Training and Behavioural Consultation
If you are looking to address a specific goal or issue, a one-on-one lesson is the ideal starting point. Our training paddock is meticulously designed to offer a productive learning environment, equipping you and your dog with the necessary tools, knowledge, and confidence to tackle challenges both at home and during your walks. Things we can address are as follows:
Separation Anxiety
Resource Guarding
Reactivity
High prey drive
Acclimatisation for recently adopted dogs
Our approach emphasises positive reinforcement, focusing on managing and preventing issues rather than correcting them in the moment. Understanding your dog's unique needs and learning style is crucial to achieving success.
During the one-hour lesson, we will cover essential skills tailored to your goals, incorporating games, techniques, and valuable information.

🐾Frequently asked questions🐾
-
All of our lessons are held at our secure training paddock only 3 miles outside of Elgin.
We have ample parking and toilets on site.
Full address can be provided upon enquiry.
-
Although the issue may be happening in the home I prefer to help people outside of where the behaviour is being practiced.
Simply having a new person in your home changes the environment enough to alter the behaviour and depends on being lucky enough that people are passing the window during the visit.
Full online and phone support is included in your lessons.
-
You only need to bring what you usually take on a walk (including high-value treats e.g. cooked chicken, liver treats, etc) and I will supply the rest.
As we are positive only, we do not recommend the use of slip leads in class, so please make sure your dog has a neck collar/harness and a lead.
Please do remember to dress appropriately as the Scottish weather can be erratic and it is an open space.
-
For 1-1 lessons you are welcome to bring multiple dogs from the same household although we do recommend bringing just one and applying the same techniques at home to all.
Some clients prefer to have the first three lessons with the dog they find most challenging and bringing the rest along for the final lesson.
-
Each lesson is scheduled for an hour with 45-50 minutes making up the lesson with the remaining time for Q&A.
-
All the members of your household are welcome to participate in both 1-1 and group lessons!
Children are to supervised at all times (or to remain on a lead for the duration of the lesson!)
