dog, followed by a structured day of professional training. Your dog will be returned home in the evening, along with detailed guidance to help you maintain their progress.


What We Can Help With:

We can address a wide range of behavioural and training needs, including:

  • Lead pulling

  • Recall issues

  • Reactivity (to dogs, people, or environments)

  • General obedience

  • Focus and engagement

  • Settling in stimulating environments


Why Choose Day Training?

  • Ideal for busy lifestyles where time is limited for consistent training

  • Professional guidance tailored to your dog’s specific behavioural needs

  • Access to well-socialised stooge dogs for safe, structured interactions

  • Support with complex behaviours that may feel overwhelming to tackle alone


How the Training Works:


Each dog is assessed individually. There is no “one size fits all” approach—we develop a customised training plan based on your dog’s temperament, history, and behavioural goals.


You simply tell us which areas you’re struggling with, and we’ll work on developing those skills during the training day.


Training Methods:


Whether your dog needs help with reactivity, obedience, recall, heelwork, or simply learning to settle, we use evidence-based, humane techniques tailored to your dog’s learning style and emotional state.

Progress Updates:


Throughout the day, you’ll receive photos and videos to keep you updated on your dog’s progress and engagement.


Handover & Support:


At drop-off, we’ll provide a comprehensive handover session, including:

  • A review of what your dog learned

  • Practical demonstrations

  • A customised homework plan to help reinforce progress at home


And we don’t stop there—ongoing support is included. You’re welcome to reach out with questions or for advice to help keep your dog on track.




E-Collar Recall Training

E-Collar Recall Training   £400



Four 90-minute sessions| Optional premium e-collar available for an additional fee


Does your dog have a strong chase instinct or unreliable recall around distractions such as livestock, wildlife, or other animals?

Has your dog ever chased or harmed another animal, leaving you feeling anxious or out of control?


This bespoke training package is designed specifically for dogs with a high prey drive or a history of chasing behaviours, and for owners seeking a safe and effective way to achieve consistent off-lead reliability.


Understanding the E-Collar


The e-collar is one of the most versatile yet often misunderstood tools in dog training. When introduced and used correctly, it offers a safe, effective, and humane method for teaching reliable off-lead recall—even in high-distraction environments.


Veterinary professionals agree that keeping a dog permanently on-lead can lead to frustration, stress, and even aggression. Proper training empowers both you and your dog, allowing for freedom without compromising safety or control.


This programme is designed to help you become the calm, confident dog owner you want to be—able to enjoy relaxed, off-lead walks and a stronger bond with your dog.


Training Package Includes:

  • Four structured 90-minute sessions

  • Delivered over the course of one week for continuity and maximum progress

  • Sessions take place at a location of your choice

  • Optional top-of-the-range e-collar can be supplied for an additional fee

  • Ongoing support and guidance throughout the process


What to Expect from Each Session:


Session 1 – Introduction & Conditioning

  • Introducing the e-collar in a positive and non-threatening way

  • Identifying your dog’s individual working level

  • Creating a foundation of trust and calm communication


Session 2 – Handler Training

  • Reinforcing collar awareness in your dog

  • Teaching you how to operate the e-collar safely and effectively

  • Beginning structured recall exercises under supervision


Session 3 – Confidence & Control

  • Building on previous sessions

  • Supervising your handling, offering real-time feedback

  • Strengthening your confidence and ensuring consistency


Session 4 – Real-World Application

  • Final assessment of your dog’s progress and your handling

  • Applying the training in practical, real-world settings

  • The goal: a responsive, reliable dog and a confident, capable owner


Ongoing Support


Following the training, you’ll receive guidance on maintaining progress at home. We’re always available for follow-up advice or support as needed.


Take control of your dog’s behaviour, restore your peace of mind, and give your dog the freedom they deserve—safely.









Vibration/Pager Only Recall Training

Vibration Collar Recall Training                      £200   

                                 

Two 90-minute sessions| Conducted at a location of your choice


Pager collars(also known as vibration collars) and e-collars can be highly effective tools when used correctly—particularly in recall training, reinforcing positive behaviours, or working with deaf dogs. Their success relies on proper application grounded in patience, consistency, and clear communication—never punishment.


For dogs with a low prey drive, the gentle vibration from a pager collar is often enough to redirect attention or prompt a response. However, dogs with a high prey drive may require more structured interventions, including e-collar conditioning, guided recall training, and proactive management strategies, to reliably prevent chasing or potentially harmful behaviour. See above for my e-collar package.


What’s Included:

  • Two structured 90-minute sessions focused on V-Collar

  • Tailored to your dog's individual needs, drive levels, and learning style

  • Conducted at a location suited to real-life recall challenges

  • Hands-on instruction with live feedback and follow-up advice


This package is ideal for owners looking to establish or reinforce a strong recall in a safe, effective, and responsible way—especially when distractions or chasing behaviours are a concern.
