FAQ's

What is the cost?... To ensure fair pricing for everyone and to reflect the individual nature of each case, consultations are charged at an hourly rate as detailed below. Price List Puppy Consultation: £85/hr Follow-Up Sessions: £80/hr Written Report (Optional): £60 Online Consultations: £75/hr Rate 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 the consultation last?... Duration of consultation varies from case to case but the average puppy consultations lasts around 2 hours. Follow up sessions will usually be shorter, averaging between 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes.

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, I also offer online consultations via Zoom, FaceTime or Skype.

My puppy is already showing aggressive behaviours, can you help? Absolutely! It is not uncommon for puppies to display aggressive or possessive behaviours t an early age. The consultation will give us the opportunity to address this and ensure it does not progress any further.

Does my puppy need to be fully vaccinated? No, not for the consultation. This will be carried out in the home environment so there is no risk for unvaccinated pups. Should you wish to carry out additional training sessions then this will likely need to wait until full vaccination.

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."
