Training Sessions
Training sessions work on teaching your dog new behaviours and/or building on the training they already know in front of distractions so you can safely enjoy the outdoors together and relax indoors too!
This could involve -
-
Puppy training - settling your pup into your home, chewing, nipping, jumping, leaving your pup home alone
-
Recall - your dog eagerly bolts to you no matter what is in their immediate environment
-
Loose lead walking - have your dog walk to heel and not pulling you in all directions and crossing in front of you
-
An off lead heel - perfect when out in the hills and you would like your dog to stay close
-
Automatic check-ins - stop your dog bolting towards distractions
-
An emergency stop - perfect for when it is not safe for your dog to return to you (i.e. a cyclist is about to move between you and your dog)
-
Leave and drop - guide your dog away from tempting distractions (and even eating them) without confrontation
-
Settle - perfect for when you are testing out dog friendly cafes/pubs!
-

"I called Sadie off another dog less than 10m in front of her today and she came back!
She is only 8 months old and I can walk her with confidence and know that she responds to me. It makes for such a nice dog walk!"

Training Session Packages
The Outdoor Dog offers training solution packages, rather than one-off sessions. I find this more effective because -
-
I can support you throughout your dog's training journey.
-
I can tailor-make the training to your and your dog's needs.
-
We can progress the training at each visit (especially distraction training) and ensure we are on track.
-
You know what commitment is needed to ensure you have all the tools you need to train your dog.
Sessions can take place Monday to Saturday; with morning, afternoon and evening* sessions available.
*Evening sessions throughout winter are unavailable unless meeting in your home - it is always best to train in daylight.
