Dog Training in York | 1-to-1 Training for Puppies & Adult Dogs
Struggling with pulling on the lead, recall, over-excitement, or behaviour that feels out of control?
My dog training services in York are designed to help you build calm, reliable behaviour using kind, reward-based methods that actually work in the real world — not just in a training hall.
Whether you’re working with a young dog, an adolescent nightmare phase, or an adult dog with ingrained habits, training is tailored to you, your dog, and your lifestyle.
Reward-Based Dog Training for Real-Life Behaviour
Who I Help
I work with dog owners across York who want:
Calm, enjoyable walks
Better focus around distractions
Reliable recall
Reduced jumping up, pulling, barking, or over-excitement
Clear guidance using modern training methods
Results they can maintain long-term
If your dog listens at home but “forgets everything” outside — you’re not alone, and you’re not doing anything wrong.
1-to-1 Dog Training in York
Training is offered primarily through 1-to-1 sessions, allowing us to work directly on your specific challenges in the environments where they actually happen.
Common training areas include:
Loose lead walking
Recall and engagement
Jumping up and impulse control
Over-excitement and lack of focus
General obedience and manners

Biting and mouthing
Calm behaviour and focus
Basic cues (sit, down, recall foundations)
