Turn puppy chaos into calm confidence
Bringing a new puppy home is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. The constant biting, the toilet training accidents, the chewing on everything—it’s a lot to handle! You’re not alone, and it doesn’t mean you have a “bad” puppy. It just means they need gentle guidance on how to live in our world.
That’s exactly what these private sessions are for. We’ll work together in your home to create a personalised plan that turns those puppy struggles into strengths.
Tip! These training sessions are great even when your puppy isn’t fully vaccinated.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to frequently asked questions. If you have any other specific questions, please get in touch with Cathy.
Not at all! It’s never too early. Starting with a private session as soon as your puppy is home is the single best way to prevent bad habits from forming and build a brilliant foundation for the future.
Yes! Adolescence can be even more challenging than the early puppy days. If your older puppy has started ignoring you, jumping up, or barking on the lead, these one-to-one sessions are the perfect way to get back on track.
We start in the comfort of your own home and garden. As your puppy progresses, we can also work in your local park or neighbourhood in the Epsom & Ewell area.
I offer packages of two or six sessions. We can discuss the best option for you and your goals during our initial chat. Simply get in touch to check my availability.
Each private session lasts for one hour. I recommend scheduling them about a week apart to give you plenty of time to practice the games in between.

Amy Ah-Moye –
Cathy was brilliant! We’d highly recommend both her puppy group classes and one to one sessions for anyone with a puppy looking for these. We found them so helpful & Cathy is a fantastic trainer.
We’ve also had a couple of months of one-to-one sessions with Cathy, alongside the group sessions. Her one-to-one sessions are brilliant – they’re so personalised to what you feel you need help with, with your puppy, and she has given us countless tips and advice which have been absolute game changers with our pup, massively helping along toileting, stopping biting, going into her crate happily, and leaving things (to mention a few!). She’s also on her way to having great recall due to Cathy’s help, which we’re really grateful for! She was available for troubleshooting in between sessions also, which we found so helpful.
Honestly we can’t recommend Cathy highly enough! Our puppy has made great progress with all of her training, support and advice, so thank you Cathy!

Another great experience with Cathy building our relationship with our 8 month old puppy and enhancing her recall and behaviour. We are delighted with the progress we have made thank you Cathy!
Ian Cashman –
Absolutely fantastic training sessions for our young staffy puppy. I highly recommend getting lessons from Cathy. All tailor made for your dog. Friendly sessions that are fun for you and the dog.
Mairead Rawal –
Cathy was brilliant. She was really informative and taught us a lot about how to train our puppy. After only two sessions we’ve come a long way towards having a well behaved pup!
Georgina Hopson –
When we got our first puppy, we knew we had to get his training right! Cathy at Horton Dogs has been amazing in helping us achieve this. Not only is our whippet growing into a friendly (well-behaved!) dog, but the 1-2-1 sessions and the group sessions have helped us gain confidence too. It has been such a fun, positive and relaxed way to bond with our new family member!

Cathy is a wonderful dog trainer. The training, guidance and support she has given me have already made a big difference.
