I am based in Southampton, Hampshire, and offer training across the city and surrounding areas. My sessions are designed to reflect real-world scenarios, so training takes place in local green spaces or other environments that best support the specific needs of each dog.

The approach varies depending on the dog. I believe in training in real-world environments, as that's where you'll be walking and working with your dog daily. For behavioral challenges, we begin in quiet, controlled settings to establish strong foundational handling skills before progressing to more complex environments. If you have a specific goal or location in mind, we can tailor the sessions to work towards achieving that over time.

Fox K9 Training is a judgement-free zone. Your first session will be all about getting to know you and your dog, discussing any challenges you're facing, and understanding your goals. There's no need to worry about your dog's current behaviour or training level - this is a safe space for growth. I use your dog's daily food for training, so please bring it along in a pouch, along with their collar, lead, and either a longline or flexi-lead. If you have any questions or concerns before your session, don't hesitate to reach out - I'm here to help!

Not at all! It's never too late to begin training your dog. If you have a puppy, we can start building strong foundations right away to help them grow into a well-rounded dog. For older dogs of any age, we'll work together to understand your goals and create a tailored plan to achieve them.

I offer 1-2-1 sessions to provide dedicated, personalised attention for you and your dog. These sessions are especially important for behaviour modification, where you'll learn how to handle your dog and, if beneficial, gradually work with my stooge dogs to enhance their training.

Group classes are available for regular clients and you’ll be invited to join once your dog’s training reaches a level that’s suitable for a group environment.

1-2-1 sessions are typically 1 hour long, but longer sessions can be arranged if you're traveling from a distance or if your dog requires more intensive training.

If both of your dogs require training for behavioural issues it's best to book separate sessions to ensure each dog receives the focused attention they need. However, if you're looking for general obedience training, I can arrange 1.5-hour sessions that can be split between the two dogs. Please email me for further details.

The frequency of sessions depends on the specific challenges you're addressing with your dog. For foundational training, such as loose lead walking and recall, I recommend scheduling sessions every 2 weeks to once a month to maintain steady progress until you're satisfied with your dog's behaviour. For more complex training and behaviour modification, weekly to bi-weekly sessions are ideal, as regular adjustments may be necessary to ensure consistent progress.
