ADVENTURE DOG TRAINING -

SIMPLE, GENTLE TRAINING FOR SAFE, HAPPY OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

Pure joy on four legs. Nothing beats a forest run with your best friend. Many wonderful dogs miss out on adventures simply because they haven’t learnt the few essential skills that make outings safe and enjoyable. My Adventure Dog Training programme is designed specifically for families who want to feel confident taking their dogs out without needing long, intensive training programmes.

I specialise in natural, real-world outdoor training that teaches your dog how to behave calmly and safely on walks, hikes, beach outings, forest trails, or in busy neighbourhoods.
All training takes place at your home and is taught with gentle, reward-based methods to build confidence and trust.

🌟 What This Programme Covers

Your dog will learn the six essential outdoor safety skills:

Loose Leash Walking – no more being pulled down the road
Walk Behind You – perfect for narrow paths and busy environments
Wait – ensuring calm, controlled moments before activity
Whistle Recall – a reliable “come back to me now” response
Heel – returning to your side immediately during an emergency or waiting to cross a road
Leave It – essential for preventing unwanted or dangerous behaviours
These foundational manners give your dog the confidence they need, and you the freedom to enjoy your outings again.

🐾 Who This Training Is For

This programme is ideal for:

Friendly dogs who simply need the basics
Puppies ready to learn outdoor manners
Rescue dogs settling into a new home
Busy families wanting quick, effective skills
Owners who want safer, calmer adventures without overwhelm

Please note: This programme does not cover complex behavioural issues such as aggression, reactivity, or anxiety. For those, I happily refer clients to qualified behaviourists to ensure your dog receives specialised, professional care.
