PRIVATE TRAINING AT DOG SCHOOL

🗓️ A quick update - at the moment there is around a 3-4 week waiting list for private training. Sessions are very limited due to current client commitments and classes, which is amazing, and it makes me really happy to be able to help so many people and their dogs, but it does mean that you might have to wait a little bit longer than usual.

📲If you need to book private training, please get in touch via email or WhatsApp and give as much detail as possible about the kind of help you need, and the days/times that suit your schedule. This helps me to organise my diary and get the best solution for you and your dog 🐾

Some Dog Training Truths

🐾All dogs need training to be good canine citizens. As an animal they don’t know how to act in our modern world. It’s up to us to teach them.
🐾Your dog’s behaviour is a reflection of your skills and knowledge around dog training.
🐾The actions of your dog are always your responsibility, for better or worse.
🐾Dog training requires maintenance. This is not a one and done thing.
🐾Mistakes and accidents happen, it’s up to you to prevent repeats and get help if you’re unsure of how exactly to do that.
🐾Dog training is work and is a commitment you have to follow through until the end. Half measures are not enough.
🐾Rewards are required for change. Your dog does not work for you out of loyalty, love, or because you’re the human.
🐾There is no one size fits all method of dog training.
🐾There are zero quick fixes.
🐾You will have to step out of your comfort zone to have a well trained dog.
🐾Love isn’t training. No amount of it will overcome obedience or behaviour challenges you might have with your dog.
🐾Putting off training doesn’t do anyone any favours. All bad behaviour that is allowed to continue will strengthen and be harder to fix in the future.
🐾I’m a dog trainer, not a miracle worker. Results you get with your dog depend on a ton of variables, some of which are not under our control (genetics, actions of other people, etc).
🐾I can train your dog, but without change and upkeep at home, that training disappears.

At times you will face your own weaknesses, bad habits, and past actions. It can be very difficult, but you’re writing your story as you go and your future doesn’t have to be the same as the past.
You have the power of change, you just have to commit to it.💪🏼

You don't have to do any of this alone💕

My job as a trainer is to guide you and support you through dog training hard truths like these. There will be times you might feel like quitting, might feel like you’re not good enough, or might feel like you’re a failure. Frustration is normal. Feeling like you suck at training is normal. Mistakes are normal. It’s all part of learning the new skill of training your dog.

The training that I try to provide everyone focuses on getting you closer to success. Sometimes this means we’re simply streamlining things in the training process to better suit your lifestyle, but other times it might be us focusing on how a mistake or attitude is holding you back or making things more difficult than they should be.

I strive to meet everyone halfway. It’s a team effort, not only between you and your dog, but with me as well. Believe it or not I want to see all of my student and dog teams succeed and reach their goals! ✨

Dog training is hard. So is living with an untrained dog. The choice is yours.

Welcome to Dog School Nerja!

Welcome to Dog School Nerja - a new and innovative dog training company offering training classes, 121s and workshops throughout the Nerja area, both in-person and online.

My name is Karen and I’m the brains behind Dog School Nerja! My world is all about dogs and my mission is to show people how to build a meaningful relationship with their dog through training. My methods are simple, clear and easy to follow, but importantly; they involve modern, science-based theories that mean your dog will want to learn and grow into a happy, well-mannered member of the family. The days of intimidating dogs to do what we want are long gone and I can show you how to build a life-long bond with your dog where training is fun and enjoyable for both of you.

I take a holistic approach to training and look at the bigger picture; taking into account the dog’s physical, mental, emotional and social needs. And guarantee to use only the most up to date and kindest methods to teach both you and your dog using food, toys and praise. My objective is to provide a professional and supportive environment for you and your dog to thrive as a team as well as making training fun - after all everyone learns more when they enjoy what they're doing!

At the moment, I’m still in Scotland but if everything goes to plan, I’ll be up and running in the Spring of 2021, so keep a close eye on this page for updates. Online training options are available at any time and you can contact me personally Monday-Friday 10am-6pm through my website or email at [email protected]. You can also get in touch via social media on Facebook and Instagram.
