The value we bring

Advice shaped around your home

We train where your dog actually lives and reacts. That gives you guidance you can use straight away.

Calm methods with clear results

We use safe, non-aggressive training throughout every session. Your dog can learn without fear or confusion.

Support that continues after the visit

Training questions rarely stop the moment a session ends. We stay available with advice that helps you keep moving forward.

Practical training that makes daily life easier

Good dog training should make everyday moments calmer, clearer and a lot less stressful. We work on the foundations that matter most, including recall, loose-lead walking, sit, stay, down, polite greetings and better manners around doors and boundaries. That means fewer battles on walks, less chaos when visitors arrive, and more confidence when you're out and about together. We carry out home-based sessions, so we can see how things are really going in your own space and give advice that fits your routine. 

 

The Dog Heeler brings years of experience to families, helping you understand why your dog behaves a certain way and how to guide them more clearly. We also support puppies from 10 weeks old, giving you a steady start before bad habits get their boots on.

Training where your dog is most comfortable

Home visits let us spot the triggers that don't always show up in a class setting. We can work on doorway rushing, poor focus, over-excited greetings and uncertainty in new situations right where they happen. That makes the training more relevant to your dog and easier for you to keep using after the session ends. We use safe, non-aggressive methods that build attention and confidence without adding pressure. The Dog Heeler also gives you ongoing support and advice, so you're not left scratching your head once we've gone.

Frequently asked questions

Charlene Malone, Facebook

Joe was amazing from the moment he stepped through the door. In a single session, he taught us how to create an environment for our dogs that enabled them to be calm, which in turn allowed us both to relax more. We just adopted a rescue who was so anxious and nervous that we both struggled with the stress of trying to keep her calm, and in turn this was unsettling our 4-year-old sproodle. As I write this, we have two sleeping dogs snuggled up in their beds, and they no longer dominate the 4-seater sofa. The advice and knowledge Joe has is second to none, and all of his advice made sense. The main thing we got from the session was Joe teaching us, not Joe teaching the dogs. He instilled in us the skills we need to be more confident and responsible dog owners. Thanks again, Joe; you are excellent at what you do! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
