Dog Training

My 1:1 training sessions with Eleanor have been amazing! Her fun and positive attitude have brought confidence in both myself and my dog, Frankie, and I have been amazed at the results. Right from our first phone call, I knew our training sessions would be a success. Eleanor asked lots of questions and really seemed to understand what I needed and wanted from our sessions, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Frankie has loved them too and his confidence has really grown! We really enjoyed the virtual session, and it really helped having my husband on hand to act as camera man!! It felt no different to having Eleanor there in the room, she could see everything we were doing and her calm, reassuring guidance was just as apparent from a screen, as it is in person. I also really appreciate the follow up emails after each session. They detail all that we covered and contain lots of tips and reminders so I never have to worry about forgetting anything! More...

We did our first virtual training session with our puppy and Eleanor very successfully. We learnt lots of new skills to help us combat our puppy nipping. We also learnt skills like sit, lay down, drop, sharing toys, tugged games and tolerance. It was very informative. Thanks Eleanor More...

Elenor (Els) is a wonderful lady, who is knowledgable and informative.

She is calm and well prepared to deal with any issues you have in training your dog, be it they are a rescue or nervous dog to the over boisterous ones.

We have started using El’s one to one training via face time, which was incredibly effective (far more so than you would expect a video call to be).

We will be in contact with Els for advice on helping to making our rescue puppy comfortable, calm and engaged in our home for years to come.

Thanks Els

Eleanor is great! she is very knowledgeable and delivers her training in a way that is very easy to follow and repeat when she is not on hand. You also get some really great collateral in the form of session reminders and exercises to keep practicing between sessions. The recent impact of lock down has made sessions harder but Eleanor has a great on line service that was really worth doing. She has a good camera set up and can deliver her usual expertise remotely now. More...

After being recommended to Eleanor and i am so glad i was. Eleanor really was instrumental in us now having a our wonderful dog Bonnie. Eleanor made a couple of house visits when Bonnie was first with us, as it had been 11 years since we last had a pup and you do forget those little things! After going through the early basics we decided to join one of Eleanor's puppy classes and it was informative, professional, engaging but above all fun for all of us and Bonnie loved it especially the end of class play! I would without hesitation recommend Eleanor for all your dog training needs and her use of positive reward based methods is fantastic. On a personal level Eleanor helped me make a leap of faith and set up my own pet care company Scamps and Champs in ReIgate and cant thank her enough for all her words of encouragement. So if you are looking for some help don't fret give Eleanor a call you will be glad you did. More...

I would just like to say a huge thank you to Eleanor. A week ago she came to visit us after my 5.5 month old Mini Schnauzer, Ernie had us all at breaking point with his pure refusal to be toilet trained. Her advice worked almost immediately! A week later he is dry and clean through the night and we have only had 3 mistakes, which were mainly due to us not keeping a close eye. We are a changed and happy household now Eleanor you are a miracle worker! Thank you so much More...

Eleanor came to help us with our very nervous newly adopted Border collie. By the end of the first session she had put steps in place to socialise him with our cats, and also basic commands (he hadn't got any when he arrived)
Over the visits she made the training fun and our dog responded really well and enjoyed the training we did on a daily basis in between her visits. Eleanor always sent an email explaining what we had done at the session and also handouts for us to follow if we forgot. Eleanor has helped us to progress a long way with our new boy. More...

Eleanor has been so helpful with our puppy! From basic training to more complex learning and tricks as well. He thoroughly enjoys the lessons and gets so excited when she is round. The 1 to 1 sessions really help you connect to your pet. Highly recommend. The follow up emails are great and allow you to continue to train. More...

Q&As

I am so lucky to do what I am so passionate about and to be able to help families to enjoy life with their dogs more. It is amazing to see progress even after the first session and to be able to support my clients as they practice at home. What is the truly special part is to see clients building a strong relationship with their dogs build on confidence, trust and understanding.

I am shocked by how many trainers still use force to achieve the behaviour they want from their dogs. I have such a close relationship with my dogs, which is underpinned by the type of training I do with them. My aim is to use my knowledge and expertise to help other people have similar relationships with their dogs using positive reinforcement based training .

Our unique package is what makes us more effective, fun and better value for money than our competitors. We not only deliver 5* training during classes and sessions but we also help you once you go to practice at home. This amazing additional support means you will need less sessions and make faster progress. You will also enjoy your training with your dog more using our fun positive reward-based methods which will enable you to build a wonderful bond with your dog. You will also feel less isolated and more supported as part of our online community as you can share your progress with other friendly like-minded dog and puppy owners.

Our methods are different from most dog trainers as we use the concept of choice rather than simply luring or bribing your dog to do the right thing. This training is so powerful as with practice your dog will learn to offer the correct behaviour even when a reward is not visible. Our training is based on fun and simple techniques as we know this is the best way to get results fast. We use strategic activities and what your dog loves to build your dog's understanding and desire to do what you would like them to.

Our experience and expertise enable us to have many different approaches so that we can find the method which will work best for you, rather than giving generic advice. We have developed different techniques to teach each skill so that we can select what will work best for you and your dog and if one method isn't effective we are able to adapt to meet your needs.

Please see our video for further information on what training we offer as well as our Facebook page and website and look at our reviews to see what other people have to say about our training.

Services

We offer personalised 1:1 sessions which focus on what is important to you. We can come to your home or local area or you can come to us at a time and day which suits you.

We support you after your session with our full support package which really accelerates your training and provides skill specific guidance as well as a supportive community. Our 1:1 services:

-Enable you to get dog specific guidance
-Address issues in the location in which they occur
-We cover all training issues that you would like to cover
-You have access to our online support group
-Session summary email after each session
-Step by step guides on the skills we cover in the session to help you as you practice.

We offer puppy life skills, puppy socialization dog skills for everyday life, advanced skills and scentwork classes.

We are unique in that we have a maximum of 4 dogs or puppies in any class. This gives you a much better experience as it enables each dog or puppy to get the most out of the classes giving time for individual help as you learn.

We hold classes in a lovely large warm hall in Dorking. Our classes are friendly and address the skills that matter to you.

We use positive reinforcement based training methods utilizing the principal of choice to engage your dog in their learning rather than bribing them. We also never use force, punishment or intimidation with our dogs and puppies.

Our classes are fun and engaging for both you and your family as well as your puppy
We include:
- Summary emails after each class
-Weekly step by step guidance sheets to help you as you practice at home with accompanying videos.
- Friendly class specific support group where you can get help, support and share progress to progress your training faster and more confidently.

I am a fully certified separation anxiety behavioural consultant Cert. SAPT. and have worked with many dogs successfully taking them from the caregiver not being able to go out the door to happy at home for a few hours.

If your dog is struggling to be home alone we can work together using simple plans to teach them that there is nothing to be afraid of and they can be home alone and ok. I offer a free initial zoom consultation to find out more.
