The Value of Private Dog Training

Training in your home creates immediate relevance. When your dog jumps on visitors at your front door, we work on that exact behaviour where it happens. This practical approach helps dogs learn faster than abstract training in unfamiliar places.

Your trainer will see what actually occurs in your home—how your dog reacts to the doorbell, their behaviour during meals, or what causes barking. These observations lead to specific solutions for your situation, not generic advice.

The private in-home dog training format means your dog won't be distracted by other dogs or strange surroundings. Many dogs who struggle in group settings do well in one-on-one training where they can learn at their own pace.

Common Issues We Address

Excessive barking: We identify what starts the barking problem and develop management strategies that work in your specific home.

Lead pulling: We'll work with you on your actual walking routes, addressing the real distractions your dog encounters daily.

Jumping on visitors: We'll practice with real visitor scenarios and teach proper greeting behaviours where the problem occurs.

Toilet training problems: By seeing your home layout and routine, we can establish effective toilet training plans that fit your situation.

Separation anxiety: We'll observe how your dog behaves when you prepare to leave and create a plan to build their confidence when alone.

For anxious or reactive dogs, being at home removes extra stress, allowing them to focus on learning new behaviours without the pressure of unfamiliar places or other dogs.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start training my puppy?

Puppy training should start as early as possible. Many owners begin once the puppy has settled at home. Private puppy training at this stage helps build good habits and prevents unwanted behaviour from developing.

How is private dog training different from group classes?

Private dog training gives you one-on-one support in your home. The sessions focus on your dog's specific behaviour and environment. Group classes can be helpful but may not suit every dog or owner.

Do I need a personal dog trainer or are general classes enough?

Some dogs do well in groups, but others need individual attention. A personal dog trainer helps you address specific challenges without distractions. You also learn how to manage behaviour more effectively in your daily routine.

Can older dogs still benefit from private training?

Yes. Older dogs can learn new behaviour patterns and respond well to training. Private dog training lessons can help improve confidence, reduce stress, and correct habits that may have formed over time.

What is included in your in-home dog training service?

Our in-home dog training includes an initial consultation, personalised training sessions, and follow-up support. You'll work with an experienced trainer who helps you manage your dog's behaviour in real-life situations.
