Ways to work together
Individual sessions
At the centre or at home for specific situations. We start by listening to your concerns and assessing how to approach the case.
Training during a hotel stay
This can be considered in specific cases. It includes individual work, agreed goals and updates for the family. Learning is usually most lasting when the family takes part too; ask the team.
Group classes: learning together
The 8-class pack has no expiry date. Dogs work alongside their person; sessions combine basic obedience, socialisation and agility.
Basic obedience
Practise everyday cues such as sit, wait and come when called, with exercises you can continue together.
Socialisation
The aim is to support positive interactions with other dogs and people, with supervision and attention to each dog’s comfort.
Agility
A shared activity with obstacles, jumps, tunnels and ramps that combines movement, focus and coordination.

Individual sessions: understanding your dog’s needs
Sessions are available at the centre or at home. They focus on a specific situation and help you learn guidance to practise in everyday life.
Understanding the situation
We start by discussing what is happening and looking at the context to understand what may be influencing the behaviour.
Tailored guidance
The professional suggests techniques suited to your dog and situation, and explains how to practise them.
Follow-up and support
The family receives tools to continue working independently. The approach may take one or two sessions; the team will assess your case and suitable follow-up.

Training during a hotel stay
This option is considered only in specific cases. If it suits your dog, the team can combine a hotel stay with individual training.
A plan for your dog
The programme is tailored to your dog’s needs and the goals agreed with your family.
Clear goals
Before starting, the team agrees realistic goals and how the work will be approached.
Updates for the family
The team keeps you informed about progress. Your involvement helps carry the guidance on after the stay.
