Build your Dream Skillset
It's never too late to develop your dream skills and behaviours with an older dog! There's truly no age cap on learning, and there's no reason to keep dreaming about relaxed walks, polite behaviours, and getting tricks that look like the ones you see on instagram - together we can make it a reality!

common problems and goals
Does this Sound Relatable?
Do any of these things sound like your experience? If so, help is at hand - these are all things that we can work on in our sessions together!
You're tired of getting pulled down the street
Your dog pulls - maybe not all the time, but when they do, it's difficult to manage, embarrasing, and overall takes some of the joy and ease out of walks
You worry that your dog's recall isn't reliable
You want your dog to run free, but you're not always able to rely on letting them off the lead because they don't always come back when you need them to!
You're not able to take your dog to the places you want
Your dog can't settle in public spaces like the pub, maybe they jump up at strangers or bark at other dogs. You rearrange trips and outings around this fact.
METHODOLOGY
Steps to Success
A structured, three-step framework designed exclusively for adolescent dogs. We won’t just address the symptoms; we'll rebuild the foundation of your relationship.
Session 01
Evaluation and Foundations
In our first session, we'll go over in detail the issues that you're experiencing, your goals, and information about your dog's background and day-to-day life. This allows me to create your fully custom training plan! In this session, I will also introduce some foundation strategies and exercises that we can use to immediately manage existing issues, as well as to set us up for the next phase of training.
Session 02
Building Focus and Calm
In our second session, we'll focus on ways to help your dog to become more focused on you, and more calm overall. We'll establish new methods of communication that will allow you to instruct and work with your dog more effectively when out and about!
session 03
Addressing Specific Issues
This final session explores allows us to focus on the specific issues that you and your dog are struggling with - with all of our fantastic foundation work laid, including exercises that build into this later stage training, we can now level up and start to see results with training for lead walking, recall, and more.

★★★★★
"Toby is very knowledgeable and supportive. He takes the time to get to know you and your dog, I also really appreciated his kind approach to dog training too. Not only does he teach you how to get the best out of your dog/promote good behaviours, he also teaches you about the stages of your dogs life and what to expect."
Meaghan & Cleo
Australian Shepherd
★★★★★
"Nothing is too much trouble for Toby and he deals with stressed out dog parents with infinite tact, diplomacy, empathy & wisdom - I genuinely can’t speak highly enough of him. We have met our fair share of trainers over the years, and Toby is without doubt one of the best around."

"Toby was absolutely amazing!!With this being our first dog, we were so worried if we were doing anything right or wrong and the internet is littered with differing advice.Toby made everything seem so simple and didn’t just do the teaching for us, but he has given us the tools to train our dog ourselves.Will definitely be using Toby again!!"

Ready to Level Up? Your Questions Answered
If you have more questions about anything from the booking process to what to expect from the training sessions themselves, why not book in your FREE 10 minute Discovery Call with me today? We'll get the chance to chat through your queries, plus you'll have the opportunity to get a feel for what I'm like, and whether we'll be a good fit.
Is my dog too old or too young for this?
This package is specifically designed for adult dogs over 18 months, beyond the puppy and adolescent stages of life. If your dog is a little older and you're not sure whether they'll still be able to train, rest assured even the oldest dogs can learn brand new skills and have a blast doing so! If your senior dog has any health complications that might affect training, this is something that I will take into account when planning and executing our sessions,
How quickly can I schedule my sessions?
You'll be able to book your first session right away, and usually I will have slots available for the upcoming week. Since consistency is key, I recommend scheduling your 3 sessions roughly one to two weeks apart to allow for practice in between.
My dog is presenting aggression towards humans - is this something you can help with?
Behavioural concerns such as dog-human or dog-dog aggression, particularly if there is a bite history, are better tackled by a fully qualified behaviourist. Likewise, if you're struggling with resource guarding or severe anxiety or separation distress, then this is also the type of help that I would recommend for you. If you're not sure, please do book in your FREE call with me before booking - if I need to refer you onto a behaviourist, I will always do so personally, providing you with contact information for trusted local professionals.
Do I need to do homework between sessions?
Yes! We lay the foundation during our time together, but your consistency at home is what solidifies your dog's learning. I'll be providing you with plenty of resources to make this easy, including demo videos and digital trackers to keep on top of practice and progress.
What if I have to reschedule a session?
Not a problem - All I require is 48 hours' notice for rescheduling to avoid losing a session credit. I understand life happens, and will do my best to get you rescheduled to another suitable time when given enough warning.
Building calm and connection — one step at a time. A supportive space for kind, science-based dog training that fits real life.
