Dog Training WIMBLEDON
A Holistic Approach to Dog Training
Dog training can begin at any age and is one of the most effective ways to enrich your dog’s life, as well as your own. Whether you have raised your dog from a puppy and want to build new skills or correct unhelpful behaviours, or you have adopted a dog who may have experienced stress or trauma, training can make a remarkable difference.
Betty has extensive experience working with rescue dogs and supporting reactive or nervous dogs through gentle, holistic training methods. Most dogs thrive when given structure and clear guidance, and a focused ten-minute training session can be just as mentally stimulating as a long walk.
What Dog Training Can Include
Training sessions are tailored to your dog’s age, temperament and needs, and may include:
• Learning the basics, including crate training
• House training
• Heel, sit and leave
• Managing reactivity towards dogs, cats or other animals
• Addressing fear of loud noises
• Reducing jumping up or excessive barking
• Improving food or toy guarding behaviours
• Walking calmly on a lead without pulling
• Guided sessions for adoptive owners to support a smooth transition for newly adopted dogs
Supporting Rescue, Reactive and Nervous Dogs
For adopted or rescue dogs, early training is essential to help them settle safely and confidently into a new home. Betty works closely with owners to understand each dog’s background, triggers and sensitivities, helping them build trust and develop positive coping mechanisms.
Her calm, compassionate approach is particularly effective for dogs who are anxious, fearful or overstimulated.
Tailored Training Plans and Pricing
Every dog and owner is unique, so training prices are created on a personalised basis. Betty will take time to understand your goals, any specific challenges you are experiencing and the outcomes you want to achieve. From there, she will design a bespoke training plan suited to your dog’s needs and your home environment.
