What is one to one training?
One to one training is personal, hands-on coaching where the trainer works directly with you and your dog. You get tailored help and guidance, focusing fully on your situation. Sessions are built around your needs, your dog’s behaviour, and your goals. This isn’t a group class. You get a trainer’s full attention for practical skills that matter in everyday life. It helps make your dog a reliable companion – whether for family protection, household obedience, or specific scenarios.

Meet the trainers
Andy Fairweather
FIFE, SCOTLAND
Andy’s interest in working dogs began in his teens, when he started training spaniels and labradors from local gamekeepers for the shooting field. Over the years, he has spent time with his own dogs in both training and real-life settings, focusing on practical skills and reliability.
Alongside his experience with dogs, Andy has developed a strong understanding of human behaviour, having worked in life coaching and studied NLP. This allows him to see training from both the dog’s and the handler’s perspective, tailoring his approach to fit each partnership. Whatever the discipline, Andy’s philosophy is to combine clear communication and motivation with patience and kindness, aiming for confident, well-balanced dogs and handlers alike.

He’s also had the honour of representing Scotland with his spaniels, an experience that deepened his appreciation for teamwork and consistency.
Whether working on obedience, social adjustment, or protection scenarios, Jim supports clients with honest feedback and steady guidance. He believes successful placements go beyond basic obedience, aiming for full integration and confidence, always based on trust, patience, and practical experience.

How our one to one dog training service works
One to one training is personal, practical, and hands-on.
Sessions are at times that suit you. You get privacy, no group distractions, and direct instruction. During each session, the trainer shows you what to do and explains why each step matters. You learn how to give clear commands, read your dog’s body language, and reinforce good behaviour. Practical exercises involve you and any family members who help care for the dog.
One to one training suits your pace. You don’t move on until you and your dog are comfortable. You always know what to work on between sessions, and you get honest feedback throughout.
At the end, you have a dog that’s reliable and settled in your home. The whole process is about building trust, clarity, and long-term peace of mind for you and your family.
Direct, personal sessions between you, your dog, and the trainer, targeted for your unique goals.
Initial Assessment
We gather information about your dog’s background, behaviour, and household needs. Together, we set clear goals. You get honest advice on realistic expectations.
Private Environment Education
Early sessions take place in low-distraction settings. Your dog learns basic commands, boundaries, and calm behaviour.
Proofing Behaviours
Your dog is exposed to real-world situations. This could be outdoors, around other dogs, or with new people. This builds reliability and manages reactions to distractions.
Advanced Obedience
Training then covers more complex tasks. Off-lead control, scenario-based drills, and specialist exercises are included for those needing specific issues addressed.
Continued Support
After main sessions finish, support continues. You can access advice for maintenance training or upgrades. The team is available for questions as you integrate training work into family life.
