Your Next Step After the Initial Consult
After your initial consult, we should have a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to your dog’s behaviour, what skills they may be missing, and what support they need moving forward.
The next step is creating consistency, building the right foundations, and progressing the training in a way your dog can cope with.
Behaviour change does not usually happen from one session alone. The first session gives us direction. The follow-up sessions are where we start building the skills, routines, and training plan your dog needs to make progress.
Why Ongoing Sessions Are Recommended
A one-off session can be helpful for understanding what is happening and where to start. However, most behaviour concerns need more than one session because dogs need time, repetition, routine, and consistency to learn new patterns.
Most problem behaviours also do not happen on their own.
For example, a dog who reacts on lead may also need support with engagement, lead skills, confidence, calm observation, and learning how to recover after seeing another dog.
A dog who jumps on visitors may need help with impulse control, settling, routine, and learning what behaviour gets attention.
A dog who struggles to be left alone may need help building independence slowly, rather than being expected to simply “get used to it.”
This is why behaviour training is built in layers. We first create the right foundations, then progress the training in a way your dog can cope with.
What We Build During a Package
Common Behaviour Concerns & Recommended Starting Points
Package pricing includes more than the session time itself. Each package gives your dog a clear training pathway, with personalised guidance, written session notes, practical homework, and support between booked sessions so you know what to practise and how to progress.
Your plan may include step-by-step exercises such as marker training, engagement work, loose lead walking foundations, recall practice, place training, settle work, confidence-building activities, calm greeting routines, enrichment ideas, management strategies, and controlled exposure setups where needed.
For behaviour cases, your plan may also include guidance around reducing rehearsal of unwanted behaviours, setting up the home or walking environment for success, reading your dog’s body language, building calm routines, and progressing the training at a pace your dog can cope with.
Packages are designed to give your dog consistency, structure, and progression, while giving you clear support between sessions. They also offer a reduced rate compared to booking each session individually.

Please Note
These recommendations are a guide only. Some dogs may need fewer sessions, while others may need ongoing support depending on the behaviour, severity, history, environment, and consistency of training between sessions.
If you are unsure which package suits your dog, please get in touch before booking. I can help guide you toward the most appropriate option based on your dog’s behaviour and goals.
Packages are most effective when sessions are booked consistently and the recommended homework and management strategies are practised between sessions.
Payment is required upfront to secure your package. Package pricing is offered at a reduced rate compared to booking sessions individually, and unused sessions are not redeemable for cash.
Behaviour outcomes cannot be guaranteed, as progress depends on your dog’s history, emotional state, health, environment, and consistency of training.
