For existing clients who want continued practical support without starting a new programme. Sessions can be occasional, used when something needs a tune-up, or arranged more regularly when that would be useful.
For existing clients.
Builds on work already established.
Use sessions occasionally or regularly.
Focused on the priorities that matter now.
You do not need to repeat work for the sake of it. We start with the skills and understanding already in place, look at what has changed, and decide what would be most useful now. That might be progressing a skill, transferring it into a harder environment, or simply getting the mechanics cleaner again.
Some appointments are very focused. Others are broader practice sessions that bring several skills together on a walk or in another real-life setting. The work remains practical, progressive and adapted to the dog in front of us.
You can use ongoing coaching in the way that best supports the work.
A single session when you want help progressing or troubleshooting something we have already worked on.
A regular rhythm when continued coaching and progression would make the work easier to sustain.
If a significant new behaviour problem has appeared, especially where fear, aggression, guarding or safety is involved, we may need to step back and assess that properly rather than treating it as an ordinary practice session.
Tell me what you would like to work on and I can point you towards the most useful next appointment.
