Please note - these are only available to clients who have already had private or group training with Sarah.
Reasons you might want to book a training walk...
- other dog walkers/ sitters have said they can't help until your dog has had some training
- they pull so much it's hurting you
- you've become anxious when walking them, but still want to be part of the training experience
- you need them to be looked after while you're out, and want them to be trained at the same time
Reasons you might want to book a training home visit...
- there are specific issues within the house that you want an intensive training session for
- you need your dog to be entertained while you're out and have company, and want them to be trained at the same time
- you have a young puppy, and want them trained in the house and garden while you're out (especially useful for unvaccinated pups)
The training
Sarah will use reward-based training (food, play, praise and life rewards), working on whatever training goals have been discussed.
If your dog pulls, she may use/ recommend different equipment, such as a headcollar or harness and double-ended lead - but this will have been discussed/ tried out during private training.
It's best if you supply food treats that your dog enjoys and that is suitable for their health - if your dog has a particular allergy or intolerance you need to let Sarah know.
Sarah does not use slip leads, dominance/ control collars, prong collars or e-collars.
At the moment for training walks, dogs will be walked from owner's homes, rather than taken in Sarah's car (unless there are small dogs able to be in a small travel crate).
If you wish to be an observer, you can bring your dog to a suitable location eg a park, and the training walk will happen there while you watch.
You can also be an observer for a training home visit - sit back and watch, and take notes!
It's important to remember that Sarah will be working on skills that your dog needs to continue learning with you. She cannot wave a 'magic wand' and your dog is suddenly well-behaved. She will explain/ demonstrate the techniques she uses so that you are able to practise.
