Frequently asked questions
What breeds do we train?
Each and every one of them!
What methods do we use?
We carry out all training with a positive reinforcement/force-free method. This is the best training method as the dog is in a happy state rather when training rather than being uncomfortable in certain situations.
How to book?
First things first, weโd love to get to know more about you and your dog before booking in any training sessions. We offer a FREE 15 minute consultation where weโll chat more about the services we provide, and what it is youโre looking for.
If youโre interested – click here to book!
How do the sessions work?
We book a FREE consultation to begin with to discuss the challenges you are facing with your pup/dog then from there we can provide you with the best solution going forward – whether that be 1-2-1 sessions, online coaching, or a mix of the two.
How much are each session?
There are a number of different training package options available, please book your FREE consultation with us to discuss this further.
What types of training do you offer?
We offer 1-2-1 in person sessions, whether that be at your home, a local field or somewhere else of your choice, as well as online coaching sessions via Zoom.
Do we do home visits?
We do indeed – we cover all addresses within a 10 mile radius. However, we do travel further for an extra cost. Alternatively, we train locally to NE5 if youโre wanting to travel here too.
What areas do you cover?
Anything within a 10 mile radius to NE5 (although can go further – at an increased price, please ask for more info) – so Newcastle, Gateshead, Northumberland, North Tyneside.
Do I take the dog?
Dog training is just as much about the owners and the dog, so I include both the owner and the dog in each training session – showing what you can do to help handle your dog and their behaviours. After all, we train the owners as well as the dogs.
Whatโs the success rate?
As positive as you want to make it – dog training is hard work, for both the dog and the owner. We do ask that by signing up for sessions that you will follow the homework between each session, and compile with the advice given – consistency is key to getting results!
Can you help an aggressive dog?
Yes, we use management techniques first to prevent the dog from getting themself into trouble then from there we can begin the training process to change the dog’s thinking. As long as the owners are consistent each day then we can definitely change the dog’s thinking.
Do you do group classes?
Not just yet, but watch this space! *hint*
Is puppy training something that you offer?
Of course! We know how tricky those first few weeks/months with a new puppy can be, especially if youโre a first time dog owner. But weโre here to help! From crate or toilet training to lead walking and socialisation, we are able to cover it all with you to help your dog get off to the best start.
Are you able to train service/therapy dogs?
We can set the puppy up to set a solid foundation however, we would recommend you to a specialist.
How long does it take to get results?
We can see results in just 1 session as we make it easy enough for the dog to understand. Once they are comfortable we continue to increase the criteria.
Can family or children attend sessions?
Yes, itโs important that each family member is on the same page in order for the dog to get consistency. However, we do ask that children stand on the side and watch to prevent the dog from getting distracted.
What type of treats should I use whilst training?
High value treats are recommended as this really motivates the dog in wanting to work. Cocktail sausages or cooked chicken are a great starting point.
Are the fees refundable?
Yes, if cancellations are made at least 48 hours prior to any booked session. Please see our T&Cs for more details.
