Private 121 Dog Training in Surrey

Sometimes your dog needs more than a group class can offer. 

 

Our personalized 1-2-1 training sessions in Epsom, Ewell, Banstead, Sutton, Mitcham and across Surrey and South London provide expert, focused attention tailored specifically to you and your dog's unique needs. 

 

Whether you're dealing with challenging behaviors, need specialized training, or simply prefer the flexibility of private sessions, we're here to help.

What Is 1-2-1 Dog Training?

Our private 1-2-1 training sessions offer completely personalized support for you and your dog. Unlike group classes, every minute is focused entirely on your specific goals and challenges. We work at your dog's pace, in an environment that suits them best – whether that's in your home, at our training field, or out on walks in your local area.

Each session is tailored to your individual situation, giving you the dedicated attention and customized training plan that helps you achieve real, lasting results.

What We Can Help With

Serious Behaviour Issues? We Can Help.

We specialize in complex behaviour modification including aggression, severe separation anxiety, resource guarding, and fear-based behaviours. Our experienced team has successfully helped dogs with serious behavioural challenges – even when other trainers have given up. If you're dealing with a difficult behaviour, you're in the right place.

Our 1-2-1 training sessions are ideal for addressing a wide range of challenges and goals:

Serious Behaviour Issues:

  • Aggression – toward people, other dogs, or in specific situations; we assess and create safe management and modification plans

  • Severe separation anxiety – destructive behaviour, self-harm, or extreme distress when left alone

  • Resource guarding – aggression around food, toys, spaces, or people; safely modifying possessive behaviour

  • Fear-based reactivity – dogs who react out of fear or anxiety rather than excitement

  • Bite history – working with dogs who have bitten or shown serious aggression

  • Extreme fear or phobias – dogs paralyzed by fear or with severe anxiety disorders

Common Training Challenges:

  • Reactivity – dogs who bark, lunge, or show frustration toward other dogs or people on walks

  • Recall issues – teaching reliable recall even with distractions

  • Leash pulling – transforming stressful walks into enjoyable experiences

  • Jumping up – teaching polite greetings with visitors and on walks

  • Separation anxiety – helping your dog feel calm and confident when left alone

  • Fear and anxiety – building confidence in nervous or fearful dogs

  • Teenage regression – getting adolescent dogs back on track

  • Rescue dog support – helping newly adopted dogs settle and build trust

  • Advanced training – specialized skills beyond basic obedience

Not sure if 1-2-1 training is right for you? Get in touch and we'll discuss your situation. We'll recommend the best approach for your dog – whether that's private sessions, group classes, or a combination of both.

Our Approach

All our 1-2-1 training uses positive reinforcement methods only. We never use harsh corrections, intimidation, or punishment-based techniques. Instead, we focus on:

  • Understanding the root cause of your dog's behavior

  • Teaching you how to communicate effectively with your dog

  • Building your dog's confidence and trust

  • Creating practical solutions that fit into your daily life

  • Empowering you with the knowledge to continue progress independently

Our force-free, science-based approach creates lasting behavior change while strengthening the bond between you and your dog.

Can't Make Training Sessions? We've Got You Covered

We understand that life gets busy, and sometimes traditional training sessions don't fit your schedule or circumstances. That's why we offer flexible alternatives that still deliver professional training results.

Done-For-You Training

Short on time or unable to attend training sessions? We can come and collect your dog, work with them for an hour, and bring them back home – all without you needing to be present.

How it works: We pick up your dog at a time that suits you, take them for a focused training session (at our field or in an appropriate location), work on the goals you've set, then return them home. You'll receive updates on what we covered and guidance on how to reinforce the training at home.

      Perfect for:

  • Busy professionals who can't commit to regular training times

  • Parents with young children who find attending sessions difficult

  • People with mobility issues who struggle to participate in active training

  • Dogs who focus better without their owner present (surprisingly common!)

  • Specific skills training like recall, lead walking, or reactivity training

Training While You're Away – House-Sitting Service

Going on holiday or away for work? We offer a unique service where we come and stay at your home to look after and train your dog while you're away.

How it works: Our experienced trainer stays at your house, maintaining your dog's routine while implementing a personalized training plan. Your dog gets the comfort of staying in their own home, plus professional training – and you come back to a better-behaved dog!

What's included:

  • Full house and pet care – we look after your home and dog as if they were our own

  • Daily training sessions – working on the goals you've set (recall, lead walking, settling, etc.)

  • Regular updates – photos, videos, and progress reports so you can relax knowing your dog is thriving

  • Routine maintenance – walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention

  • Personalized training plan – tailored to your dog's needs and your goals

  • Handover session – when you return, we'll show you what we've been working on and how to continue the progress

Perfect for:

  • Dogs who experience anxiety in kennels, or with new environments

  • Puppies who need consistent training and can't miss crucial development time

  • Dogs working through behaviour issues who need ongoing support

  • Owners who want their dog to continue training while they're away

  • Households where staying at home is less stressful for the dog than boarding
