Welcome back.

Training notes, boarding dates and your dog's progress — in one place.

Training

What your dog is telling you — and the four movements we use to answer it.

Scroll
01 — What you are seeing

Your dog isn't making your life difficult. Your dog is showing you something is difficult.

Behaviour is language. Before we change anything, we spend time learning what is being said — and to whom.

Pulling on the leash

The walk that walks you

Tension travels down the lead in both directions. We start by changing what the lead means.

raised hackles, close crop
Reactivity & aggression

Distance, asked for loudly

Most aggression is a request for space that was ignored several quieter signals ago.

Anxiety

A body that never lands

Rest is a skill. We teach it the way we teach anything else — slowly, and with evidence.

Recall

Coming back, willingly

A recall is not obedience. It is a bet your dog makes that you are worth returning to.

Separation

Alone, but not abandoned

Measured in seconds first, then minutes. Never in one leap, and never by letting them cry it out.

02 — The method

Four movements, in order.

01

Observe.

The first session has no exercises in it. We watch — at home, on the street, at the threshold where things go wrong.

02

Understand.

Every behaviour has a function. We map the trigger, the distance, the threshold — and what the dog was actually asking for.

03

Train.

Short, repeatable, unglamorous. Ten good minutes a day, built into the life you already live.

Grow together.

The goal was never a well-behaved dog. It was two of you, reading each other, without needing to be told.

03 — Ways to train

Three ways to work together.

Every path starts with the same free conversation. Written notes after every session and a plan you can actually follow at home are always included.

Puppy start

The first weeks

Four sessions at home and on your street. Handling, rest, alone-time, the world at a safe distance. From 9 weeks.

Behaviour work

Leash, reactivity, anxiety, recall, separation. Where the problem happens — your home, your walk, your threshold.

Social walks

Small groups

Four dogs, one trainer, the hills above the lake. Practising calm around other dogs — for graduates of one-to-one work.

04 — How it starts

We meet you where the problem lives.

No training hall, no artificial set-ups. The dog that pulls on your street is trained on your street — because that is where the change has to hold.

01

A conversation

20 min · free

You tell us what happens, when, and what you have already tried. We tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it.

02

A first visit

90 min · at home

We observe, ask, and walk with you. No exercises yet. You get a written picture of what we saw and a plan for the next weeks.

03

Sessions, and homework

Weekly · 75 min

Short, clear exercises for ten minutes a day. Most dogs need five to eight sessions; we tell you when you no longer need us.

04

Staying in touch

As needed

A message when something new comes up, a social walk now and then. Your notes stay in the client area for as long as you like.
