Professional Training and Counselling
with Heart and Mind
We invite all new clients with dogs over the age of 6 months to book in an introductory session where we define the goals you wish to attain with your dog and which course will best suit your dog.
We offer help on various challenges you face together with your dog: no matter if he would require better skills at socialization, drags you around on the lead, barks at other dogs, or has separation anxiety when you leave him alone, our professional team is ready to help and provide advice. Each training session is individually tailored to you, and we devise a training plan which is fitting for your unique situation and personality of your dog. Our training deals with everyday life issues and problems, and improves the relationship and communication between dog and owner.
Introductory appointment

For all our new clients for day-care or training and before booking your classes (except for puppy classes), we require a 30 minute introductory appointment for a brief assessment of your dog, training goals and any issues to address. Together we will identify the most appropriate classes or activities, whether on an individual basis or a group.
