If you feel overwhelmed by group classes, do best with practical 1-1 guidance, or find yourself lacking the motivation to train alone - I can help.

Every session is adapted to you and your dog as individuals. I take the time to get to know you both, building a partnership that is genuinely enjoyable and works in real life, not just on paper.

What Can Training Help With

  • Motivating your dog; building engagement and focus

  • Loose lead walking, recall, settling in public and formal handling skills including grooming, eye drops, ear drops and nail clipping

  • Developing your practical training skills so you feel confident and capable, and most importantly have fun training with your dog!

  • Refining trained behaviours around real-world distractions including other dogs and people

  • Scentwork, tracking, tricks and obedience to have fun and strengthen your bond

One important note: if your dog's behaviour is being driven by emotional dysregulation - reactivity, fear, anxiety or aggression - training skills alone may help manage your dog but won't get to the root cause. In those cases a full behaviour consultation is usually the right starting point. I'll always be honest with you about which route is going to get you and your dog the furthest.

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.”
