FAQ's

What is the cost?... Private Obedience Training sessions are charged at an hourly rate of £85/hr, dropping to £80/hr for follow up sessions. Rates for evening and weekend sessions will include an additional 10% surcharge. Travel is charged at a rate of 75p per mile travelled for consultation.

How long will sessions last?... Duration of sessions does vary from case to case, however the average duaration for first sessions is 1 hour 30 minutes, with follow up sessions generally lasting an hour each.

What areas do you cover?... There is no limitation placed on the distance travelled for consultaion however travel charges do apply. for those seeking help from further afield, we also offer online consultations via Zoom or Skype.

Do you work with aggressive dogs?... Absolutely! Aggression is one of the most common probelm behaviours I deal with, however, you will require the Behaviour Consultation service for treatment of aggressive behaviours.

Is my dog too old to learn?... Definitely not! While older dogs will likely have had longer to develop negative behaviour patterns, therefore requiring more time and work to make changes this certainly does not mean older dogs can't learn and improve obedience.

What training methods do you use? I believe in a balanced, fair and practical approach that focuses on clear communication, structure, and healthy relationship building between puppy and owner. Training will be tailored to the individual puppy with an emphasis on calm leadership, engagement, proper guidance, and real world reliability.

"Can't thank Callum enough with helping our dog who was so scared and anxious regarding going out for walks. Before contacting Callum we tried everything to get her walking outside, including anxiety medication from our vet. 
Callum spent time getting to know our dog and observing her behaviour. We have literally only had two sessions with Callum and our dog is walking again on her lead. We have been provided with advice to carry on the training at home and will have regular contact to see how we are getting on and this is brilliant for us. 
My family can't thank Callum enough for what he has one with our dog."
