Service Description

Looking for help teaching your dog essential life skills? These sessions are for common training challenges, such as: Lead pulling, Recall, Jumping up, Barking, Dog-Cat Relationships, and more! ​Essential skills such as loose lead walking and recall are covered in group classes, but you may prefer to work on a 1-1 basis. Each session will be held at your home or usual dog-walking areas. We'll look at how to prevent or interrupt unwanted behaviour, plus how to motivate and reinforce your dog for doing a preferred behaviour. ​​Sessions are based on practical training and do NOT contain in-depth theory. Therefore are not suitable for dogs with behavioural struggles e.g. reactivity, resource guarding, aggression etc. ​ The Process: - Book your FREE discovery call to discuss the struggles you're facing and how Dorset Paws can help. There's no obligation to book. - Complete a pet questionnaire to provide full details. - Schedule your Skill Training Session(s). Each session is one hour and is held either at your home or local dog walking route.  - Follow up calls, around 1 week later, are optional to check how your progress is coming along and to recap anything that might have been forgotten. - Ongoing text or Whatsapp communication is always available to ask questions and send videos of your training for further support.
