Specialising in adolescence and gundog breeds
1:1 Teen Dog Skills Programme
Struggling with a teenage dog who suddenly 'can’t hear you' anymore?
A dog who pulls on the lead all of a sudden?
A once-sweet puppy who now jumps, grabs, ignores and seems constantly overexcited?
…our 1:1 Teenage Dog Training Programme might be exactly what you’re looking for!
4-Week Structured Adolescent Dog Coaching
This is a private, one-to-one version of my Teen Dog Skills course, delivered over four structured sessions.
We follow a clear programme, but sessions are flexible and responsive. That means we can:
- Progress faster where your dog excels
- Slow down and build confidence where needed
- Provide detailed handling coaching tailored to you
Over the programme, we focus on developing:
- Loose lead walking skills
- Reliable recall foundations
- Engagement around distractions
- Impulse control and emotional regulation
- Structured play and appropriate outlets
The goal is not to create robotic obedience. The goal is to help you feel confident to develop your skills for the real world — past distractions, around other dogs, and in stimulating environments — in a fair, rewarding and sustainable way.
Suitable for Teens — and Beyond
While designed for adolescent dogs, this 1:1 programme can also be booked for:
• Newly adopted dogs
• Older dogs who missed early training
• Adult dogs who would benefit from structured basics
• Puppy parents who wish to further develop their skills
The Programme Outline
Session One - Engagement & Focus
We begin by making sure your dog wants to work with you. Prioritise motivation, clarity and emotional regulation from the start.
Session Two - Recall & Impulse Control
We begin building value and reliability in your recall cue and setting your dog up for success.
Session Three - Loose Lead Walking
We teaching your dog where we would like them to be and begin to build patterns to help grow their skills.
Session Four - Skill Integration & Progression
In our final session we will consolidate skills and troubleshoot challenges to ensure you feel confident to progress your training with your dog.
Training should be fun for both ends of the lead...

All 1:1 training takes place at my private training field in Stoke Golding, Leicestershire – just a short drive from Hinckley, Burbage, and Nuneaton. With no random off-lead dogs, no park distractions, and plenty of space, it’s the perfect spot to practise.
