Dog Training Services In Leamington Spa
121 Puppy Training
Bringing home a puppy can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time. My one-to-one puppy programmes help owners develop strong foundations while addressing the practical challenges that often appear during the first months.
Support may include toilet training, crate training, biting, recall, lead walking, calm behaviour, confidence and settling at home.
The programme is suited to owners who want clear guidance from the beginning and would value support that reflects their puppy’s personality, household and daily routine.
121 Dog Training
The adult dog training programmes help owners improve the skills that make everyday life more enjoyable. This may include walking calmly on the lead, returning when called, listening around distractions, managing excitement and settling more easily.
I first look at what is happening in your dog’s normal environment before creating a plan that fits your goals and lifestyle. Sessions may include home-based coaching, training walks, practical exercises and continued support between appointments.
This option is ideal for owners who want focused one-to-one help rather than generic group advice.
Behaviour Support Programmes
Behaviour concerns can affect walks, visitors, home life and an owner’s confidence. I support dogs who bark, lunge, react, worry, struggle around other dogs or find certain situations difficult to manage.
My approach looks beyond the behaviour itself. I consider what may be triggering the response, how the dog is feeling and what changes can help them cope more successfully.
Owners receive practical strategies, structured exercises and guidance that helps them understand what to do both during and between sessions.
Separation Anxiety Support
Dogs experiencing separation anxiety can become distressed when left, even for short periods. My online support helps owners understand their dog’s current tolerance and work through a gradual training plan.
The programme may be suitable for dogs who bark, pace, panic, become destructive or cannot settle when separated from their owner.
Online delivery allows progress to take place within the dog’s normal home environment, where separation-related difficulties occur.
Breed-Specific Dog Training
Breed tendencies can influence how a dog learns, responds to stimulation and copes with daily life. I adapt our support to the individual dog while also considering the natural traits associated with their breed or crossbreed.
Spaniels may benefit from recall work, scent-based activities, impulse control and suitable outlets for their working drive. Cockapoos, Cavapoos, Sproodles and other poodle crosses may need greater support with independence, barking, anxiety and calm behaviour.
Breed-aware training helps owners use their dog’s natural strengths while addressing the challenges most relevant to their home and lifestyle.
Additional Training Support & Resources
Owners who want to continue learning at home can use our online dog training courses. Available resources cover areas such as puppy foundations, recall, everyday behaviour and helping dogs feel more comfortable when left alone.
These courses can provide additional structure between one-to-one sessions or offer a flexible starting point for owners who prefer self-paced learning.
My dog training approach explains how we combine whole-dog assessment, owner coaching and reward-based methods to support meaningful change.
Local Insights & Area Information
Owners often need help with situations that arise during normal walks, busy household routines and regular outings. A dog may behave calmly at home but struggle around distractions, or respond well indoors but lose focus once outside.
The programmes can help with:
- Building focus around dogs and people
- Improving lead skills on regular walking routes
- Developing reliable recall
- Supporting dogs who feel worried outdoors
- Helping puppies cope with new environments
- Reducing barking and over-excitement at home
- Creating calmer routines for both dog and owner
Training is adapted around the environments and situations that matter in your daily life rather than being limited to controlled exercises that are difficult to use elsewhere.

Reviews From Our Customers
Frequently Asked Questions
What Training Can You Help With?
I support puppy training, recall, lead walking, over-excitement, barking, reactivity, separation anxiety, confidence and other everyday behaviour concerns.
How Do I Start The Process?
Send me some information about your dog, their age, the difficulties you are experiencing and the changes you would like to see. We can then discuss the most appropriate programme.
Are Your Programmes One-To-One?
Yes. My main puppy, dog and behaviour services are personalised one-to-one programmes created around the individual dog and owner.
Do You Provide Group Classes?
My priority is tailored individual support rather than conventional group training. Separation anxiety support may include online group or one-to-one options depending on the programme available.
Can Training Happen At Home?
Yes. Home sessions may be appropriate where behaviour is connected to the household environment, visitors, settling or daily routines. Training walks may also be used where outdoor skills need attention.
Can You Work With Anxious Dogs?
Yes. I support dogs who worry, react or struggle to cope in certain situations. Training is adapted to the dog’s emotional needs and current ability.
Do You Train Spaniels & Doodle Breeds?
Yes. I have experience supporting spaniels and poodle crosses, including Cocker Spaniels, Springer Spaniels, Cockapoos, Cavapoos, Cockerpoos and Sproodles.
When Should I Expect Results?
Progress depends on the dog, the behaviour being addressed and how consistently the plan is followed. Some owners notice early changes within a few sessions, while more complex concerns require steady, gradual work.
What Will The Programme Cost?
Pricing varies according to the service and support required. Once we understand your dog’s needs, we can explain the relevant programme and what is included.
The right training should help both the dog and the owner feel more capable. My programmes combine practical exercises, emotional understanding and ongoing coaching so that progress can continue beyond the session and become part of everyday life.
