Private Lessons

Clear guidance. Better training.

Looking for personalised support with your dog's training or behaviour?

Our Private Dog Training Lessons are held at Latton Bush Recreation Ground in Harlow, Essex, providing a practical setting to work one-to-one with me on your dog’s individual training and behaviour goals.

This is a one-hour session where you work one-to-one with me, giving us time to discuss your concerns, understand your dog's history and assess their current behaviour and training.

All training with ASCENDK9 starts with an Initial Assessment.

Following your assessment, I'll recommend the most appropriate pathway based on your dog's individual needs and the goals you want to achieve. This means your training is tailored to your dog rather than following a one-size-fits-all programme.

Each private lesson is one hour long and delivered one-to-one with me, giving you dedicated time to work through your dog's training in a focused environment. Depending on your goals, we can work on areas such as:

  • Reactivity and behaviour

  • Obedience

  • Recall and off-lead reliability

  • Loose lead walking

  • Engagement and focus

  • Impulse control

  • Confidence building

  • Real-world distractions

You'll also learn how to continue the training between sessions, so you can build on what we've worked on together and make progress as part of your everyday life.

Training Pathways

These structured pathways are designed to create meaningful, long-term improvements. By following a progressive programme with consistent sessions, your dog develops reliable skills, focus, and decision-making that carry over into real-world situations, giving you confidence in everyday life.
