The Compassionate Canine: Supporting You and Your Dog Every Step of the Way
We know that building a strong, trusting bond with your dog isn’t always easy—it takes time, patience, and the right support. That’s why our training is designed to be accessible, flexible, and rooted in understanding both you and your dog’s unique needs.
Our pricing reflects our commitment to long-term success, but we also offer pay-as-you-go options for those who prefer a more flexible approach. If you’re facing financial challenges, please reach out—we’ll always do our best to help. Because every owner deserves support, and every dog deserves a chance to thrive.
Have a look at our training programmes below, and let’s start this journey together!
Private Training Classes – Tailored Support for You and Your Dog
Our private training classes are designed to provide personalised, one-on-one attention to address your dog’s unique needs and challenges. Whether you're tackling behavioural issues or simply enhancing your dog's skills, these sessions allow us to focus on what matters most to you and your dog.
We understand that financial constraints can sometimes make training seem out of reach, so we encourage you to get in touch. We offer flexible pricing plans to ensure that anyone who is committed to improving their dog’s behaviour can still access our packages.
Our packages are carefully structured to encourage long-term commitment—behavioural modification can be a slow and steady process, and we want to make sure you're supported throughout. We’re here to help you make lasting progress, and together we’ll ensure that giving up is never an option!
Our Specialties
Puppy Training
When it comes to puppy training, we focus on setting up a strong foundation that will serve both you and your puppy throughout their life. Our programme is designed to cover the essential skills and behaviours that will guide your puppy as they grow and develop into a well-rounded adult dog. Over the course of six sessions, we’ll work on the following primary areas:
-
Socialisation & Body Language Understanding: Helping your puppy build positive associations with new environments, people, and other dogs, while also teaching you how to interpret your puppy’s body language to better understand their needs and emotions.
-
Basic Manners: Introducing essential commands such as sit, stay, and down, and teaching your puppy how to behave in everyday situations (e.g., greeting guests calmly).
-
Lead Skills: Ensuring that your puppy walks politely on a lead, developing good leash manners that make walks enjoyable for both of you.
-
Recall: Teaching your puppy to reliably come when called, which is a vital skill for their safety and for fostering a trusting relationship between you and your dog.
-
Building Calm: Working on exercises to help your puppy remain calm in exciting or overstimulating situations, preventing behaviours such as jumping, mouthing, or excessive barking.
-
Potty Training: Guiding you through the process of effective potty training to ensure your puppy understands where and when to relieve themselves.
Through these sessions, we aim to equip you with the tools and knowledge to guide your puppy through their crucial developmental stages, helping them grow into a well-behaved, confident dog who understands how to navigate the world around them.
First Step – Your Foundation Session (£65)
This is where we begin. A lovely, relaxed 1.5-hour session where we can really get stuck into everything puppy-related from the start.
What’s included:
✔️ A short pre-session questionnaire (so I can get to know your pup and what you need help with)
✔️ A full 90 minutes together, with plenty of time to cover all the essentials
✔️ Personalised written notes afterwards — so you always know what to work on
✔️ Help with things like toilet training, socialisation, biting, sleep routines and setting up good habits early on
It’s a chance to ask all the questions, feel supported, and leave feeling calmer and more confident about life with your new pup.
Ongoing Sessions – £55 each (or £265 for a full block of 5 after foundation)
After your foundation session, we’ll move into your remaining five 1-hour sessions to build on what we’ve started and guide you through your puppy’s development.
Each session includes:
✔️ Continued 1-to-1 support focused on your pup’s age and needs
✔️ Written notes after each session
✔️ WhatsApp support in between — because questions always pop up with puppies!
You can space these sessions weekly or fortnightly — whatever works best for your routine and your puppy’s pace.
Pre-Pay Full Package – £320 (Save £20)*
If you’d like to book the full puppy package upfront (1.5hr foundation + 5 x 1hr follow-ups), you’ll get it all for £320 instead of £340 — a little thank-you for planning ahead.
