121 Dog Training Coventry
& Behaviour Consultations

Would you love walks that feel easier and more enjoyable for both of you?

Do you struggle to get your dog’s attention or help them settle around everyday distractions?

121 Dog Training in Coventry

Maybe your dog is lovely at home, but the moment you step outside it feels like all their training disappears.

They’re pulling you from one smell to the next, you’re calling them and getting completely ignored, or you’re constantly trying to get their attention when everything else around them seems more interesting than you.

Perhaps your dog walks have become frustrating rather than enjoyable. You might be avoiding letting your dog off lead because you don’t trust them to come back when called, or wondering why the training that works perfectly at home seems to disappear outside.

Or maybe it’s the everyday things at home that are becoming difficult. Jumping up at visitors, barking for attention, struggling to settle, or simply feeling as though your dog never really switches off.

Being a dog owner isn’t always a smooth ride, but with a clear training plan that focuses on both your goals and your dog’s needs, things can change.

Through my 121 dog training in Coventry, I’ll help you understand why your dog is behaving the way they are and give you practical, kind and proven training methods that work in real life.

Together, we’ll build the skills you actually need for everyday life, whether that’s a dog who walks with you rather than pulling you along, comes back when called, can focus around distractions, settles more easily or simply feels easier and more enjoyable to live with.

This isn’t just about teaching your dog to sit, stay or come when called. It’s about helping you understand each other better, building a stronger relationship and making everyday life with your dog something you can enjoy again.

Personalised 121 Dog Training Through My Dream Dog Programme

The Dream Dog Programme is my personalised 121 dog training programme, designed to help you build a great relationship with your dog while developing everyday skills that make life together with your dog easier and more enjoyable.

Rather than focusing on one problem in isolation, we look at your dog as an individual, what’s happening in your everyday life and the skills they need to learn.

We can work on things such as:

Recall and coming back when called
Loose lead walking
Building focus and engagement outside
Ignoring distractions
Jumping up at people
Calm greetings and everyday manners
Settling at home, in cafés or pubs
Barking or whining for attention
Impulse control
Chasing and becoming overly distracted outside
Building better communication between you and your dog

Everything is tailored to your dog, your lifestyle and the things you actually want to be able to do together.

Does your dog bark or lunge at dogs or people, guard food or toys, struggle with fears or find it difficult to cope when left alone? These are behaviour concerns rather than general training problems, and I offer separate specialist support for these.

Why I Work With You Over Several Weeks

Real-life dog training rarely changes in a single session. That’s why I work with you and your dog over several weeks, giving you the time and support to turn what we practise together into skills that work in everyday life.

Your dog might understand something beautifully in your living room, but taking that same skill into the garden, onto your normal walk or around distractions is a completely different challenge. We build things gradually, at a pace that works for your dog.

It also means I can see how things are progressing, help you when something isn’t quite working and adapt your training as your dog develops new skills.

You’re not simply given a training plan and left to get on with it. I’m there to guide and support you throughout the programme, so we can make changes together as you and your dog progress.

What Does the Dream Dog Programme Include?

Your Dream Dog Programme takes place over eight weeks, giving us time to understand what’s happening, put your training into practice and adapt things as you and your dog progress.

Before we begin, you’ll complete an in-depth History Form covering your dog, their background and your life together. This gives me a detailed picture before we meet and means we can make the best possible use of our time together from the very first session.

We then start with an initial consultation at your home, lasting approximately 90 minutes to two hours. We’ll talk through everything you’ve shared in more detail, look at what’s happening in everyday life and begin putting some initial training in place.

You’ll then have four further 121 dog training sessions, each lasting approximately 45 minutes. These sessions allow us to build on your dog’s progress, introduce new skills when they’re ready and adapt the training if something isn’t quite working as expected.

Throughout the eight weeks, I’ll also check in with you by email between sessions, so you’re supported as you put the training into practice at home.

All of your sessions are personalised to you, your dog and your training goals. There isn’t a generic plan that every dog follows. What we work on, how quickly we progress and where we focus our time will depend on what you and your dog actually need.

When you’re ready to start your training journey with me, book a call with me, so together we can get you started.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my dog too old to train?

Not at all. Dogs of all ages can learn new behaviours with the right approach. Whether your dog is a young adult or a senior companion, kind, reward-based training can help improve behaviour, confidence and your relationship together.

Why does my dog ignore me outside?

The outside world is full of exciting sights, sounds and smells that compete for your dog’s attention. Rather than being stubborn, your dog may simply need help learning to focus around distractions. Together, we’ll build reliable engagement and recall step by step.

Why is my dog perfect at home but not on walks?

Dogs don’t automatically transfer behaviours from one environment to another. What they can do confidently at home often needs to be practised again in more distracting locations. My programmes help dogs gradually succeed in real-world environments.

Can you help if I’ve already tried training before?

Yes. Many owners come to me after trying classes, online advice or other forms of training. I’ll talk to you about what you have already tried, what worked, what did not work and where you are still struggling.

I will not simply ask you to repeat the same approach. I’ll look at your dog’s individual needs, behaviour and environment before creating a tailored plan to help you move forward. The aim is to give you a clearer understanding of your dog and practical support that feels achievable for both of you.

Do I need a full programme if I only need help with one thing, like lead pulling?

Sometimes a single session can be enough for a very straightforward training question. But often things like lead pulling are connected to focus, distraction, excitement, frustration or difficulty coping with the environment.

Working together over several weeks gives us time to understand what’s really going on, build the right foundations and adapt the training as your dog progresses, rather than giving you a few exercises and leaving you to work the rest out alone.

How many sessions will my dog need?

My 121 dog training is delivered through my eight-week Dream Dog Programme. We start with an in-depth initial session, followed by four further training sessions, giving us time to build skills gradually and work on them in real-life situations.

Every dog learns at their own pace, but working together over several weeks means we can adapt the training as your dog progresses, rather than trying to solve everything in a single session.
