    Dog Training Support

    Helping your dog learn and grow

    If your dog has training problems, my sessions offer simple, effective help.

    Initial Training & Behaviour Consultation (1 hour) – £45
    A one-on-one session to assess your dog’s behaviour, discuss your training goals, and create a custom behaviour assessment and training plan. Sessions are structured to support your dog’s individual needs, whether that be building confidence at the vets, reducing reactivity or improving recall, I am here to help.

    Follow-Up Sessions (1 hour) – £30
    These practical, hands on sessions provide tailored help to support you in reaching your training goals. They focus on reinforcing appropriate behaviour, improving handling techniques and solving ongoing issues.

    One-to-One Training Walk (1 hour) – £30
    A guided walk to improve behaviours such as loose lead walking and recall. Walks also focus on building confidence, reducing reactivity and increasing your dog’s focus on you rather than distractions!

    Puppy Training Sessions (2–6 months) (1 hour) – £20
    Special sessions for puppies aged 2 to 6 months. These help you teach good habits early and strengthen your bond.

    All training is reward-based, backed by science, and adapted to your dog’s needs and learning style.

    Dog wellbeing and welfare is at the core of everything Barker’s Academy stands for. Combining the latest science-backed methods with genuine care, creating tailored solutions that strengthen the unique bond between you and your dog. Whether it’s mastering essential commands, overcoming behavioural challenges, or simply making walks more enjoyable, every service is designed with your dog’s individual needs at its heart. Experience training support which truly understands your best friend—because every dog deserves to live to their best life and reach their full potential.

    Training Courses

    Build confidence, encourage appropriate behaviours, and strengthen your bond with your dog. Next courses start on the 19th August.

    I run structured six-week training courses at Plumpton College on Tuesday evenings, designed to support puppies, adolescent and adult dogs through key developmental stages and training challenges.

    Puppy Training Course – £75 (Tuesdays, 7-8pm, Plumpton College)

    Designed for young puppies, this course focuses on loose lead walking, recall, impulse control, and confidence-building. It provides a strong foundation for early learning, helping your puppy grow into a well-mannered and confident companion.

    Adolescent & Beyond Dog Training Course – £75 (Tuesdays, 8-9pm, Plumpton College)

    For adolescent dogs going through their trickier teenage phase and adult dogs who need further support with training. This course covers core skills like loose lead walking and recall whilst also focusing on building your dog’s confidence and encouraging calm, appropriate behaviour through the use of force free, positive reinforcement based methods.

    Both courses provide structured learning in a supportive environment and focus on cooperative care based behaviours to help both you and your dog live the best life together.
