Adult Dog Training in Epsom & Surrey

It's never too late to teach an old dog new tricks! I offer positive, games-based training for adult dogs in Epsom & Surrey. Whether you're navigating adolescence or tackling long-term challenges like pulling or poor recall, my effective methods can help you build a calmer, happier life together.

Looking to enrich your life with your adult dog?

You have a wonderful companion, but perhaps you’re looking to:

  • Refine existing skills: Want a truly reliable recall or perfect loose-lead walking in any situation?

  • Tackle long-standing habits: Still struggling with issues like jumping up, mild reactivity, or selective hearing that never quite got resolved?

  • Learn something new and fun: Interested in exploring activities like scent work or advanced tricks to keep your dog’s mind engaged?

  • Keep training fresh and enjoyable: Looking for ways to maintain your dog’s skills and strengthen your bond as they mature?

My modern, games-based training is perfect for adult dogs, providing mental stimulation and effective solutions in a fun, positive way.

Positive, games-based training for adult dogs

Training doesn’t stop after puppyhood! My approach uses fun, simple games that work brilliantly for adult dogs, keeping their minds sharp and reinforcing good habits. We focus on:

  • Advanced Skill Building: Taking foundational skills like recall and loose-lead walking to the next level of reliability.

  • Concept Training: Strengthening core concepts like focus, calmness, and self-control, which are key to solving many behavioural issues.

  • Enrichment & Fun: Introducing new activities that satisfy your dog’s natural instincts and prevent boredom.

  • Strengthening Your Bond: Continuing to build your partnership through positive, interactive training.

Whether you want to polish existing manners or explore new horizons, my methods make learning enjoyable and effective for adult dogs.
