Walking on the lead.

So, to cover every eventuality and situation dealing with leash walking, we offer different training options ..there will be one that suits you.

OPTION 1

The first is a full morning in session STRUCTURED WALKING -addressing a number of obedience and outdoor skills including recall.

This would be held in one of the venues that we work at.

£150

OPTION 2

The second option is a Mini Training Session / leash walking - pulling on the leash /obedience

60-90 minutes - held in Law Village

£70

OPTION 3

Or, if you are after Walking-to-heel, FIRST on a lead, the off leash heel walking, a gundog training session in Law Village may be most suitable.

60-90 minutes ..(THIS MAY BE TOO DIFICULT FOR YOUR DOG IF HE IS REALLY OVER EXCITED- SO MAY BE MORESUITABLE FURTHER DOWN THE LINE)

£50

OPTION 4

Where your dogs ability to walk on the lead is stunted due to high prey-drive or reactions to other dogs ..hyper-arousal .. hyper vigilant ...over excited ..he's jumping around ..pulling, lunging, surging forward to track scent etc - we'd probably suggest a full morning in a behaviour session for hyper-arousal so that we can address the real cause of the problem.

Evaluation/assessment only.  £180

A dog’s personality is formed by a complex interplay between his genetic predispositions, his breed inheritance, his developmental circumstances and his life experiences. 

While behaviour as a whole is a reflection of personality, a dog’s behaviour at any given time is heavily influenced by his emotional state, his instinctive responses, his stress level and the specific environment. 

Thus, any single source of information should be considered a 'piece of the puzzle' The more pieces you have, the more complete the puzzle.

Assessments are only what the assessor finds to be true at the time of evaluation ..therefore information will be primarily gathered from the owner/guardian of the dog 

Assessment / Evaluation £180

Assessments are now only available where the client requests advice only on the extent of the work necessary together with prognosis, without a training program set - third party assessments are no longer carried out.

FROM 2021 OUR TIME COMMITMENTS NOW PREVENT US FROM UNDERTAKING ANY WORK INVOLVING COURT PROCEEDINGS/SOLICITORS/PROSECUTION/DEFENSE OR OTHERWISE 

Detailed Reports 

We no longer provide reports for any legal issues you may have with regard to your dog as the time spent on such situations removes availability to carry out our other obligations.

A good, experienced, up-to-date, private dog trainer will be around £60 - £80 /hour. (Less experienced trainers should charge less.) sessions of 2hrs or more in duration are usually to be expected.

A private session with an experienced and specialist behaviourist should be around £90- £150 /hour. (Prices will vary according to the severity and nature of the behaviours involved.)

For Comparison -A vet/clinical behaviourist will be around £200+

Consultations will be by fixed appointment.

Ask for a quote, and a proposal of time and estimate of work to be carried out.

The more complex the problem, the more their services will cost... & You may need multiple sessions.

If you are advised that you will need further sessions to make progress, most professionals will offer a package price to ensure that you get the best deal..

You may feel that the charges are high for the time that they spend with your dog..

However we will be travelling, preparing evaluations, quoting, spending time messaging or speaking on the phone with you beforehand. After the session many will write up reports, draft up written explanations and notes to cover your session as well as offer you ongoing support..

Some will be working in dangerous situations where time and patience are required..

The time spent with your dog is only a part of the full working day that the professional is hired for.

Sadly due to an increasing number of missed appointments which carry losses to us, we now only take bookings accompanied by payment - unless we can see you sooner, payments must be made within a week of the appointment, so that we can offer the appointment to others should you not proceed.

Rescheduling/transfer of payment will only be possible if the notice is given with more than 2 calendar days prior to the original appointment.

Refunds will not be provided under any circumstances to compensate for preparation time and business loss. 

Due to high demand, we cannot hold an appointment without payment.
