Which Dog's Is This Programs For? 🐾
This coaching is designed for dogs who don’t need a behaviourist in the living room, but still need proper guidance to fix the everyday training struggles that drive you round the bend.
🐾 The Overexcited Livewire: Full of beans, jumps at guests, can’t settle, and acts like life is one long party.
🚶♂️ The Lead Puller: Walks beautifully in the kitchen, but the second you go outside, you’re water skiing.
📣 The Shouter: Barks for attention, barks at the TV, barks because a leaf moved. Not aggressive, just… a bit much.
🧠 The Nervous Nellie: Shy, unsure, needs confidence building but doesn’t need an in person specialist.
🏃♀️ The Selective Listener: Comes back indoors perfectly. Outdoors? Suddenly speaks zero English.
🎓 The Keen Learner: Great for trick training, enrichment, and owners who want to teach cool skills properly.
🐕🦺 The Teenage Menace: Hormones, big feelings, dodgy impulse control and a knack for chaos.
If your dog needs guidance, structure or better habits without requiring a full behaviourist case plan, this programme fits them perfectly.
Which Owners Is This Program For? 👩🦰👨
This coaching is built for owners who don’t need a full in person 1:1 programme but still want proper, qualified guidance to actually move things forward.
It’s ideal for you if:
🐕 Your case isn’t severe, but it’s not “DIY simple” either: You know it’s not a behaviourist level problem, but you’d still like expert eyes on what you’re doing.
📹 You’re doing the work but need someone to tell you what to tweak: You’re training, you’re trying… you just want clear direction rather than guesswork.
⏱️ You prefer regular feedback over the occasional in person session: Short videos, quick check ins, small adjustments that add up fast.
💷 You want results without the price of full 1:1s: Practical coaching, personalised steps and ongoing support, without paying for someone to physically come out.
📅 You want structure, accountability and guidance: No more training randomly or hoping it works. You’ll know exactly what to do and why.
🎓 You like learning and being involved in the process: If you want to become better at handling your dog, this is your sweet spot.

FAQ's
How long does the coaching last?
It’s a rolling monthly subscription. Stay as long as you’re making progress and enjoying the support.
Do I need to train every day?
No. You only need to train and send your video on your chosen coaching day. Anything extra is a bonus, not a requirement.
What if I forget to send a video?
Life happens. You simply miss that day’s feedback. Your subscription keeps running as normal.
What kind of problems can this help with?
Pulling, recall, jumping up, over excitement, low confidence, focus around distractions, trick training and general manners. Anything non complex that doesn’t require a full behaviourist visit.
Is this suitable for reactive or aggressive dogs?
No. Anything involving biting, lunging, fear aggression or complex behaviour needs a behaviourist, not an online subscription.
Do I need fancy equipment?
Nope. Just your phone, treats and whatever you normally train with.
How do I send the videos?
WhatsApp. One short clip around one minute long. Easy and fast.
How quickly do I get feedback?
Within 24 hours of sending your clip on your coaching day.
Can more than one person in the household send videos?
Yes, as long as it’s the same dog and the same training goal. Keep it tidy and focused.
Can I change my coaching day?
Yes. Just let us know and we’ll update your slot.
Do I get instant messaging support all week?
No. This programme is structured around your feedback day. If you want ongoing access, you’ll need one of our in person packages.
Terms and Conditions
Please read these carefully before booking. You will be asked to check a box before purchasing to confirm that you have read these.
What’s the commitment period?
Monthly rolling. You can cancel anytime, but there are no partial refunds for unused time.
Purpose and Guarantees of the Training and Behaviour Modification
The aim of our training is to adjust your dog's behaviour and teach them new skills, while also instructing you on how to train and work with your dog effectively. It's important to understand that while our trainers take all appropriate measures to achieve training and behaviour goals, we cannot guarantee specific results. The effectiveness of training can be influenced by various factors, including your dog's individual characteristics, your training ability and commitment to the training process.
Following Trainers' Advice
To achieve the best results, it's crucial that you follow the instructions and advice provided by our trainers. This includes working with your dog daily and consistently reinforcing the desired behaviours. Your active participation and dedication are key to the success of the training program.
What happens if I stop training or don’t send videos?
You’ll still be charged for your subscription. The programme relies on you participating.
Are refunds offered?
No refunds once a month has started, except where required by consumer law.
Is this a replacement for veterinary or behaviourist support?
No. We do not diagnose medical or behavioural disorders. If your dog shows concerning behaviour, we will advise an in person professional.
Can you remove me from the programme?
Yes. If your dog is identified as unsuitable or unsafe for remote coaching, we may cancel your subscription and recommend a better option.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Videos and messages stay on our secure system and are only used for coaching purposes.
Can I swap dogs during the subscription?
No. Each subscription is for one dog. Additional dogs need their own subscription.
What if I need more help than the subscription provides?
We’ll recommend the appropriate in person or behavioural support option.
