Bespoke Life Skills Dog Training course
Improve your dog's life skills in this private training course which will be specially designed for your dog and your family.
Learning through games
Tailored training for real life
Whether you’re struggling with pulling on the lead, reactivity around other dogs, barking at visitors, or general chaos at home, this course is designed around your dog and your life. No one-size-fits-all plans—just clear guidance, practical tools, and a bit of fun along the way.
Does this sound familiar?
Your dog’s lovely… but also kind of exhausting.
They’re pulling your arm out of its socket on walks.
They bark at the doorbell like it’s a personal attack.
They can’t settle when you need peace.
They ignore you unless you have a chicken in your hand.
You’ve tried some YouTube videos, you’ve asked friends, you might’ve even done a puppy class—but things still feel out of control. And worse, you’re starting to doubt yourself.
It’s frustrating. It’s isolating. And it’s not your fault.
Most training advice is either too vague or too rigid. It doesn’t fit your dog’s personality, your lifestyle, or the specific challenges you’re facing at home and out on walks.
You need a personalised plan. And a trainer who gets it.
That’s where my Bespoke Life Skills Course comes in.
We’ll work together to:
- Unpick what’s going wrong and why
- Put together a plan that fits your dog’s needs, energy level, breed traits and quirks
- Work through practical life skills—from calm greetings to loose lead walking and focus outdoors
- Build your dog’s confidence and help them cope, not just obey
This isn’t about drilling obedience for hours. It’s about helping your dog learn to thrive in everyday life—and helping you feel confident handling anything that crops up.
You'll get:
Examples of what we can cover
- Improved recall
- Pulling on the lead
- Jumping up on people
- Excessive barking
- Separation anxiety
- Improve manners

"A practical, thought provoking and informative course. I would recommend to all with an adolescent dog. This course has improved my understanding, my bond and the way I communicate not just with my dog but also the dogs I work with. As a proffesional dog walker, I have been able to transfer the knowledge and insight I have gained on this course to help improve the behavioural and the emotional well being of the groups I walk. Thanks so much Emma."
