Assessment & First Dog Training Session

Service Description

This is your first step toward developing a calmer, more obedient dog. Our in-depth behavioural assessment & first dog training session is designed to address the specific challenges you may be facing — from reactivity and unreliable recall to lead pulling and setting consistent household boundaries. Led by our team of qualified behaviourists and experienced trainers, this session goes beyond surface-level fixes. We take the time to understand your dog’s behaviour, your lifestyle, and your training goals, allowing us to create a tailored action plan that works for both you and your canine companion. This session is more than just an assessment — training begins straight away. We’ll diagnose key problem areas, provide immediate, practical solutions, and outline how many sessions we expect you’ll need to meet your goals. A structured walk is included to observe your dog’s behaviour in a real-world context and apply relevant training techniques. What to Expect: * Assessment of key behavioural challenges * Immediate training to begin addressing issues * Guidance on recall, loose-lead walking, and impulse control * Strategies for managing reactivity and anxiety * Support in setting household rules and structure * A calm, supportive approach from experienced professionals * And more This assessment allows us to get to know your dog (or dogs — no extra charge for multi-pet households), understand your challenges, and align on your goals. The session lasts approximately 2 hours and can be held either in your home or at one of our private training locations, depending on what’s most suitable. At the end of the session, we’ll recommend the best next steps — whether that’s continuing with bespoke 1-to-1 sessions or exploring our Group Class options. Our flexible training packages ensure you’ll find the perfect fit for your needs. We’re here to support you every step of the way — helping you build a stronger, more rewarding bond with your dog through trust, clarity, and consistency.
