1-2-1 Training
The beauty of 1-2-1 classes is that you can work on exactly what you want to achieve. We offer classes either online, in and around your home, or locally, depending on what you want to work on.
​
FREESTYLE
Vay offers 1-2-1 classes in Heelwork to Music and Freestyle (doggie dancing!) and performance fundamentals for any dog sport, both online and from our venue in Stafford.
​
You might want to work on:
Improving motivation and relationship - if you have a dog who goes off sniffing, runs off to play without you, can't focus on training or just isn't interested, I can help.
Improving the clarity of your training and cues.
Putting together a new routine or polishing one you already have.
Teaching some cool new moves, or troubleshooting existing ones.
Competition preparation.
Foundations for puppies and beginner dogs.
1-2-1 AT HOME
If you are struggling with day-to-day life with your dog we will usually offer training sessions at your home and on your usual walks. Because dogs can behave differently in different places and your environment will dictate which strategies are best or even possible for you.
Areas we regularly work with:
Recall (including dogs who aren't interested in treats on a walk)
Fear issues (e.g. fear of people, other dogs, travelling in the car)
Reactivity (barking/lunging at other dogs/people)
Border collies (including chasing/herding cars, other dogs, children etc.)
Learning to cope with vet visits
​
We find a lot of dogs don't behave well because they are uncomfortable in their body, even if they are not obviously in pain. We work closely with Maisie from Stafford Vet Physio and she works with many of my clients. She has a good understanding of the needs of reactive and fearful dogs and can work wonders with dogs that "would never tolerate physio".
We are happy to work with dogs who struggle with other dogs, with people they don't know, and dogs who can't work in a class environment for a number of different reasons.
