PRIVATE TRAINING
Older Puppies
Private training for older puppies (from 5 months and up) is ideal because this is when real habits start to form — and not all of them are the cute ones. One-on-one training allows us to tailor each session to your puppy’s personality, energy, and needs, ensuring faster progress and real-life results. Training takes place in your puppy’s everyday environment, helping them learn to focus despite distractions, while providing structure and guidance through the often-challenging “teenage” phase. Private training also strengthens communication between you and your dog, builds confidence, and is perfect for puppies who may be sensitive, overexcitable, or not suited to group classes. By focusing on the skills that matter most to your lifestyle, private training sets your puppy up to grow into a calm, confident, well-mannered adult dog.


PRIVATE TRAINING
Dogs And Seniors
Private training for older dogs and senior dogs is especially beneficial because habits are often well established, and meaningful change requires a personalised, thoughtful approach. One-on-one sessions allow us to focus on behaviour modification, addressing the root cause of unwanted behaviours rather than simply managing symptoms. Training is tailored to your dog’s history, personality, and any physical or emotional limitations, and takes place in their everyday environment for real-life results. For senior dogs, private training provides gentle structure, mental stimulation, and confidence-building without pressure or overwhelm. By focusing on behaviour modification and the skills that matter most to your lifestyle, private training helps older and senior dogs learn new ways to cope, communicate, and relax — proving that it’s never too late to create positive change.
