Training for City Life

Puppy Foundations

Start with the skills that make daily life easier: name response, settling, recall foundations, loose-lead walking and calm greetings. Sessions help you practise in manageable steps and understand how to reinforce the behaviours you want. We can also address common puppy challenges, such as mouthing, jumping and getting used to household routines.

Loose-Lead Walking

Pulling can make footpaths, crossings and shared paths stressful. Training focuses on attention, lead handling and rewarding a comfortable walking position. We practise around suitable distractions and build difficulty at your dog’s pace. You’ll learn how to respond when your dog spots people, dogs or traffic, so walks become easier to manage.

Recall Training

A reliable recall starts with clear cues and rewards your dog values. We build the behaviour in controlled settings before adding distance and distractions. Sessions cover how to practise safely, avoid weakening the cue and reinforce your dog for returning. Training does not replace leash or off-leash rules in public spaces.

Reactivity Support

Reactivity can make everyday outings difficult. Training begins by identifying triggers, distance and early signs of stress. You’ll learn practical management and reward-based exercises to help your dog notice a trigger and disengage. Progress is gradual and guided by your dog’s comfort; the aim is safer, more manageable outings, not forced interaction.

Apartment Manners

Shared walls, lifts, hallways and neighbours create specific training challenges. We work on settling, door routines, calm lift and corridor behaviour, and ways to manage barking or excitement. Sessions take your living setup and dog’s needs into account. You’ll leave with clear practice steps for home and shared areas.

Everyday Manners

Build useful manners for visitors, cafés, footpaths and home routines. Training can cover greeting without jumping, settling on a mat, waiting at doors and responding around everyday distractions. We focus on clear cues and consistent reinforcement, then help you practise in settings that match your dog’s current ability and comfort.
