One-To-One Guidance For You and Your Dog
Private Coaching
Learn practical skills that support your dog’s movement, confidence and everyday safety. I coach you through strengthening, balance, body awareness, mobility and suitable agility foundations—as well as everyday skills such as loose-leash walking, “leave it” and settling.
Sessions meet you both where you are. You can start here, or use coaching to continue skills your dog has already been learning with me in Strength + Stability.
See it, Practice it & Understand it
I demonstrate the skill, then coach you while you practise with your dog. We work on timing, setup and small adjustments so the exercise makes sense to both of you.
Take Home a Manageable Plan
Leave with a small set of agreed skills, the cues and setup we used, and guidance on when to simplify, pause or ask for help. You do not need a perfect performance—or a house full of equipment.
Build Skills You Can Use Together
Start with the skill that would make the greatest difference to your daily life with your dog.
Continuing After Direct Training
Support That Respects You and Your Dog
If your dog has been learning and conditioning directly with me, a handover session lets you practise those same skills together.
I will explain the cues your dog has learned, markers, rewards and setup, then help your dog respond with you for ongoing success.
Learning with one person is a starting point; using the skill with another person and in another setting reinforces and solidifies new skills.
Small Skills. Big Difference.
Personalized coaching for calmer days, stronger bodies and more confident dogs.
Private coaching is built around the dog in front of me—not a checklist they’re expected to march through like a tiny furry recruit.
Sessions can focus on everyday life skills, confidence and movement, cooperative care, wellness, or recovery, depending on your dog’s age, experience, body awareness, mobility and current goals.
That might mean helping a puppy learn to settle and focus, building strength and coordination in a young dog, supporting a newly adopted dog as they gain confidence, or teaching practical home-care skills that help an adult or senior dog feel more comfortable between professional sessions.
Some dogs need one skill broken into very small steps. Others are ready to combine several skills into a bigger challenge. Either way, the goal is the same: useful learning that makes real life easier, movement more confident and your partnership stronger.
Example Private or Semi-Private Lessons Include:
Everyday Life, Confidence & Care
Practical skills for calmer routines, confident outings and easier everyday care.
Private coaching can also focus on the things that make day-to-day life with your dog simply work better. We can build calm attention and communication, increase confidence around new environments and experiences, or make handling, grooming and care routines feel more predictable and comfortable.
Sessions are adapted to your dog’s age, experience and personality — whether you are raising a puppy, helping a newly adopted dog find their feet, building confidence in an adolescent, or supporting an adult dog who could use a little more ease in everyday life.

Build Strength, Agility & Real World Skills
Start with the foundations. Add strength and control. Then make it fun.
For dogs who enjoy learning through movement, coaching can progress from simple foundation skills into body awareness, strength, balance, coordination and low-impact agility.
We build one layer at a time — first teaching clear cues and thoughtful movement, then adding duration, distance, obstacles and distraction as your dog is ready. More advanced sessions can combine skills into short sequences, adventure challenges and even tricks that have a useful strength, mobility or body-awareness benefit.
The four levels below show examples of how skills can progress. They are not a rigid course: your dog can begin where it makes sense and progress at a pace that keeps movement safe, successful and enjoyable.
