Booking & Getting Started training with us.
How do I know whether I need Classes, General training 121 or a Behaviour consultation?
Training Classes are ideal for dogs that simply need training and guidance. Whether you have a new puppy or an older dog, our classes focus on building reliable everyday skills including recall, loose-lead walking, engagement, obedience and good manners around distractions.
A Behaviour Consultation is recommended if your dog is displaying behaviours that are affecting everyday life, such as:
• Reactivity towards dogs or people
• Aggression or biting
• Resource guarding
• Separation-related behaviours
• Excessive barking
• Fear or anxiety
• Chasing livestock or wildlife
• Over-arousal or poor impulse control
• Problems with visitors or handling
Behaviour consultations are carried out on a one-to-one basis and are tailored specifically to your dog. We assess the behaviour, identify the underlying causes and develop a practical training plan that works for both you and your dog.
Many dogs begin with behaviour sessions before progressing into group classes when they're ready.
If you're unsure where to start, just get in touch and we'll happily recommend the most suitable option.
Individual ‘General training’. Is suitable for building your focus & engagement through clear structured training such as Loose lead walking, Recall, Sit/down/stay, jumping in the car etc…. to suit both you and your dog.

What happens at my first behaviour consultation?
Your first appointment is all about understanding your dog.
We'll discuss your dog's history, daily routine, behaviour, lifestyle and any concerns you have before carrying out an assessment. This allows us to understand not only what your dog is doing, but why.
You'll leave with practical training exercises, clear advice and a personalised plan to start working on straight away. We'll also discuss the most appropriate next steps for you and your dog.

How long are appointments?
Our appointments are designed to give you plenty of time to make real progress.
• Initial Behaviour Consultation: 90 minutes
• Follow-up Behaviour Sessions: 60 minutes
• One-to-One Training Sessions and classes: 60 minutes
Every session is tailored to your individual goals and your dog's needs.

Do you offer home visits?
Yes.
Home visits are available where working in your dog's own environment is the most appropriate option, although behaviour and training issues can also be successfully addressed at our purpose-built FromeK9 Training Centre, where we have a safe, controlled environment with fewer distractions.
We'll always recommend the location that gives you and your dog the best chance of success.
________________________________________
Do you cover my area?
We work with clients throughout Somerset and the surrounding counties, with many owners travelling much further to visit our training centre in Frome.
Home visits are available within our designated catchment area and are subject to location and availability.
If you're unsure whether we can cover your area, simply contact us with your postcode and we'll be happy to advise.
________________________________________
What happens after my first Behaviour session?
Training doesn't stop when your appointment ends.
You'll leave with clear guidance, practical exercises and achievable goals to work on at home. Depending on your dog's progress, we may recommend additional behaviour sessions, one-to-one training or progression into one of our group classes.
Every dog learns at their own pace, so we tailor our recommendations to suit each individual dog rather than following a fixed programme.
________________________________________
Do you offer follow-up support?
Yes.
We're committed to supporting you throughout your training journey.
For behaviour consultations and one-to-one training, support continues through your follow-up sessions, allowing us to review progress, adjust your training plan and help you overcome any new challenges as they arise.
Our aim is to give you the knowledge, confidence and support needed to achieve lasting success with your dog.
