What does it cost?
£160 for the first 1.5-hour session at our Chelmsford field (£190 at your home), then £100 an hour for follow-ups at the field (£120 at home). You only book follow-ups when you need them, and every price is on our prices page before you start.
Will it last once we're home?
That is what the sessions are built for. You practise with your own dog until it works for you, not just for Alex, and follow-ups (£100 an hour at the field, £120 at home) can happen where the problem really happens: your street, the park or your home.
Is the training kind?
Yes. Training is done calmly, because frustration, anger and harsh methods only slow progress. We never punish a growl or fear, we explain everything we do and why, and you see exactly what we're doing. Alex is a Master Dog Trainer with the Guild of Dog Trainers.
Why not just do it myself with videos?
You can, and our guides are there to help. Where owners get stuck is timing and reading their own dog. In a session you practise with your dog while Alex coaches, so you see what works for your dog, not a dog in a video. Alex has worked with more than 10,000 dogs in over 15 years.
Is it too late to change these habits?
No. Puppy training starts from 8 weeks, but older puppies and teenage dogs learn too. The sooner a habit is changed, the easier it is, which is why we suggest starting now rather than waiting for your puppy to grow out of it.
When should I get help with my puppy?
As soon as something worries you. Habits are far easier to change early, especially biting that's getting harder, guarding, panic when left, or fear that's growing.
Is puppy biting normal?
Yes. Puppies explore with their mouths and most grow out of it between three and five months, with the right help. If it's getting harder, or happens when your puppy is calm, get help.
My puppy growls over chews. Should I worry?
It's worth acting early. Don't take things off them. Swap instead, and let them eat or chew in peace. If it's growing, get help now, while it's easier to change.
