Schooling 4 Dogs & Humans - Trainer & Behaviourist in Worthing, West Sussex

I offer behaviour consultations and 121 training sessions within an approx. 20-mile radius of Brighton and Hove. (See coverage area here.)

I use modern, scientific and force-free approaches to provide you and your dog the best experience of training and behaviour modification. My methods focus on teaching and reinforcing good choices, reducing stress and anxiety, build trusting and communicative dog-human relationships and giving your dog skills to cope in the world.

Training
121 training sessions are tailored to make sure that you and your dog have the tools to help you understand and communicate with each other better and navigate the world harmoniously.​

121 sessions can cover a multitude of training skills, including tricks and obedience, recall, lead walking, crate-training, jumping up and engagement/connection-building. 121s are suitable for any age and stage, whether you have a new puppy, new rescue dog or want to refresh your adult dog's training!​

After our 121 session, you will receive a training plan you can implement going onwards, and follow-up sessions will help you progress your dog's training, introduce new skills and troubleshoot any issues you may have.

Behaviour Consultations
Behaviour consultations are different from training courses in that training is about teaching a dog a new skill (like lead walking or recall), whereas behaviour consultations help to reduce or eliminate problematic behaviour (like fear/anxiety, separation anxiety, excessive barking, aggression, reactivity, handling problems and more). 

Behaviour consultations vary from person to person and dog to dog, depending on the behaviour you are looking to change. The process will often start with a call or email conversation to discuss your dog and the problems you are experiencing before meeting you and your dog for a consultation. I will give you a behaviour modification plan after your consultation for you to use as a reference guide going onwards. Most behaviour packages will require follow-up consultations to monitor and further your dog’s progress, and email support is provided between consultations.
