Face to face group classes are often set up for your dog to fail. They can be loud, busy and make it hard for your dog (and you!) to concentrate. Even having a 1:1 trainer in your home creates a “fake” scenario for your dog to learn in and it can be stressful for you and your dog feeling as though you have to perform for the trainer
Because of the very stimulating environment of a face to face class, often our dogs make lots of mistakes, whereas for training to go more smoothly, we want instead, to set the environment up for your dog to succeed! This is much more achievable with just you, at home.
You can fit your digital training around your schedule so there’s no pressure to rush to class, or squeeze it in between other activities
Often you have a great session with a trainer but the questions come up after they have left, or between sessions, making your progress stilted as you have to wait to get your answer. We follow up all our digital sessions with an email summary and video demos of skills and techniques. Our high support Trainer In Your Pocket service also provides direct access to me during the week so you can check with me as and when things come up
Any questions or queries just ask….
We will meet for two separate 60 minute initial assessments, one for you and one for your dog.
“Everything I say is going to sound like a cliché, but working with Holly has been an absolute life-saver.
Her depth of knowledge and wealth of experience is incredible and I can’t imagine presenting her with a situation she hasn’t come across before and for which she will have a solution.
Holly is the kindest, most understanding, empathetic and supportive trainer you could wish for. She is always incredibly reassuring that you can work through something and has a suggestion for everything – even when you feel that you are at the end of your tether!
Holly has an incredible ability to quickly grasp what makes you tick as a dog guardian as well as understanding your dog’s struggles and having Holly on your team really makes you feel that you can cope with any challenge. Really importantly for me, Holly is also good fun to work with and has a great sense of humour. She keeps the fun element in training and will make sure you continue to enjoy your dog even when you are struggling, and for me that is very special. A BIG thank you for everything you’ve done to help us Holly. You really are an exceptional human being and dog trainer! I am so grateful that I found you”
