Dog Training
Train your dog kindly and effectively with 1-1 support
Why train your dog with Sezan?
Sezan offers personalised 1-1 dog training. With over a decade’s worth of first hand experience in training and rehabilitating rescue dogs, alongside extensive experience coaching owners and staff in practical dog training skills, Sezan can help you take your dog’s day-to-day training to the next level.
Sezan initiated the local branch of a successful dog training school in Bristol, and took a lead role in developing course content and delivering staff training for the wider group of internationally renowned and trusted Dogs Trust dog schools; including puppy, adolescent, adult and reactive dog training courses.
As well as pet and rescue dog training, Sezan spends her spare time, you guessed it, training her own dogs! She has enjoyed developing a range of sports dog training skills, including competitive obedience, scentwork and tracking. She is now training her young Malinois with aim of competing in Mondioring.
Dog and puppy training teaches new behaviours, refines practical skills and improves communication and connection
We train on a 1-1 basis, using a system of rewards we are all about having fun and creating a positive relationship built on trust.
Motivate your dog or puppy effectively
Increase engagement and focus
Learn handling and training skills to make you a kind and effective dog trainer
Train specific behaviours i.e. lead walking, recall, settling in public, formal handling (grooming, eye/ear drops, nail clipping).
Rehearse trained behaviours to keep connected around distractions (other dogs, people, etc)
Teach tricks, scentwork, tracking and obedience to have fun and boost the relationship between you and your dog!
We are happy to offer training for any dog or puppy, however if you have a specific issue that is driven by emotional dysregulation we will not get to the root cause or treatment with dog training alone, we recommend a full behaviour consultation
Sezan offers in person dog and puppy training in Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Newport, Weston Super Mare, Bridgwater, Wells, Glastonbury, Thornbury, Yate, Frome, Chippenham, the Mendips, the Forest of Dean, the Cotswolds and the Wye Valley

Home visits or visits to another location of your choice = £150.
Maria and Sid -
“ Sezan has been brilliant with everything she has helped me with. She has helped me understand my dog’s emotions better, and even more impressive than that, in just a few minutes of training she managed to teach our very feisty terrier to accept eye drops with no restraint at all!!
If I could give her 10 stars out of 5 I would. She has been a lifesaver!”

Amy and Bugsy -
“Bugsey and I have been on our reactivity journey for a long time and were stuck in a rut of sticking to our same safe walks. Sezan has pushed us out of our comfort zone whilst ensuring we are always safe and supported. We love walking with the focus group, building our confidence in new environments and realising what we really can achieve.”
