What makes Alison’s training so special:

* One-to-one with your dog in your own home – so easy, there are no excuses!

* A truly personalised service for you: helping you with training issues in context.

* Prevent behavioural problems in puppies before they arise.

* Flexible hours and training times to suit you.

With tailor-made, one-to-one training packages, you’ll have the best chance of success with whatever it is you want to achieve, from puppy basics to problem solving with adolescents and adults.

If you’re struggling to give your dog enough time, with the special Trained for You service Alison can walk and train it to give you a happy, healthy dog when you get home. High energy working breeds a speciality!

All dogs, young or old, love to sniff. Why not teach them a wonderful new game to play with you? Train your pet dog to be a super sniffer dog! Scentwork offers a great way to have fun with your dog and tire him or her out quickly.

If your dog struggles to contain its excitement in some situations or just won’t settle down, you need Real Dog Yoga. It relaxes both your dog and you! More than that though, it teaches your dog how to control its own emotions and keep calm. Alison is a Qualified Instructor of Real Dog Yoga, trained by Jo-Rosie Haffenden of Channel 4's 'Rescue Dog to Super Dog'. Available as one-to-ones or workshops.

Satisfied dog and owner

Alison has really helped us with Louis our one year old Airedale. Her methods are gentle and they work. Louis is by nature boisterous dog and taking him for walks was becoming too difficult because he pulled so strongly. Alison has transformed the walks into a manageable pleasure by teaching us how to manage Louis. She has also helped in many other ways with Louis.
Highly recommended!

Fantastic Trainer - highly recommend!

Alison has been working with my Airedale, Ivy, over the past few months and has been a huge help with various problems that have arisen. Alison's way of training is so lovely and calm, she not only instils confidence in Ivy but also in me as her owner. Ivy has made huge progress in all aspects of her behaviour and I am thrilled that we have achieved this purely with expertise. I would highly recommend Carefree Dogs.

Alison is fantastic. I felt she got to know my dog and us owners so that she was really able to help. More importantly she is so kind and gentle and my dog loves her.

Excellent

Alison is fantastic. We've seen a marked improvement in our puppy - who was very head strong.

After the very first visit it was obvious that our dog Ghost, loved working with Alison.

Alison tackled lead walking, concentration and relaxed behaviour around other dogs.

Carefree Dogs was not the first training we had used, but was certainly the last. We felt at ease, and completely supported. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
