Dog Training Services in Oakham, Rutland (LE15) and Surrounding Areas
1:1 training, structured courses, and real-world group sessions.
If you are struggling with your dog’s behaviour, you are not alone. Most owners come to me after months or years of frustration, confusion, and being told to “just give it time”. I deal with the problems that actually affect daily life, not party tricks in a quiet training hall. If your dog behaves at home but falls apart in the real world, this is exactly the kind of work I specialise in.
I can help you with common issues such as:
Pulling on the lead and poor loose lead walking
Unreliable recall or a dog that completely ignores you outside
Reactivity, barking, lunging, or aggression towards other dogs or people
Excessive barking at noises, visitors, or on walks
Separation anxiety, destruction, or panic when left alone
Jumping up, over-excitement, and lack of impulse control
Puppy biting, nipping, and unruly behaviour
Fearful or nervous dogs lacking confidence
Resource guarding of food, toys, or space
Dogs that have too much freedom and no clear boundaries
My training focuses on structure, clarity, and accountability. No gimmicks, no sugar-coating, and no endless sessions going nowhere. We build calm behaviour, clear communication, and real-world reliability. If your dog is running the household, making poor decisions, or leaving you stressed on every walk, this is exactly what I help owners fix.
A structured onboarding programme for new clients, built around three one-to-one sessions and a clear training plan with ongoing support.
This is for owners who want to get things right from the start or reset poor habits.
It tackles lack of structure, confusion, inconsistent handling, and the common “we’ve tried everything” problem.
A four-day intensive training package with daily hands on work, clear goals, homework, and progress updates.
It jump-starts stalled training, cuts through mixed messages, and creates clarity and consistency quickly.
This is not daycare and it is not a quick fix. This is a four-week, weekday-only, residential-style day training programme designed to reset behaviour properly. Your dog trains Monday to Friday for five hours a day and returns home each afternoon, resulting in faster progress, better carryover, and fewer issues than traditional residential training. If weekly sessions have not been enough and you want structure put back in place properly, this is the next step.
A structured, education-first course teaching the correct, ethical use of modern e-collar technology, grounded in science-based training principles. The focus is on clarity, timing, and communication, not punishment.
Designed for owners who want reliable control at distance and in real-world environments, without shouting or nagging.
Controlled group training sessions with like-minded owners, designed to practise skills around distractions.
For owners who want progression beyond one-to-one work without chaos.
They solve reliability issues, proof obedience, and expose weaknesses safely before the real world does.
Structured group sessions held in local towns and cities, focused on calm behaviour in real environments.
Best suited to owners who want their dog to function around people, dogs, and distractions.
They address reactivity, over-arousal, poor social behaviour, and lack of environmental control.
Two to three days working alongside me while I train your dog in real situations. You see exactly how the work is done and why.
Designed for owners who want deeper understanding, not just instructions.
It solves handling mistakes, timing issues, and the gap between theory and real-world application.
Workshops and Courses in Oakham, Rutland (LE15)
A structured workshop breaking down what reactivity actually is, why it shows up, and how to handle it calmly and correctly.
Designed for owners dealing with dogs that overreact to other dogs, people, or environments.
It addresses poor foundations, lack of leadership, emotional overload, and the common cycle of avoidance and frustration.
A fundamentals workshop focused on teaching owners how to handle their dog properly, not just tell it what to do. This covers mechanics, timing, body position, and clarity.
Built for owners who want to stop guessing and start communicating in a way the dog actually understands.
It solves mixed signals, poor leash handling, bad timing, and the common problem of the dog “knowing it at home but not outside.”
A practical, hands-on workshop focused on using play correctly as a training and relationship-building tool, not as chaos on a rope.
This is for owners who want better engagement, motivation, and control without relying solely on food.
It solves flat training, poor focus, weak rewards, and dogs that switch off the moment distractions appear.
