Help your adult dog settle into long-term life with you

Life doesn’t always work out the way you hoped. There may be aspects of your dog’s training that need improving to give you the shared life you’ve always dreamed of … walking together … visiting cafes … having friends round for dinner.

Alternatively, you may have taken on a new rescue dog, and you want to help settle them into their forever home. Or maybe you’re going through changes in your lifestyle or family make-up.

Whatever it is, you want to help your dog take life in their stride.

That’s what adult dog training is all about. It’s dealing with the here and now, and laying the foundations for a better long-term life together. All adult dog training sessions are bespoke. Together, we tailor the training to your circumstances and the issues that are holding you back. We start the training 1-2-1 in your home because that’s where you and your dog learn faster away from distractions.

The first step is a chat about the doggy problems that trouble you, the changes in your or your dog’s lifestyle that could be a source of stress, and the type of life you’re looking forward to with your dog.
