Friendly, Flexible Training That Meets You Where You’re At
Tailored Support for Every Dog
Every dog is different. That’s why my Howden dog training classes are designed to meet your dog exactly where they are. Whether you’re starting from scratch or working on specific challenges, I adapt each session to your dog’s ability, comfort level, and learning style—so you can both progress at a pace that feels right.
A Calm, Low-Pressure Learning Space
Training works best when everyone feels relaxed. These mixed ability classes are carefully managed to create a welcoming and calm environment—ideal for sensitive or easily distracted dogs. With small group sizes and plenty of space, your dog can build confidence without pressure or overwhelm.
Real-Life Skills That Make a Difference
We focus on practical, everyday training that helps your dog thrive in the real world. You’ll learn how to teach and maintain skills like loose lead walking, reliable recall, calm behaviour around other dogs and people, and more. Struggling with barking, pulling, or jumping up? We’ll work through it together using kind, effective, force-free methods.
Who Can Attend?
These mixed ability dog training classes in Howden are open to:
- Adolescent or adult dogs needing structure and focus
- Rescue dogs or those who missed out on early training
- Dogs with tricky behaviours or gaps in their learning
- Owners wanting ongoing support and progress
- Anyone looking for calm, ethical training in a supportive space
All I ask is that your dog is comfortable working in the presence of other dogs at a safe distance. If you’re unsure, I’m happy to chat or recommend a 121 session to get started.

Plus, I’ll provide ongoing email support and guidance to help with training between sessions.
