Services
Adam's training services cover a wide range of areas, including:
Dog Walking
I offer personalised; one-on-one dog walks that are both engaging and interactive. I love working with dogs to stimulate their minds through activities like scent trails and obedience training in busy areas, helping build their confidence.
Basic Puppy Class
I offer a Basic Obedience program that teaches your puppy essential commands like sit, stay, and heel while addressing leash acclimation and housebreaking. I aim to establish trust and leadership, preparing your pup for lifelong success.
Advance Puppy Class
I help to enhance your pup's engagement by teaching effective feeding practices, real-world focus, and new commands. We'll address departure etiquette, puppy-biting redirection, and crate training to build a strong foundation for lifelong success.
Dog Behaviour Modification
In my Dog Behaviour Modification sessions, I tackle leash aggression, anxiety, resource guarding, and excessive barking. Using evidence-based techniques, I aim to help your dog overcome these challenges and create a harmonious bond between you.
About Adam
Hi, I’m Adam, a passionate dog trainer with extensive experience in understanding canine behaviour. My journey began with my rescue dog, Lulu, who inspired me to help others create strong bonds with their dogs.
Over the years, I’ve trained hundreds of dogs of various breeds while gaining experience with other animals like reptiles and farm animals. I’m eager to share my expertise, helping you and your dog build a happy, harmonious life together.
I couldn't be happier with the incredible progress our rescue pup, Daisy, has made under Adam's expert guidance.
Client Testimonials
FAQs
What training methods do you use?
I am a balanced trainer, every dog is different and may need another route of training put in place
Do you offer group classes, private lessons, or both?
I offer both but 1-2-1 sessions are my main service.
At what age should I start training my puppy?
Begin training from day one, focusing on good habits and routines. Formal training, like obedience and socialization, can start around 8-12 weeks, but introducing basic commands and house training early is beneficial.
How often should I practice training exercises with my dog at home?
Practice daily for at least 10 minutes, preferably in shorter 5-10 minute sessions throughout the day. Focus on one or two commands per session, ensuring consistency and positive reinforcement for best results.
Do you provide support and follow-up after the completion of a training program?
Yes I love keeping in touch with clients to see how they are progressing.
What is your approach to dealing with fearful or reactive dogs?
I start with an assessment to identify triggers and then create a tailored training plan to help the dog and guide the owner on proper support.
