The Booking Process
To make a booking, please contact us here.
After making your booking with us you may be sent a questionnaire about your dog and family life dependent on the issues presenting. Please try to give as much detail as possible in your answers. This should be sent back to us before your appointment.
It is helpful if all family members who have regular contact with your dog can be present at the time of your training session. You will find it much easier to modify your dog’s behaviour if the whole family is on board and understands what is required of them.
For behaviour cases we require that you take your dog to be checked by a vet alongside us working with us. This is so your vet can rule out any medical problems that could either cause or contribute to the behavioural issue.
How many sessions will I need?
Some dogs only require one session while more complex cases may require several follow up sessions and ongoing support. The majority of cases can be resolved fairly quickly. Many owners we work with are surprised by how much they can achieve in a relatively short space of time. We recommend that reactive dogs take part in our 8 week Tortoise Method Plan. Please get in touch with us for guidance on your individual case.
Where does the training take place?
Training sessions can take place at your home, out on a walk or at our secure field 9 acre training field in TN12 7NB.
How are payments taken?
Payment can be either cash on the day at the session, or Credit/ Debit Card in advance via emailed invoice. If you want to pay by card, you will be sent a 'SquareUp' electronic invoice by email which contains a link for secure payment. Payment should be made either before or on the day of your appointment. If you are booking multiple sessions payment should still be made by the day of your first training session. Fees will be charged for all payments made late.
Are there any travel charges?
Yes we charge the current recommended price per mile.
