Asessment - £35
-
An assessment session is where I get to know you and your dog, observe your dynamic and get a feel for the relationship you two share.
-
During the session we will discuss what you and your pooch would like to get from the training along with any suggestions I may have as to which direction may be best for both of you
-
Post assessment I will be able to provide you with an idea of the number of sessions it will take you and your dog to achieve your goals and discuss when and where is best for you to undertake this journey. Our goal is to provide you and your dog with the repertoire of skills to ensure they not only fit in with your lifestyle but complement it as well.
1 - 2 - 1 Training sessions - £75
-
1-2-1 training sessions entail you, your pup and myself spending an hour together. During these sessions I will help train your dog, whilst also equipping you with the skills you need to continue training in the future.
-
1-2-1 sessions are beneficial as it allows you to build a positive working relationship with your dog under supervision, ensuring the two of you have confidence when out and about together. It puts you at the forefront of your dog's training and gives you both skills to carry throughout you lives.
-
The exact number and frequency of session is very much client and dog dictated, based upon, budget, time frame and needs. Some choose to do one session per week over several months, some choose to do multiple sessions per week, the choice is completely yours!
Morning Group Walk - £15
-
Your dog will be picked up from your house by me in the car. After picking up all the dogs we will head out on our destination
-
We guarantee at least a one hour walk from when we arrive at our destination.

Group walks are an excellent way to ensure your dog gets the exercise they need and enjoy some playtime with their new friends whilst you are at work.
-
Our walks are filled with physical and mental stimulation, working on group walk obedience and lots of stimulating games for your dog.
-
You will receive pictures and updates throughout our walk so you can see just how much fun your dog is having!
Happy Hour - £20
-
Our happy hour walk is an excellent and exciting service for you and your dog. Your dog will be picked up from the house and we will embark on a two-hour adventure with our pack of up to six dogs, where they will get to explore woodlands, swim in rivers, and run through open fields.
-
On top of all the exciting scenery we ensure your dog is mentally and physically fulfilled with lots of obedience work and stimulating games throughout the walk.
-
Due to the length of the walk and all the exciting things we will get to do, this is an excellent service for, but not exclusive to, high energy dogs.
-
Your dog will be dropped off very tired and ready for some well earned down time with you at home.
Solo Walks - £20
-
Our solo walks are great for dogs that need a little extra attention whilst out and about.
-
Some dogs have specific needs whilst other's don’t always enjoy the company of other dogs, and that’s OK!
-
A solo walk allows us to tailor the time to your dogs needs, whether that be health related or they simply prefer their own space, this service ensures they get as much out of their walk as possible.
All About Us
Hi! My name is Alex, I am a balanced dog trainer and a dog walker operating in Salisbury and surrounding areas. After working with dogs for two years in London I decided to move to Coombe Bisset and start my own company dog walking and training in the beautiful countryside. In February 2023 I embarked on a four-week dog trainers course covering; obedience, behavioural issues, and protection work where I was able to add a lot to my repertoire of skills when it comes to communicating and working with dogs.
Since completing my course in February, I have worked with you (dog owners), and your pooches to help you improve the relationship between you and your dog, thus creating a well-balanced dog that fits perfectly into your lifestyle.
I think it is hugely important that you (dog owners) can leave your dog in the care of someone you trust. Someone who will give the love and care that you would to your dog, and to ensure they are catered for and highly engaged whilst out on a walk when you are busy.
