Unsure whether you need 1-1 dog training or a behaviour consultation, or what the difference is? [Read my guide to dog trainers and behaviourists] to help you work out which type of support best suits you and your dog. Pricing and booking information for 1-1 training can be found below.
Not sure what type of support you need?
A 1-1 training session can be useful when you would like individual help with a particular skill or everyday training challenge. This gives Hanne time to understand what is happening, observe you and your dog where appropriate, and work through practical training strategies with you.
Sometimes what first appears to be a training issue may have a more complex behavioural or health-related component. If this becomes apparent, Hanne can advise whether a behaviour consultation or veterinary input would be a more suitable next step.
Training sessions
Your training sessions will include:
- Discussing you and your dog’s individual needs
- Creating a bespoke session programme to set you and your dog up for success
- Practical training elements
- Action plan and handouts to follow between your training sessions
The frequency of your sessions are flexible according to your dog’s progress. 1-1 dog training is suited to all dogs of any age and for the greatest success, we do recommend a minimum of three sessions.
Note: there is a difference between dog training and behaviour services and how we can support you. To understand these differences, click here. Hence, if you are experiencing a number of pet problems or extreme behaviours, we recommend you have a look at a programme of behaviour modification with our dog behaviour consultation process. You can find out more about this by visiting our Consults page. Alternatively, Hanne provides one hour virtual troubleshooting slots to help owners receive remedial advice which they can get going.

Case study: Bailey
Psychotherapist Karen and family welcomed Labradoodle puppy Bailey into their lives in Hertfordshire, and planned to train her as a therapy dog working with children with behavioural disorders. While researching the specific positive reinforcement training she was looking for, Karen came across Hanne’s name, engaging her services because of Hanne had the professional standards, knowledge and experience needed to train both herself and Bailey to prepare them for their accreditation training. Karen describes Hanne as ‘outstanding’ and values her dedication to the job. The following is reported by the client, Karen.
“Hanne is incredibly responsive and organised. You have a full training session and during that hour you’re concentrating hard on Bailey’s behaviour, so it’s very reassuring to immediately receive all the detailed follow up notes and videos. Her methods are current and backed up with all the latest research. Her attention to detail is amazing.
She really does know what she’s talking about. I would love to work professionally with Hanne.”