Keep Going – Adolescent Support
Once your puppy reaches those trickier teenage months, you might notice some new behaviours cropping up. Totally normal (and gosh, they can be cheeky!).
If you've completed the puppy package, you’ll get a special discount on adolescent training sessions, so you’ll always get support as your dog grows up.
What You Always Get
No matter what stage your puppy’s at, every session includes:
✔️ My full attention and guidance
✔️ Personalised written notes (because it’s hard to remember everything on the spot!)
✔️ WhatsApp support between sessions
✔️ A kind, understanding, and no-pressure approach — always without judgment

Reactive Dog Training
For reactive dogs, we take a comprehensive, tailored approach to address the unique challenges your dog is facing. Whether your dog is a young puppy showing frustration, a rehomed anxious dog, or an older dog exhibiting aggression that has made you feel uncertain or nervous, we understand that each situation requires a unique, thoughtful solution. With this in mind, we will create a personalised training plan that takes into account your dog’s specific history and needs. Our goal is to guide you through the process of building a calm, confident relationship with your dog, using methods that are rooted in positivity, compassion, and understanding.
We focus on several key areas to help you and your dog thrive:
-
Addressing Behaviour: We’ll work on building strong, positive behaviours that counteract reactive tendencies, focusing on engagement, calmness, and lead skills to help your dog stay focused and in control.
-
Building Confidence: Confidence is key for reactive dogs. We work on helping your dog build confidence away from their triggers first, then gradually and safely expose them to these triggers, reframing their response to each situation.
-
Breed Knowledge: While we don’t focus heavily on breed-specific issues, we do emphasise the importance of understanding your dog’s inherent behaviours and natural instincts. By incorporating outlet activities that match your dog’s breed tendencies, we can help release pent-up energy in healthy ways.
-
Support for You: Dealing with reactive behaviour can be tough, both for you and your dog. I recognise the emotions that can come with training, such as concern, guilt, or frustration, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. My goal is to equip you with the tools, confidence, and guidance to navigate previously challenging situations, making your training journey a positive one for both you and your dog.
Whatever your dog’s background or behaviour, together we can develop the training plan that works best for your situation, empowering both you and your dog to succeed.
First Step – Your Foundation Session (£95)
This is where we begin. A lovely two-hour session where we can really get stuck in.
What’s included:
✔️ A pre-session assessment (so I can get to know you both before we even meet)
✔️ A full two hours together, focused just on you and your dog
✔️ Personalised written notes afterwards — so you’re never left wondering what to do next
✔️ Tips and lifestyle tweaks to make life a little easier right away
It’s a chance for you to ask all the questions, feel heard, and walk away with a clear plan that feels manageable and hopeful.
£150 for a block of 3
After your first session, we’ll move into follow-up training — this is where we really start to see progress.
Each session is an hour long and includes:
✔️ Continued 1-to-1 training
✔️ Follow-up notes with each session
✔️ WhatsApp support in between — so you’re never left feeling stuck or unsure
You can book sessions one at a time at £55, or, if it feels right for you, go for a block of 3 for £150 (which saves you a bit — lovely!).
The best part? The timing is flexible. No pressure to book weekly — we’ll space them in a way that suits your dog, your schedule, and your life.
Keep Going
Once you’ve done your first four sessions, you might feel ready to carry on solo, or you might want a bit more support. Totally up to you.
You’re welcome to continue with:
• Individual sessions at £55
• Or blocks of 3 for £150 again, whenever suits you
I’ll be here for as long as you’d like — whether it’s to tackle new challenges, fine-tune things, or just have someone in your corner while you keep going.
What You Always Get
No matter what stage you’re at, every session includes:
✔️ My full attention and support
✔️ Personalised written notes (because it’s easy to forget things in the moment!)
✔️ WhatsApp support between sessions
✔️ A friendly, understanding approach — always without judgment
