Working with me in person.

Upon enquiring, we can set up a free discovery call, so I can learn more about you, and your dog. If you decide to join the Trained by Scarlet Pack, we can book an initial consultation, which is carried out in person. This is essentially an assessment (don’t worry, there is no pass or fail) of your dog to get a better view of what is going on and what your goals are. This is usually carried out in your home, or in a public place, depending on the issue.

After our consultation, I will then create a tailor made training plan suited to your needs, and we can start your training journey! You will receive video instructions of exercises after each session to help you follow along. Written breakdowns can also be provided upon request.

All of my packages and block bookings come with free WhatsApp support from the hours of 9am -5pm. This is like having a dog trainer in your pocket! Using WhatsApp, I can provide feedback, help, and support in the day-to-day while we work together.
