2 to 3 hour structured training sessions
Dog Day School + Handover is a focused training service designed to help dogs make progress efficiently while keeping handlers informed, involved, and confident.
Your dog works directly with the trainer during the session, followed by a clear and practical handover so you understand exactly what was taught, how it was taught, and how to continue the work at home. This is not daycare and not board and train. It is guided learning with transparency and continuity.
This service supports puppies, pet dogs, and assistance dogs in training.
Dog Day School + Handover is a good fit if you are
• Short on time but want quality and ethical training
• Feeling stuck on specific skills or behaviours
• Wanting professional input without handing everything over
• Raising a puppy and building strong foundations
• Owner training an assistance dog and needing targeted support
• Wanting clarity and consistency between sessions
• Looking for faster progress without pressure
This service complements handler involvement rather than replacing it.
Each session is tailored to your dog’s stage, temperament, and goals.
Trainer led work may include
• Engagement and focus
• Foundation skills and impulse control
• Loose lead walking and positioning
• Settle skills and emotional regulation
• Confidence building and exposure
• Public manners and everyday reliability
• Assistance dog foundation behaviours where appropriate
Training is force free, paced carefully, and focused on skills that transfer into real life.
Each Dog Day School session runs for 2 to 3 hours and follows a clear structure.
