With structured training and ongoing support between sessions, you’ll have expert backup at every step of the journey.

1-to-1 Personalised Training
Krisztina meets you and your dog in your own home to understand your unique challenges. By observing your dog’s behaviour in familiar settings, she designs a bespoke training plan that addresses specific issues such as recall, lead pulling or reactivity. With direct coaching and hands-on demonstrations, you’ll learn how to communicate effectively, set achievable goals and reinforce positive habits between sessions.

Obedience Foundations
Building strong core skills underpins every aspect of canine behaviour. Doggie Dog focuses on sit, stay, down and heel, using positive reinforcement techniques to make obedience feel rewarding rather than obligatory. These essential commands are practiced until they become reliable habits, giving your dog the structure and confidence needed to succeed in more complex scenarios.

Reliable Recall & Off-Lead Freedom
True recall is both a freedom and a safeguard. Through engaging, reward-based games, Krisztina teaches dogs to return instantly, even amid distractions like busy promenades, wildlife-rich heathland or crowded parks. For high-prey-drive breeds, specialist off-lead training using modern, properly applied remote collars ensures precise, gentle communication, helping your dog learn that coming back to you is always the best choice.

Stress-Free Lead Walking
If walks feel like a tug-of-war, Doggie Dog offers practical solutions to transform them into peaceful outings. Using positive redirection and real-world practice on promenade paths, marsh trails and local parks, Krisztina teaches your dog to walk calmly by your side. You’ll discover strategies to prevent pulling, manage distractions and enjoy every step together.

Behaviour Modification & Puppy Training
From separation anxiety and fear responses to excessive barking or reactivity, every behaviour stems from an emotional trigger. Using science-led desensitisation and reinforcement, Krisztina helps dogs feel secure and confident, not just suppressing reactions. New puppy owners can also benefit from early socialisation and manners training, with sessions designed to build focus, confidence and positive habits from day one. Establishing good foundations early can prevent around 90% of adult behaviour problems.

Whether you’re tackling longstanding challenges or starting with a new puppy, Doggie Dog delivers clear, compassionate guidance every step of the way. By training in the places you live and play, Krisztina ensures your dog’s new skills translate directly to real life.
