“Words can’t explain how amazing Juniper was in our dog training journey. We have an 18 month spaniel who is hyper and refused to walk on the lead … We saw massive improvements with Rodger after just one session, and have continued to work with Juniper to help Rodger meet his full potential. I can’t recommend Indigo Dog Training enough. They have been a life-saver.” — Emily (and Rodger, Cocker Spaniel)
Training for happy dogs and even happier dog carers
Puppies
Getting your new puppy can be a terrifying responsibility. Time to channel all your excitement and anxiety — to set you both up for your future life together.
Teenagers
In the chaos of your dog’s teenage stage, you feel like it’s all going wrong. Let’s add more fun and rewards to overcome the frustrations of adolescence.
Adults
Life with your dog isn’t always as easy as you hoped. Whether you got your dog as a puppy or a rescue, training can bring the joy back into both your lives.
Recall
Imagine how much more fun life could be if you trusted your dog to come back. With reliable recall you gain the confidence to let your dog run free.
Loose-lead walking
Your daily walks should be relaxed and stress-free. When your dog walks without pulling, the pair of you can enjoy visiting more places together.
Tricks
Everyone loves a dog who can do cute tricks. But trick training isn’t just to show off: it’s great fun, fends off boredom, and builds your bond with your dog.
“We bought a family dog with the idea of joint walks and games, but unfortunately we didn't manage well … After four meetings … the dog listens, walks on a leash and we know how to play with him to make him happy … We didn't expect such effects so quickly, and such easy cooperation. Everything was explained clearly, shown in an understandable way and I definitely recommend 100%.” — Emilia (and Diego, Cockerpoo)
Training for an easier life and stronger bonds
You chose your dog because you wanted the perfect best friend to share your adventures and chill out with you at home. But that dream can sometimes seem a lot harder than you imagined. How will you ever manage to teach your dog everything they need to know? How can you turn things around so that your dog really will be the best part of your life?
We can work on it together. I’ll help you teach your puppy, teen or adult dog all the vital skills they need for sharing your world. And I’ll show you how to do it in a way that strengthens the bonds between you. It could be the fresh start that puts you both on track for a more joyful, stress-free life together.
Turning you and your dog into a happy team
Training can feel like a chore – something you have to endure before you get to enjoy your dog. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Training your dog should be one of the fun things you do together as a team.
I’ll help you and your dog become that happy team. Because ultimately you both want the same thing: a life full of wonderful walks, awesome play sessions and relaxed evenings chilling together.
