Services
At Dooney’s Dog Training we offer a range of 1-to-1 sessions and group sessions to suit your individual requirements.
Read on to hear about the type of behaviours we can help you with
1-2-1 Sessions
We will begin with a 45-minute pre-assessment to get to know your problems and the areas you would like to work on with your dog. After that we will schedule 1-hour sessions either at a location that suits you or at Dooney’s enclosed field.
Group Sessions
Groups sessions are limited to 6-8 dogs per group so please book in advance to secure your place and avoid disappointment.
Puppy Training Sessions
(up to 18 months)
Our Puppy Training Sessions aim to work on basic behaviours (sit & down), engagement, introducing boundaries, recall and loose lead walking, as well as health & welfare checks and understanding how to socialise. Each session lasts approx 30 minutes.
Saturdays: 10:00 - 10:30
Foundation Training Sessions
(18 months +)
Our Foundation Training Sessions aim to work on the same basic training (boundaries, recall and loose lead walking etc) and behaviours (sit & down) as our puppy class, but for slightly older dogs (18 months +). Each session lasts approx 45 minutes.
Saturdays: 10:45 - 11:30
Next Step Training Sessions
(All Ages)
Our Next Step Training Sessions are aimed at puppies and dogs who have already nailed own the basics. We work on further skills for boundaries, recalls, loose lead walking, heel work, socialisation, duration and distractions as well as emergency stops, and “stand”.
Saturdays: 11:45 - 12:30
What we can help with
At Dooney’s Dog Training we can provide private or group sessions that can help with a wide range of behavioral issues and training for you and your puppy or dog including:
Think of them like the basics. Sit, down, stand, stay – the foundation of all training.
No more running out of the front door or jumping out of the car – one of the most important factors when training.
Don’t let your dog take you for a walk – loose lead walking training can stop pulling.
Does your dog come back to you when you call? Work on this by starting on a long line and building up to free running recall, including distraction training.
Not all reactive dogs are aggressive dogs! Reactivity is your dog reacting to anything from people to cars with behaviour including barking, lunging, and cowering.
Counter surfing, urinating in the house, chewing, barking, and guarding are just some of the behavioural issues training can help with.
This isn’t just about making friends, but helping your dog remain neutral around other dogs and animals.
How to settle your dog in the evening, after a walk or when they are just getting a bit too excited.
