Puppy TRAININg at home

€150 (under 6 months old) excl. VAT 23%

Is your dog not as well mannered as you might like? I can help you to improve your dogs manners at home and in public so that you can enjoy your canine companion without the embarrassment. I can help with -

• Recall

• Jumping up problems

• Excessive barking

• Digging or destruction

• House training issues

• Puppy socialisation

• General training

I also work with families who have a dog and are expecting a baby into their home to make any adjustments as relaxing as possible. Puppy behavioural issues will have an additional charge if an evening appointment (behavioural issues are those that are related to fear and outside the normal expectations of puppy behaviour).

EMERGENCY CALL OUTS (SUNDAYS AND OUT OF HOURS) €300

MEDIA CONSULTATIONS 

I have been involved in many projects including advertisements and behavioural campaigns for Pedigree, training dogs for TV and movies as well as writing articles for newspaper and online forums.

SCHOOL & GROUP TALKS 

I have years of experience giving talks to schools and groups about dog behaviour and body language. It is so important to teach children about how to be safe around dogs and to give people the confidence to know what a dog is trying to communicate. I can also give talks on other animals both domestic and wild. All my talks are fun and informative, please get in touch for more information. I most recently created and presented a 6 week course for those looking to work with dogs. I have lectured at both school and college level.

I also offer online consultations for those who cannot travel to Dublin, I have had a high level of success with private online consultations from clients all over the world from Nepal to Switzerland.

PHONE CONSULATION €40

If you are unsure what you need or just simply want to ask some questions but you don’t need a full consultation we can schedule a phone consultation.

Its so important that before you bring a dog into your home that you are prepared for that dog to change your life completely. I can help your family get ready for a dog, help you choose a dog that suits your home and all the dos and don'ts. I will give you advice on what to look for an how best to choose a puppy from a litter. I will be with you every step of the process and you will have a discounted home visit arranged with me on the first day your pup arrives to settle them in and help you have the best start.

If you intent to bring a dog into your home speak to a professional or appropriate rescue centre and let them help you find the perfect four legged friend. 

Dog Business consultations €750/day

I have worked in the dog industry for over 16 years, including 5 years running my own dog training and daycare centre. I can provide advice, support and expertise if you are deciding to open your own dog business. Consultations include a 2 hour meet up as well as a follow up phone consultation. Let me pass on my knowledge to you!

I also offer low stress handling  and body language talks for veterinary practices. 

Group classes for puppies 

I currently run group puppy classes in Anicare Clontarf for new puppies up to the age of 6 months. Classes run for 4 consecutive weeks at 8pm on Tuesday evenings. These classes include all basic level training as well as socialisation. Classes are €80 for 4 classes payable in advance.

fear of dogs

I work with children who have a fear of dogs. A fear of a dog can be extremely stressful and can often result in a child putting themselves in harms way in order to avoid contact with a dog. I work in a very positive and sensitive way to help children overcome their fears and allow them to feel comfortable leaving their home without the panic and stress of seeing a dog. Please feel free contact me for more information about this service.
