Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my dog needs a behavior consultation or standard training?
Behavior consultations are for complex issues like reactivity, anxiety, or aggression. Standard training (like puppy foundations) focuses on early manners and life skills. If you're unsure, we can discuss your dog's specific needs during a brief call.
What methods do you use?
I strictly use positive, reward-based, and science-led methods. My goal is to build communication and trust, avoiding any techniques that rely on fear or pain.
Do you offer support between sessions?
Yes! My 1:1 sessions and programmes include follow-up report notes and email/message support to help you stay on track as you implement the training plan.
Where do the sessions take place?
Sessions typically take place in your home or a suitable outdoor location throughout Oxfordshire, depending on the training goals and what is most comfortable for your dog.
