Dog training doesn’t just happen in a training hall — it happens in everyday life.

That’s why my bespoke home visits and real world training sessions are designed around your dog, your environment, and the situations you actually face day to day.

I’m Jo, a science-based and ethical dog trainer offering personalised one-to-one training. My goal is to help you build practical skills, confidence, and a calmer relationship with your dog using kind, evidence-based methods that work in the real world.

Training Where It Matters Most
Dogs do not automatically generalise learning from one environment to another.
A dog who can focus beautifully in a quiet training class may still struggle:

• On walks
• Around other dogs
• In busy public spaces
• At home with visitors
• Near livestock or wildlife
• In cafés, parks, or town centres
• When real-life distractions appear

By working together in the environments where challenges actually happen, we can create training that is practical, relevant, and sustainable.
Sessions may take place:

• In your home
• On local walks
• In parks and public spaces
• Around cafés or town environments
• In countryside settings
• Anywhere your dog needs support

A Bespoke Service Tailored to Your Dog
No two dogs are the same.
Every training plan is adapted to your dog’s:

• Personality
• Breed traits
• Emotional needs
• Learning history
• Confidence levels
• Age and development
• Home environment
• Lifestyle

Whether you have a young puppy, adolescent dog, rescue dog, or an older companion needing support, training is tailored specifically to your goals and challenges.
This personalised approach allows us to work at the right pace for your dog.
