Why choose 1:1 training for your puppy or adult dog?
1:1 training can be beneficial for various reasons.
✅Individual attention. A 1:1 session provides you and your dog with the full attention of your trainer. This allows you the ability to get exactly what you want and need out of the session.
✅Customised training plans. Not everyone wants to work to a class curriculum. 1:1 sessions enable you to discuss your individual goals and during the session I will help to come up with a training plan, individual to yours and your dogs goals and needs.
✅ Fewer distractions. Not all dogs are ready for a class environment, working around other dogs can be a big distraction and sometimes it’s something which we work up to. Outside classes also come with various environmental distractions too. In 1:1 sessions we are able to work in appropriate environments and build distractions gradually and tailored to each individual dog and handler team.
✅Live feedback. In a 1:1 session you have the undivided attention of your trainer. This enables you to get live feed back throughout the session. Allowing for handling adjustments and improvements in real time.
✅Confidence building. 1:1 sessions can really benefit dogs who are a little bit unsure, shy or anxious. Working at their speed, building confidence with individualised plans. Some people may find the class environment daunting too, 1:1 training is great for building handler confidence too! ( as an ex nurse, I have a knack of putting people at ease 😊).
✅Enhanced learning. Having undivided attention for the hours session can enhance both handler and dog learning. You get to ask the questions you want and as stated above, you get live feedback throughout. This can really add clarity for your dog and you as a handler as you have an expert guiding you throughout. You should leave the session feeling empowered and confident of how to proceed and put plans into action.
