When it comes to improving the bond between you and your dog, behavioural issues or obedience issues, there is nothing as effective as one-to-one dog training. If a dog is struggling with obedience, it can often be a dual issue of the dog not knowing how to respond or the owner not knowing how to get the most out of their beloved pet. Don’t worry! One of our highly experienced trainers is on hand to work with the two of you to improve communication and trust, learn new skills and overcome any behavioural problems.

What are the Benefits of One to One Dog Training?

There are varying benefits to different types of training, depending on what you’re looking to achieve and how your dog responds. Some will thrive more in group class training, whereas some achieve more with a smaller, less stimulating environment. One-to-one dog training offers:

  • Dedicated trainer, offering familiarity for the dog.
  • Effective and efficient by building stronger relationships between our trainer and your dog.
  • Customisable training sessions.
  • More attention on the dog’s individual, unique behaviours and responses to create bespoke plans.
  • Your dog is in a comfortable, focused environment for effective results.

What Behaviours Can One-on-One Training Fix?

One-on-one training can fix multiple issues relating to obedience and behaviours in the home, in public spaces and when socialising with other dogs and people. Here are a few examples of how we can help:

  1. Walking side by side on a leash and heeling when prompted.
  2. Recall in public spaces.
  3. General unsociable behaviours around dogs, including jumping, barking and leaping towards others.
  4. Behaviours in the home, including chewing, biting, and digging in the garden.
  5. Overcoming certain fears and situational anxiety.

How Our One-to-One Training Works

Meeting Your Trainer

You and your dog will come to our stunning grounds in the Lancashire countryside and meet with your personal dog trainer. They will assess your relationship and your dog’s current level of training, and discuss any particular issues you would like to address.

Training Session

Each dog trainer training session lasts two hours, during which you will learn new tips and techniques to improve their behaviour, and your dog will learn to obey your commands. We’ll give you the skills and confidence to be a better dog trainer, so you can continue your dog’s development once you return home.

Assess the Needs of Your Dog and Create a Bespoke Plan

The number of one-to-one dog training sessions required depends on your dog’s current obedience level and the kind of problems you are looking to overcome, but in most cases, we can achieve a significant improvement in behaviour and obedience in just a few sessions.

Dog Training for Owners and Dogs

Historically, dogs are pack animals, and they will look to the pack leader (or Alpha Dog) for guidance and leadership on how to behave. In the home scenario, that pack leader is the owner, and you need to lead by example.

Why Do Owners Also Need One-to-One Training?

Your dog needs to know who is the boss and where the boundaries are. They want to understand what is acceptable so that they can be accepted into the pack. If you are nervous around strangers, then your dog will follow your lead and be nervous too. If you do nothing but shout at your dog, then they will just shout back.

What your dog needs is to feel confident that you are in control and that you know what you are doing. By staying calm and having quiet authority, they will respond to that by obeying your commands.

What Do Owners Learn in One-to-One Dog Training?

One-to-one dog training (or one to two in this instance) at our Lancaster base allows us to work with both you and your dog and help you to gain that confidence and control in a range of situations, both on and off the lead. We’ll show you how to exert your authority over your dog without shouting, how to make them feel safe around strangers, and how to achieve a level of obedience and behaviour that you never thought possible. We will help both of you to build a relationship based on trust, with a healthy hierarchy that puts you in control.

One-to-one dog training is available for any breed or age of the dog, and any owner, and can produce remarkable results. As every dog is different, one-to-one training packages can vary in cost.
