Training services

Sniff’n’Stroll ensures dog training that builds trust, confidence, and positive behaviour—tailored support for you and your dog at every stage. Our services help dogs develop focus and calmness in different environments, learn good manners at home and on walks, and build confidence through real-life training. We provide clear guidance for owners, whether new to dog training or returning after a break, creating lasting positive behaviours and a strong, happy bond between you and your dog.

All our training includes stimulation games (breed specific) which are designed to engage your dog’s mind as well as their body. These games improve focus, problem-solving, and confidence, making learning new commands and behaviours easier and more enjoyable. Mental stimulation reduces boredom and unwanted behaviours, strengthens the bond between you and your dog, and helps them remain calm and attentive in different environments. By combining training with fun, interactive exercises, dogs learn faster, retain skills longer, and develop into happy, well-rounded companions. 🐾

Basic obedience

Basic obedience training gives your dog the essential skills for everyday life, including sit, stay, recall, lead walking, and calm manners. By understanding your dog’s psychology and how they learn, we use positive, effective techniques that create long-lasting, reliable behaviours. This approach builds confidence, improves communication, and strengthens the bond between you and your dog for lasting success. 🐶

Handling

Handling training focuses on teaching dogs to remain calm, confident, and cooperative during everyday interactions such as grooming, vet visits, and general handling. By understanding your dog’s psychology and using positive, trust-building techniques, this training reduces stress and builds tolerance while strengthening the trust between you and your dog. The result is a more relaxed, responsive dog and a smoother experience for both dog and owner. 🐾

Crate training

Crate training teaches dogs to view their crate as a safe, comfortable space rather than a form of confinement. When introduced correctly, it supports toilet training, prevents destructive behaviours, and helps dogs settle calmly when left alone. Crate training also provides structure and security, reducing anxiety and promoting independence, while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dog has a positive, familiar place to relax. 🐶

Socialisation

Socialisation training helps dogs learn how to confidently and calmly navigate the world around them, including meeting new people, dogs, environments, and experiences. By gradually introducing positive interactions at your dog’s pace, this training builds confidence, reduces fear and reactivity, and encourages appropriate behaviour in different situations. When combined with reactivity training, dogs also learn to manage strong emotions, such as frustration or overstimulation, responding calmly instead of reacting impulsively. Together, socialisation and reactivity training lay the foundation for a well-balanced, relaxed dog that can enjoy everyday life with ease. 🐾

Puppy 1-2-1

1-2-1 puppy training provides tailored support designed around your puppy’s individual needs and your lifestyle. Sessions cover essential foundations such as basic obedience, lead walking, recall, handling, crate training, socialisation, and mental stimulation games. This approach helps owners understand their puppy’s behaviour and development while giving puppies a calm, positive learning experience that builds confidence, good habits, and long-lasting behaviour—strengthening the bond between puppy and owner from the very start.
This includes all aspects of training mentioned above. 🐶

Puppy socialising class

(£45 per pup)

Puppy socialising classes provide a safe, structured environment for young dogs to learn how to interact appropriately with other puppies, people, and new experiences during their most important developmental stage. These classes are carefully tailored to suit each puppy’s age, size, breed, and confidence level, with controlled playgroups, gradual exposure to new stimuli, and individual support where needed. Through positive, age-appropriate training methods, puppies build confidence, develop good manners, and learn essential skills such as calm play, focus, and basic obedience. For owners, the classes offer personalised guidance, practical handling skills, and education on puppy behaviour and body language, helping to prevent future behavioural issues. By adapting sessions to meet both puppy and owner needs, puppy socialising classes strengthen the bond between them while laying the foundation for a confident, well-adjusted companion ready to thrive in everyday life. 🐾

Behavioural sessions

(£65 single session-packages available)

Behavioural issues in dogs, such as reactivity, anxiety, fear, aggression, or poor impulse control, can develop for many reasons, including genetics, lack of early socialisation, past experiences, or unmet physical and mental needs. Working with a professional trainer provides owners with expert guidance to identify the root cause of these behaviours rather than simply addressing the symptoms. A skilled trainer tailors training plans to suit the individual dog, using clear communication, positive techniques, and structured support to create lasting change. Understanding a dog’s breed traits and natural instincts is a key part of this process, as different breeds are predisposed to certain behaviours, energy levels, and learning styles. When training is aligned with a dog’s psychology and breed-specific needs, it becomes more effective, builds trust, reduces frustration, and improves overall wellbeing. The result is a calmer, more confident dog and a stronger, more harmonious relationship between dog and owner. 🐾

Behavioural session package

A dog behavioural session with sniif'n'stroll is a personalised, one-to-one experience designed to understand and address the underlying causes of a dog’s behaviour. The session typically begins with a detailed discussion about the dog’s history, daily routine, environment, breed traits, and any specific concerns, followed by careful observation of the dog’s behaviour and body language. I then creates a tailored training plan, using clear, reward-based techniques to teach the dog alternative, more appropriate behaviours while building confidence and emotional regulation. Owners are actively involved throughout the session, learning how to communicate effectively, manage situations, and apply the training consistently at home. This hands-on approach empowers owners with the knowledge and skills needed to support their dog in everyday situations, leading to reduced stress, improved behaviour, stronger trust, and a calmer, more enjoyable life together. 🐾

Common behaviours that can be worked on during these sessions include:

🤍Reactivity towards other dogs or people
🤍Anxiety or fear-based behaviours
🤍Excessive barking
🤍Pulling on the lead
🤍Jumping up at people
🤍Resource guarding
🤍Poor impulse control or overexcitement

🩵A calmer, more settled dog with improved manners
🩵Reduced stress and frustration for both dog and owner
