1:1 Bespoke sessions
As our companions it is essential that we can all get along, sometimes a dog's behaviour can put strain on this and be difficult to live with.
One to one sessions typically last 1 hour, but 1.5 hours will be required on the initial session to take a thorough history of the particular difficulty you may be experiencing and formulate a training plan that will work for you and your dog. One to one sessions can be held at our classroom in Cirencester or your home, just select which is preferable on booking. You'll also receive **10 weeks access** to Succeeding Together .
Depending on what problems you may be experiencing, a veterinary referral may be required, this is to ensure that there are no underlying medical considerations that need to be taken into account and it is often vital to work closely alongside your vet. You may be referred onto a behaviourist should your dog require medication to support their training or if longer term behavioural help is required.

When to choose one to one training:
Training difficulties
Do you need extra help with training your dog not to jump up, to come back when called, or have an older dog that you would like to train? Perhaps they are a rescue dog and missed out on socialisation and early training?
New puppy
Would you like advice on where to start with training, socialisation, how to manage puppy chewing and mouthing, house training or with other areas of difficulty?
Does your dog struggle in a training class environment?
You are not alone with this, often training in the home environment can suit some dogs better. It may be that you would like to work up to your dog coming to class but need to put a few things in place first.
Would you like advice on managing dogs and children, especially with keeping everyone safe?
Did you hope that having a dog would benefit your children but they don't seem to be getting on? Would you like them to have a stronger relationship?
Would you like your dog to be able to do specific tasks that you would find helpful?
Having a dog around is good for us, but perhaps you would like your dog to be able to do practical tasks like retrieve, target with their paw or close the door behind them? Perhaps you and your dog are involved with therapy work but you need some extra help with specific training?
Individual 1:1 at home (or our classroom in Cirencester when arranged) sessions (puppy and adult), offering flexibility in what you would like to cover.
