Are you worried about letting your dog off the lead?
Does your dog disappear on walks for longer than you are happy with?
Do you have trouble catching your dog when it is time to put the lead back on?
I’m Laura, your personal trainer and I am here to help
Watching your dog have fun off the lead is a delight for every owner, but it can be a daunting experience if you don’t know how he will behave. It can be a very worrying time when your dog has disappeared out of sight and you can’t see where they have gone. Your dream of enjoying off lead walks with your best friend can quickly turn into a nightmare when they rush up to other dogs, disappear chasing wildlife and you feel you haven’t got the control or the skills to keep them safe.Â
Without training things have the potential to get worse. A dog who disappears for hours in the woods becomes a liability rather than a joy to own, especially if they start chasing livestock, annoying other owners or end up on a road. Many dogs end up restricted to a life of on lead walks as they can’t be trusted to run free.
I have been training dogs for over 10 years. Having owned, foster and dog walked a variety of different dogs I know how daunting it can be to let a dog off the lead for the first time. I have worked with a variety of breeds from tiny Yorkshire Terriers to Great Danes and Newfoundland’s, I understand the individual needs of each dog and owner. Â

“Laura’s support has been invaluable in producing a happy dog who is well on the way to being a delight inside and out, on and off the lead, despite not being the easiest breed. She’s patient and creative, and is able to adapt her approach and advice to the preferences of individual owners and dogs. There are many dog training resources out there, some good, some perhaps less so, but Laura’s non-judgemental approach and willingness to engage directly with specific challenges stand out.” Mrs Moriarty
