Edinburgh Based Dog Training

Changing your dog's behaviour requires not only training skills but also earning their trust and respect. Together, we will achieve this through improved communication, empathy, and patience.

I can help you better understand your dog and strengthen your bond. My dog training sessions are individually tailored to meet the unique needs of both, you and your dog.

I offer a variety of dog training services in Edinburgh in the location needed, at your home or local park.

Is your dog struggling with everyday life or specific situations, showing undesired behaviours? They might be fearful, frustrated, or overwhelmed due to genetics, early upbringing, miscommunication, or traumatic experiences. I can help you gain a better understanding of your dog, change their emotional association, and improve their reactions to the environment. I can also show you how to deal with certain situations and help you help your dog. This force free dog training comes with a training summary as well and ongoing support.

This service is for anyone looking to develop or enhance their dog's basic skills. If your dog isn't listening to you or if you don't feel like a team, or if they struggle with basic activities, I can help. Together, we'll improve your understanding of and ability to motivate your dog. We can work on communication and trust as well as teaching all the basic cues that help you navigate owning a dog in a city. There are always ways to reinforce their good choices with force free training. By showing you your dogs potential, you will be motivated to keep up the dog training.

Proper socialisation and training are crucial for puppies, and it's best to start with fun and patience. Even experienced puppy owners often have many questions about training, health, socialisation, exercise, toileting, feeding, sleeping, rest, and managing natural but challenging behaviours like biting and digging. This training program is designed for puppies up to 7 months old, addressing all these aspects to ensure your puppy grows into a well-behaved and happy dog. My Edinburgh based puppy training is a 1-2-1 service.

I meet your dog where he is at, setting realistic goals based on their abilities. We move at your dog's pace and adapt to your skill level, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable experience.

I won't judge your previous approach. Instead, I'll explain and demonstrate my gentle, force-free techniques that use positive rewards. These methods enable your dog to make better choices that can be reinforced, adding fun, respect, and autonomy to the training process.

We work within your dog's comfort zone to enhance learning. My holistic approach to dog training can address stress triggers, health issues, nutrition, communication, breed-specific needs, and both physical and mental stimulation for more severe problems.
