One-to-one dog training · South East London
Maybe your dog pulls on the lead and walks have stopped being enjoyable. Maybe their recall has fallen apart, or they're reactive and you're not sure where to turn.
I offer personalised 1-2-1 sessions for dogs aged 6 months and over — built entirely around you and your dog, in the real environments where it matters.
How can I help you and your dog?
Every dog is different, and so are the challenges that come with them. Whether you're dealing with a specific behaviour or simply want to make everyday life easier, I'll help you understand your dog and build practical skills using kind, reward-based training.
Reactivity
Does your dog bark, lunge, stare or become overwhelmed when they see other dogs, people, bikes, cars or other triggers?
Reactivity can be stressful for both you and your dog, but it doesn't mean you have to avoid walks forever. We'll work at a pace your dog can cope with, helping them feel safer around their triggers and teaching them alternative ways to respond.
We'll look at what's driving the behaviour, help you recognise when your dog is approaching their threshold, and teach practical skills you can use on everyday walks. The aim isn't simply to stop the barking or lunging, it's to help your dog feel more comfortable and give you both the tools to navigate the world together.
Loose lead walking
If walks have become a battle because your dog is constantly pulling, we'll work on building better engagement and teaching your dog that walking with you can be rewarding.
Recall
Whether your dog's recall needs a complete overhaul or simply some polishing around distractions, we'll build the skills needed for a reliable recall in real-world situations.
Settling and calm behaviour
Does your dog struggle to switch off at home, gets over-excited easily or constantly demands attention? We'll work on helping them understand how to settle and regulate their behaviour.
Barking
From barking at people passing the house to reacting to sounds, visitors or other dogs, we'll look at what's triggering the behaviour and develop practical strategies to help you manage and change it.
Rescue and adolescent dogs
Newly rescued dogs and adolescent dogs can come with their own challenges. I'll help you understand your dog's behaviour, build confidence and establish the foundations you need for a successful life together.
And more
Polite greetings, focus and engagement, impulse control, enrichment, tricks and all those little everyday skills that make life with your dog easier.

Training Walks
It can be difficult to fit in training around a busy lifestyle so I’m here to take a lot of the hard work out of your hands without you being present. Training walks are open to all Milne and Mutt clients.
These personalised training walks are all about your dog's unique requirements whether it's tackling a specific issue or simply fine-tuning loose lead walking, recall, and attention.
Before your dog's initial training walk, we will arrange a call to address any challenges you're encountering and wish to work on. During this discussion, we will outline training objectives to help me tailor a personalised walk for your dog.
Training walks are only open to Milne and Mutt Clients.
