1:1 Session | Holistic Hounds

ONE TO ONE SESSION

We offer a wide range of 1:1 training sessions to cater to the needs of you and your dog. Depending on what you and your dog need, our 1:1 sessions are individually tailored to the problems you are facing or the goals you want to achieve. Throughout these sessions we meet at different locations to work on the training activities you have learnt out and about and in everyday situations.

TRAINING ASSESSMENT

Assessment sessions take place at our business address to assess the behavioural problems you are facing in a controlled environment. We always want to see first-hand what problems you are experiencing so that we can understand the issues fully and help to advise the best training methods.

This session lasts 1 hour and is a time for us to get to know the issues you are facing as a whole picture and your aims. We will ask questions on nutrition, exercise and dynamics in the house that will give us a good picture of what could be going on for your dog and what changes would benefit your dog’s overall behavioural and health needs.

FEAR

ANXIETIES

Fear of humans, dogs, grooming, health checks, leads, car rides, places, and anything else your dog might encounter.

Anxieties around separation, people, thunder, fireworks, noise.

FOOD ISSUES

Including counter surfing, stealing food, eating unmentionable items.

OTHER ISSUES

Including, but not limited to, pulling on leads, excessive licking, barking or whining.

GENERAL TRAINING

In addition to problem issues, we also cover all of the basic good dog behaviour.

AGGRESSION

Aggression towards dogs or humans. Occurring around feeding times, furniture, and other territorial problems.

1:1 TRAINING

Once you have had your initial session you can start your 1-1 coaching to help you and your dog with its behaviour problems. Working wherever the problem occurs; in the home, park, groomers, vets and anywhere else, our aim in these sessions is to teach you how to live life and do everyday things with your dog as easily and most enjoyably as possible.

These sessions are an hour long and can be held at location to suit your goals:

AT YOUR HOME

Holistic Hounds bases the basic training first at the home where distractions can be controlled, for a safer and more successful session.

AT THE VET

We understand that the vets can be a stressful place for all involved when things don't go to plan. Sometimes a little help is needed to gain control in a calm way, which will enable the vets to be able to help your dog as best they can, without worry of your dog panicking, biting, or hurting themselves.

WITH YOUR WALKER

To help you and your dog to achieve their goals everyone associated with your dogs daily care and routine needs to be on the same page. If you use a dog walker, this needs to be taken into account as what your dog walker does on walks may be different and will therefore affect your dogs behaviour. We will work with dog walkers and boarders to help you and your dog too have consistency in training so you can achieve your goals together.
