Bespoke training sessions to meet you and your dog where you’re at
Our one to one dog training classes are bespoke to you and your dog’s needs. Whatever your dog’s temperament, from shy to exuberant, our sessions are fun and encouraging. Regardless of age or breed, this style of training will work for you: it will teach your dog to make the right choice in any situation
Together with my best boy Merlin, I will teach you the Pro Dog trainer principles of reinforcing good choices through play and games. Your dog will learn concepts such as calmness, proximity, and disengagement. These alone will help your dog see you as the centre of their world.

Book your one to one session
Our 90 minute sessions can be booked Monday through to Saturday, between 10am and 6pm. Initially, we start our sessions at your home because it’s where your dog is happiest and in their best state to learn. We then progress to running our sessions at King George V Playing field, Topsham Road, Exeter.
For puppies, we look to split our sessions into two 45 minute blocks per week simply because puppies can’t concentrate as long!
Once you have booked in with me, you don’t just receive the training session, but I am here for all your dog training needs. You’ll be free to drop me a text and I’ll help you out in your day to day training with your dog as you practice the techniques you’ve picked up.
To achieve a successful lesson, you will need to:
Ensure you bring a hungry dog. Concept training is reward based. A great reward for most dogs is food.
Please bring the food you would normally feed your dog before the session ie. Morning session, their breakfast. Evening session, their dinner.
You can also bring extra treats, sausage, chicken as higher value rewards.
We do use toys as well. You will be asked to bring toys to some sessions.
Please don’t over walk your dog on the day of their training session. The training is hard work for your dog and they will be physically and mentally tired out by it.
Please bring a bed of some kind. A raised bed or something with raised sides.
