1-1 Walk&Train
1-1 training done for you, to allow your dog to get bespoke and complete attention while training. They are taken out as if they are on a walk, but they get a training session with me for the time they are out. This means they are take to specific places that will allow the chosen training to take place effectively, setting them up for success.
Currently working through the puppy phase? This is a way to get some training in while you're working or to help boost that vital training time while they're young. If your dog has current training, this allows them to be walked without undoing any work you have put in.
It allows me to be able to take your dog to various places, just as I would my own, so the walks stay fun and enriching.
It keeps your dog in a familiar setting as they would be walking with you, making transitioning training a lot easier when you want to walk your dog.
*What training is covered on the Walk&Train?
What is widely called 'basic' training. Things like recall, loose lead walking, heelwork, basic cues like leave it/sit/wait and settle training. The type of training that is often taught as a preventative measure to help you and your dogs daily life.
If your dog needs more than basic training, a seperate behaviour plan may be needed, or referral to a trusted Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist.

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.”
