1-TO-1 DOG TRAINING
Training built around your goals
Private one-to-one training means the session is focused entirely on you and your dog.
Rather than working through a generic class programme, we'll look at what you want to achieve and create sessions around your dog's individual needs.
Whether you want help with everyday skills, loose-lead walking, recall, engagement, settling or something more specific, we'll work at your dog's pace and make the training practical for everyday life.
Single Training Session
£50
A one-off, tailored session focused on the areas you'd like help with.
Ideal if you have one particular training goal or would like to get started before deciding whether ongoing support is right for you.
🔍 TRAILING & SCENTWORK
Start your puppy off on the right paw
The first few months of your puppy's life are an important time for learning about the world.
Puppy Foundations is a structured six-session private training programme designed for puppies aged approximately 8–20 weeks, helping you build the skills, confidence and habits that will support your puppy as they grow.
We'll focus on practical foundations for everyday life — not simply teaching your puppy to sit.
We can cover:
🐾 Socialisation with people, dogs, environments and sounds
🏠 Toilet training and routine building
🛏️ Crate training and settling
🦷 Managing nipping and biting
📣 Early recall foundations
🚶 Early loose-lead walking
✂️ Handling and grooming preparation
🌿 Confidence-building outdoor sessions
You'll receive clear guidance and practical strategies that you can continue using between sessions.
The aim isn't a “perfect” puppy. It's giving you the knowledge and foundations to help your puppy grow into a confident, well-adjusted dog.
Because adolescence can change everything!
Your dog knew how to walk nicely yesterday... and today they've apparently forgotten everything.
Adolescence can be a challenging stage, with changes in focus, impulse control, confidence and responsiveness.
Teenage Survival provides structured support for dogs aged approximately 6–18 months, helping you navigate this stage without losing the foundations you've already built.
We can work on:
🐕 Outdoor engagement
🧠 Impulse control
🚶 Loose-lead walking refresh
📣 Recall refresh
🎯 Distraction training
🌿 Confidence building
🦌 Calmness around wildlife and people
Practical support for one of the most unpredictable stages of your dog's development.
Let your dog's nose do the work
Dogs are built to sniff, search and investigate.
Scentwork provides a fun and rewarding way to give your dog more mental stimulation while building confidence, focus and problem-solving skills.
It's suitable for all sorts of dogs — from high-energy dogs who need an additional outlet to nervous dogs who benefit from confidence-building activities.
Sessions can include:
👃 Scentwork foundations
🔎 Search games
🌿 Confidence-building scent trails
🏙️ Urban trailing
🏠 Scentwork you can continue at home
A fun activity that gives your dog a job to do and strengthens the bond between you.

🐕 LOOSE-LEAD WALKING
🎯 RECALL RELIABILITY
Enjoy your walks again
If your dog pulls, lunges ahead or struggles to stay engaged, we'll work on building calmer, more comfortable walks.
We can cover:
✓ Engagement and focus outdoors
✓ Rewarding calm walking
✓ Distraction management
✓ Owner consistency and handling
✓ Real-world practice
The goal is a dog who can walk comfortably with you — not simply a dog who behaves perfectly in a training environment.
Build a recall you can rely on
Recall is one of the most important skills your dog can learn — particularly if you want to enjoy safe off-lead freedom.
This programme is designed for dogs who struggle to come back when distracted, become absorbed in their surroundings or need more confidence with recall outdoors.
We can cover:
✓ Long-line training
✓ Name response and engagement
✓ Emergency recall cue
✓ Wildlife and distraction training
✓ Safe outdoor practice
✓ Building confidence and reliability
Walk&Train
Training for your dog — without you having to attend
Don't have time to attend a whole training course?
Walk & Train gives your dog dedicated one-to-one training time while I'm out with them.
Your dog is collected from your preferred location and taken to carefully selected environments where we can work on their individual training goals.
They're still getting a fun, enriching walk — but their walk also becomes an opportunity to practise the skills they need in real-world situations.
What makes Walk & Train different?
Rather than simply walking your dog around the same route, I'll choose locations and environments that allow us to practise the appropriate skills while keeping your dog set up for success.
This can be particularly useful if:
🐶 You're currently working through the puppy stage
🕐 You don't have time to attend every training session
🎓 You want to increase your dog's training time between your own sessions
🚶 Your dog needs practice walking in different environments
🔄 You want consistency between professional training and your own walks
Your dog remains in a familiar routine of being taken out for a walk, while receiving focused training throughout their time with me.
WHAT CAN WE WORK ON?
Walk & Train is designed for everyday foundational training, such as:
📣 Recall
🚶 Loose-lead walking
👣 Heelwork
🛑 Leave it
🐾 Sit, wait and other basic cues
🧘 Settling and calmness
🎯 Focus and engagement
These are the practical skills that can make everyday life with your dog easier and help prevent training problems from developing.
If your dog requires more specialist behaviour support, a separate behaviour assessment and behaviour modification plan may be more appropriate.

What Clients Say
“Esme goes above and beyond every time. She’s so accommodating and thoughtful, and our dog is always excited to see her. The way she communicates after walks—explaining what’s gone well and what we can continue working on—has really helped us stay consistent with training.”
