How my Training Works

Free Discovery Call

We'll chat for up to 10 minutes and get all your initial questions about the training and booking process answered, plus we'll figure out the best pathway to take. This is a great place to start if you're unsure about what type of training might suit you and your dog best, and how many sessions to choose or what package to go for!

Book your Sessions or Package

You can choose to book individual Sessions or a full package, with individual Sessions requiring you to choose all your dates and times upfront, and for packages just the first Session. You'll need to fill out a form after you've booked to provide me with some info about you, your dog, and your training goals or problems.

Training Begins!

Once you've made your booking and completed your form, we'll be able to kick-start your training with our first booked session! Your 1:1 Sessions will follow a training plan that will be customised to suit your needs and goals - even if we're working on a package, I'll still always tailor the exercises and pacing to you and your dog.

Continued Support

Our journey doesn’t have to end with your final session! Receive continued support following our time training together, ensuring the positive changes are lasting and consistently reinforced and you can feel confident!

FAQs

How long is the free discovery call?

We'll chat for 5-10 minutes over the phone. It's a brief call that's designed to simply get the ball rolling, and to give you an opportunity to get my ear and ask about what type of booking would be most suitable, how the booking process works, or anything else you'd like to know upfront!

When it comes to giving me more information about you, your dog, and any goals or issues, don't worry - you'll be able to fill me in in full detail once you've booked in.

How many training sessions will I need?

This depends on the issue you're seeking help with, and your eventual training goals! Some things can be resolved in just a few sessions, others may require more time. We'll always work to your pace, but if you have a budget please let me know in your Discovery Call, and I can factor this into our plan.

Is my dog too old / too young to start training?

Nope, never! You'd be amazed at how much young puppies can learn, and the same goes for older dogs - learning, enrichment, and engagement with you are all fantastic elements to add to the life of any dog, regardless of age.

What do your qualifications mean?

Check out my About page for information on my qualifications, experience, and practice - I'm always learning new skills and strive to earn new qualifications all the time! The key thing to know is that all of my training is rewards based - 100% fear and force free.

What is your availability?

At present, I'm bookable for training from 4-8pm, Monday to Friday.

When you purchase a training package or individual 1:1 session with me, you'll immediately be directed to my online scheduler to book your first session - there, you'll get to see all of my upcoming availability, and can choose the most convenient time for you.

To get a preview of how this looks, click one of the buttons above to book a free discovery call, and you'll see my calendar appear!

What is your working area?

I'm available to work within a 30-minute driving radius of South Croydon (CR2). This includes all areas of Croydon, plus slightly further afield eg. Coulsdon, Warlingham, Sutton, and Beckenham.

If you're unsure about whether you're in my catchment area, please do feel free to book in your free Discovery Call - if your postcode isn't available from the dropdown menu when making your booking then that may mean you're too far away, however I'm happy to discuss this over the phone in our call. Simply choose the closest postcode available if this applies, and let me know when we're on the phone!

Can you help me with..?

If you've got a specific issue or training goal in mind, please do book in your call and let me know about it - that's the best way to check that I'm the trainer to help you! I can help with pretty much anything training-related, and am currently in the process of qualifying to offer behavioural services as well in future.

It's very rare that I have to turn anyone away, but rest assured that if I feel that I'm not the person to help you for any reason, I'll always refer you on directly to a trusted, qualified colleague.

Again, if you're struggling with an issue and you're not sure if you need the help of a trainer or a behaviourist instead, please do book in a call with me and I'll be happy to help you figure it out! The call is no-obligation and I'd rather get involved and forward you onto someone who can help than for anyone to be left struggling and unsure of where to find support.

What training methods do/don't you use?

I'm a dedicated fear and force free trainer, meaning that I only use ethical, science-backed rewards-based training methods.

I never advocate for, advise, or teach any techniques that utilise punishment or aversion, nor do I train with, recommend, or encourage the use of any equipment that facilities this (eg. prong collars).

If you're not sure about any of these terms, or have questions about how rewards-based training works and whether it is truly effective, I'm always more than happy to talk through these topics with you - let's start by booking in your free 10 minute call, and we can always talk further from there. You can also find a page in the 'About' section that goes over how this type of training works!

I'm never going to judge you for methods employed past or present, so if you're uncertain as to whether your current practice falls into these categories please don't worry, we can discuss this and work together to make positive changes that will suit both you and your dog!
