Loose Leash Walking - Special Package
This package will teach you the techniques you need to employ in order to train your dog to walk nicely on a loose leash.
This could be a puppy or young dog who is learning to walk on the lead for the first time. Or it could be an adolescent or adult dog who quite simply pulls too much, making walks challenging and stressful.
The package comprises 2 one hour training sessions and costs £170
The first would include an initial assessment to review how the dog is currently walking on a lead and the extent of the current problem. Sean will show you how to employ positive reinforcement training techniques to reward the dog when it walks nicely and when it makes choices not to pull.
You would practise these techniques between training sessions so that the dog has opportunities to consolidate this new way of walking.
Session 2 would provide an opportunity to review progress and discuss how the techniques can be further refined based on the progress so far and the specific challenges for that dog.
For some dogs, a third session to review progress and provide focus to ongoing training may be required.
Improving Recall - Special Package
This package is for those owners whose dogs have an unreliable or non-existent recall and wish to place a specific focus on strategies they can employ to build a more consistently reliable and stronger response.
This could be an adolescent dog with a new found sense of confidence and adventure whose recall has become poor. Or it could be an adult dog whose recall was never good or has gradually deteriorated over time.
The package comprises 2 one hour training sessions and costs £170
The first would include an initial assessment to understand the extent of the problem and demonstration of exercises that can be undertaken and strategies to employ when out walking.
The second session would review progress and refine or modify the approach as needed.
The training sessions would be undertaken both inside the home (to teach and practise new behaviours) and outside, maybe in the local park (to practise implementation of the strategies in a more stimulating environment).
For some dogs, a third session to review progress and provide focus for ongoing training may be required.
