Behaviour Home Visits

Not all behaviour problems can be fully assessed in a training class. Some issues happen only in the home, making a home visit the most effective way to understand what is really going on and create a tailored plan for your dog and family.

Home visits can help with:

• Barking and nuisance behaviours
• Separation anxiety and distress when left alone
• Reactivity towards dogs or people
• Resource guarding of food, toys or furniture
• Fearful and nervous behaviour
• Household aggression
• Multi dog household issues
• Lead pulling and poor manners at home
• Destructive behaviours
• Excessive excitement and lack of impulse control
• Puppy problems including mouthing, jumping up and toilet training
• Rescue dogs struggling to settle into family life

Every consultation includes a full behavioural assessment, practical training advice and a personalised behaviour plan designed specifically for your dog.

Over 30 years of professional experience helping owners build calmer, happier relationships with their dogs.

📍 Home visits available across Norfolk and surrounding areas.

Calling all Labrador and Spaniel owners… and every other gundog breed

If your dog is strong on the lead, easily distracted, obsessed with retrieving (or just runs off with everything 😅)… this is for you.

Our Gundog Training classes are designed for pet dogs giving them an outlet for their natural instincts in a way that actually improves everyday behaviour.

Better recall
Loose lead walking
Calm, controlled retrieves
Focus around distractions
…and a dog that listens, even when it’s exciting

This isn’t about working your dog in the field it’s about creating a calmer, more responsive dog you can enjoy walking anywhere.

✔ Labradors, Cocker Spaniels, Springer Spaniels, Cockapoos
✔ Golden Retrievers, Flat Coats, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers
✔ Vizslas, Weimaraners, German Shorthaired Pointers
✔ Plus all other gundog breeds welcome

✔ Puppies from 6 months and adults
✔ Fun, reward-based training
✔ Classes from foundation through to advanced
✔ 1 to 1 sessions also available

If you’ve got a gundog breed, this kind of training makes a huge difference.

How do you teach “Recall”
Most pet dogs are taught to chase first and retrieve second. Gundogs are taught to retrieve first and chase second. By teaching the final part of the exercise before the beginning, the dog develops a much more reliable and polished retrieve.”

It’s a great example of why specialist gundog training often looks quite different from general pet dog training, even though both may use positive reinforcement methods.

DACHSHUND TRAINING CLASS
“Because dachshunds play by their own rules…” 😄

A 5 week training course designed specifically for dachshunds and the unique challenges that often come with them!

Yes, we cover all the important basics such as:

✔ Recall
✔ Loose lead walking
✔ Sit, stay and wait
✔ Focus and engagement
✔ Everyday manners

But we’ll also tackle some of the things dachshunds are famous for…

🐶 Barking and reactivity
🐶 Selective hearing!
🐶 Pulling on the lead
🐶 Digging
🐶 Confidence issues
🐶 Over excitement
🐶 Breed specific behaviours and common challenges

This is not just a general obedience class. It’s a course created with dachshunds in mind by an experienced behaviourist and trainer who understands that one size doesn’t fit all.

5 week course • £100 for the full course

Places are limited.

🏡 In-Home Training

5 session in-home training course.

This works really well for both puppies and adult dogs. Whether you’re starting from scratch or just want to improve things, working in your own home makes a big difference as it’s where everything actually happens day to day.

Each session is tailored to you, so we’ll cover whatever you need help with, whether that’s getting the basics in place with a puppy or improving control and consistency with an older dog.

The course is 5 x 1 hour sessions, and I’ll guide you through what to work on between each one so you keep progressing.

It’s ideal for things like obedience, lead work, recall and general behaviour around the home.

Within 10 miles of Poringland only

You can book your first session through the website and I’ll arrange the rest with you.

(Not suitable for aggression)
