Ravendale Training and Behaviour

Ravendale Training and Behaviour – Canine Behaviour Practitioner & Dog Trainer in Partridge Green, West Sussex

Ravendale Training and Behaviour provides kind, ethical support for reactive, fearful and anxious dogs across West Sussex and East Sussex. Led by Ange, a Qualified Canine Behaviour Practitioner, experienced dog trainer and Licensed Family Dog Mediator, the focus is on building calm, confidence and connection for dogs and their humans.

With extensive knowledge of the many different forms of canine aggression and reactivity, Ange supports families experiencing barking, lunging, growling, shutting down due to fear or frustration, and the breakdown of relationships between dogs and their guardians. The approach is compassionate and evidence-based, tailored to real-life environments.

Behaviour sessions in your home are designed to provide you with practical tips, expert guidance and tailored support to help manage and improve a range of challenging behaviours. These sessions address separation anxiety, biting and nipping, aggression towards people or other animals, fear-based behaviours, resource guarding and general behaviour challenges at home, always focusing on the emotional needs of the dog.

Behaviour sessions out on a walk provide practical support, safety strategies and clear guidance. Ideal for reactive dogs who struggle on-lead, dogs who bark, lunge or pull in outdoor settings, or those needing confidence-building in public, these sessions help owners understand and manage their dog’s behaviour calmly and effectively.

The personalised Behaviour Consultation combines in-home and on-walk guidance. This session supports dogs with reactivity, fear, aggression or resource guarding, beginning at home to assess triggers and routines before heading out to observe real-life behaviour and introduce reward-based strategies with a clear plan.

The Confidence & Calm Behaviour Program for anxious or fearful dogs is designed to reduce anxiety and build confidence. Working closely with a qualified practitioner, guardians receive structured, supportive, science-backed guidance for lasting progress and a more relaxed dog.

For training, Puppy Consultations offer guidance on early foundations, routine building, socialisation, basic manners, mental stimulation and enrichment. One-to-One Dog Training Sessions are personalised to suit your goals, covering recall, loose lead walking, basic obedience, scentwork and enrichment, impulse control and dog parkour.

Training packages provide ongoing support and time to reinforce learning and build skills. These sessions are tailored to you and your dog, helping strengthen your bond and achieve consistent, positive results. Training walks are also available for those wanting a professional to focus on loose lead walking, focus around distractions, socialisation and general obedience.

Group options include Reactive and Anxious Dog Classes outdoors in Cowfold, Puppy Classes at Houndie House in Ashurst, Dog Parkour, Good Manners & Social Skills, Fun Scentwork and Fun Tracking & Mantrailing sessions in Henfield. There is also a Free Monthly Dog Adventure Social Walk on the first Saturday of each month, open to all friendly dogs and owners.

Ravendale is fully insured and DBS checked. Support is reliable, trustworthy and centred on calm, patient handling. Ange is committed to lifelong learning and community support, bringing both professional qualifications and lived experience with an anxious and reactive dog to every case.
