For dogs who pull on the lead
Perfectly Painless Loose Lead Walking
Do you wish that walking your dog on the lead was more of a joy and less of a chore?
Are you feeling frustrated because you’ve tried all the ‘usual’ methods to stop them pulling on the lead and they’re not working?
Transform your walks with my tailored lead walking programme that is perfectly pitched to suit your dog and their personality!

"Many thanks for helping us to get Fig to her walking milestone. Really thoughtful advice and training plans that have made a real difference."
What does the package involve?
-
An initial 60-minute 1:1 training session at your home where we figure out what makes your dog tick and start working on the foundation skills they will need
-
Two further 60-minute 1:1 training sessions ‘out and about’ where I provide in-person coaching as you take your dog’s new skills on the road
-
A written training plan with clear step-by-step instructions on how to do the exercises so you can easily remind yourself of what to do and track your progress
-
Advice on how to manage walks while your dog is still in training so that they are less stressful and more comfortable for everyone
-
Ongoing support via WhatsApp and email until 4 weeks after the final session in case you have any questions or want feedback
-
No one-size-fits-all solutions - I take a behaviour-driven approach to training, which means I help you figure out why your dog is pulling on the lead so we can address the problem at the root
-
An in-depth, structured programme focused on making lasting improvements to your dog’s lead walking behaviour rather than unreliable ‘quick fixes’
-
Kind, ethical training methods focused on rewarding the behaviours we want rather than punishing the ones we don't
Not sure if it's for you?
I also offer a one-off taster package to give you an idea of how I work and the benefits my training can bring for you and your dog!
This includes a 1-hour in-person session plus a follow-up email with some resources to get you started. It does not include the two follow-up sessions or WhatsApp and email support (these are only available when you upgrade to a full package).

Start training!
You'll receive a confirmation email with details about the session and what you'll need (other than yourself and your dog!) so we can get cracking!
What methods do you use?
I only use kind, ethical training methods that focus on rewarding the behaviours we want and using management to prevent those that we don't.
All of my training is free of force and intimidation. I firmly believe that training based on punishment not only causes dogs unnecessary stress, but also damages the relationship between you and your dog.
My dog is aggressive/extremely fearful/'reactive'. Can you help?
Unfortunately I'm not taking on dogs with severe behavioural issues at the moment (but keep your eyes peeled for updates!) – I would advise that you seek the help of a clinical animal behaviourist (CAB); visit the ABTC website to find a CAB near you.
My dog is a puppy/teenager/adult/rescue dog. Is this training suitable for them?
Absolutely! I cater for all ages, breeds and personalities (although I do have a soft spot for rescue dogs).
Where are you based?
I am based in Leamington Spa, but will travel up to 45 minutes for training sessions.
What happens if I’ve finished my package but I need more sessions?
Once you’ve come to the end of your package we’ll review your progress and you’ll have the option to book top-up sessions if necessary.
I’m not sure I want to commit to a full package - do you offer one-off sessions?
You can book a one-hour taster session for any of my packages (except Perfectly Imperfect Rescue Dogs) - just fill in the booking request form and select ‘Taster Session’ under ‘What service are you interested in?’. After the session you will also receive an email pointing you towards some useful resources.
