Fixed rate £60 / hour
First sessions are 2hours long
We do not run group lessons.
By utilising kind, scientifically proven methods I can make training enjoyable for both dog and owner. I train dogs in a way that they want to engage in a positive manner without force, fear or pain. The methods I use are highly effective from general obedience to behavioural issues. The dogs in my training sessions are never forced to obey an 'alpha'. True dog training is nothing like some TV trainers would have you believe.
Force-free does not mean 'no rules' or 'permissive' but instead means understanding a dogs needs and communicating in a harmonious confident way to build a relationship with trust.
Along with a small team, we work with dogs and live with dogs on a daily basis. In 2008 I started up a large, successful dog walking, dog day care and pet sitting business. My days were filled with walking and training both small and large groups of dogs with my reliable team of assistant handlers. Each dog had very specific individual needs and allot of work went into ensuring every dog had a fulfilling and safe experience. We do not use force to get the dogs to what we want. They enjoy being a part of our group without fear or intimidation and enjoy training sessions. Dogs of any age and breed are welcome. Help sheets will often be provided for clients to help them through their training journey.
At Elite Dog Training we do not use: Prong collars, electric shock collars (e-collars), choke chains or other unnecessary tools or methods of training that involve force, fear or avoidance. Our trainers do not work under the 'alpha' myth. Our aim is to work with owners to meet their requirements as much as possible while maintaining a friendly and enjoyable training environment. We are always more than happy to work with owners that have until now used aversive training methods and equipment. At some point in all of our team's training lives/careers we have been exposed to the use of such equipment and methods but educated ourselves to know that they are not only unnecessary but detrimental.

Lesson Plan
Every lesson will be planned out prior to starting, ensuring every pre-discussed issue is addressed. Further sessions may be recommended as many behavioural problems require multiple sessions to achieve the desired result. You may be given help sheets to guide you through training once the trainer leaves.
What do I need for the session?For most home visits your dog will not require any specific equipment. In some training sessions your dog will require a well fitted plain nylon / leather collar or harness and lead. No chains please as they can cause injury and aren't always practical for training scenarios. If you are unsure or do not have these, please let your trainer know at the time of booking. Any other equipment will be supplied by your trainer for the duration of the lesson.
