Is Your Dog’s Behaviour Making Life Feel Limited?

Feeling frustrated, stressed, or downright embarrassed by your dog’s behaviour?

Are you being dragged down the street or having to apologise constantly because your dog is jumping up, or maybe you’re avoiding going outside or having visitors over because your dog turns into a menace and the sheer thought brings you dread.

You’ve spent hours reading all the advice, tried the tips, and maybe even worked with other trainers… yet nothing seems to work.

You are not alone.
And you are not a bad owner.

Many owners feel stuck, unsure of where to turn, or like they’ve tried everything without success. But there is a solution…

Train Your Dog, Empower Yourself.

The Adaptive Dog Training Package is designed to meet you and your dog exactly where you are. Whether you’re a first-time owner or a seasoned dog lover who’s never faced this kind of behaviour before, I’ll help you turn things around — with calm, confidence-building, positive training that actually works in real life.

I’m here to guide you and your dog every step of the way.

Fantastic Foundation!

Becky is the perfect mix of friendly and professional. The personalised package addressed our pup’s jumping, pulling and nerves around dogs. We’ve learned so much. Our life with Gladys has a fantastic foundation now.

What Makes Adaptive Dog Training Different?

Not just about the dog – It’s about YOU, too!

Training isn’t only about changing your dog’s behaviour; it’s about building your confidence as an owner. You’ll learn not just how to train your dog but how to feel proud of your progress and your connection.

Tailored just for you

No generic plans here. I design a custom training approach that matches your dog’s unique needs and personality, ensuring the best possible results for your family.

Positive, ethical methods

I use positive reinforcement techniques, focusing on:

– Clear communication

– Reward-based motivation

– Building a loving, trusting relationship with your dog

Step-by-step support

Each session is designed to be easy to follow. And after every session, I’ll provide ongoing support to keep you on track and empowered.

Empowerment for you & your dog

Training should be a fun and rewarding experience for both of you. You’ll feel empowered as you understand your dog’s behaviour and learn how to guide them in a way that builds a stronger bond and more harmonious life together.

What you will gain:

  • A calmer, more confident dog who listens to you
  • The ability to go out in public without stress or fear
  • The confidence to handle real-life challenges with ease
  • A stronger bond built on trust and understanding
  • The tools to keep improving long after our sessions end

What Barnsley dog owners are saying:

Supportive & Patient!

Training our Rottweiler Ragnar wasn’t easy, but Becky was so supportive and patient. We feel so much more confident now. She really knows her stuff, we’d definitely recommend her! Thankyou Becky from us and, of course, Ragnar!

FAQ’s

Yes, I am fully insured and a Foundation Degree qualified dog trainer with years of experience.

I use positive reinforcement methods that are gentle, effective, and build trust.

It depends on your dog’s needs as to whether they will need a 4 session or a 6 session package. After the Meet & Greet, I’ll create a plan that sets realistic goals for your dog. Even a few sessions can lead to great progress.

1-2-1 training isn’t just great for your dog – it’s great for you, too!
