One-to-One Dog Training

Struggling With Training? A Personalised Approach May Be the Answer.

Every dog is different, which means there is no single approach that works for everyone. If you are finding training challenging or feel that progress has stalled, one-to-one training sessions can provide a highly effective and tailored solution.

Private training allows us to focus entirely on you and your dog, creating a structured plan that is designed around your specific goals, challenges, and lifestyle. This personalised approach often leads to faster progress and more reliable results compared to group environments.

The Benefits of One-to-One Training

One-to-one sessions offer a range of advantages, including:

  • A fully personalised training plan tailored to your dog’s individual needs

  • The ability to progress at a pace that suits both you and your dog

  • Complete focus from your trainer without group distractions

  • Flexible scheduling to fit around your lifestyle

  • Targeted support for specific behavioural or training challenges

  • A calm, controlled environment ideal for learning and development

Who Is It Suitable For?

Private training can be beneficial for a wide range of dogs and owners, including:

  • Dogs who are easily distracted or overwhelmed in group settings

  • Puppies needing focused foundational training

  • Dogs with specific behavioural challenges

  • Nervous or reactive dogs who need a quieter learning environment

  • Owners who prefer a more flexible and personalised approach

A Focused Path to Progress

Whether you are working on basic obedience, improving everyday manners, or addressing more complex behavioural issues, one-to-one training provides the clarity, structure, and support needed to move forward with confidence.

If you feel group classes are not the right fit, or you simply want more individualised guidance, private sessions offer an effective and supportive way to achieve lasting results.

    “As a first-time dog owner, I am very grateful for all the advice and practical help Julia has given me to get my dog through the puppy and teenage stage. Over the last two years Julia has provided ongoing individual progression and training for a very lively Sprocker.” - Teresa Jones

  • Black dog on chair

    I have been using The Surrey Dog Training Company since September 2019 for my not so little puppy Loki. Julia and Team are amazing with the dogs! We have done both puppy and puppy plus classes. They have been brilliant; we have both learnt so much! I highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for the best puppy class. Thank you, Julia and Team, for giving me such a gentleman of a dog. - Molly Silvester and Loki

  • German Shepherd dog

    “I can highly recommend Julia as a top-class dog trainer. She has helped with puppy socialisation, and 121 puppy training for my 4-month-old German Shepherd puppy. She obviously loves and understands dogs and can get the best out of our dogs. Julia was able to give me all the correct tools to go home and practice and has made training look effortless.”

  • Brown puppy

    “Julia and her team are hard to beat in the dog training world. Their approach is based on everyone having fun and the results are really impressive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone with a dog in need of training!” - Sally & Toast

  • Dog on agility course

    “Thank you, Julia, for your endless kindness and patience. We (I mean the dogs and me) love Fun Agility. It is sometimes challenging for us all, but never any pressure, and always fun. You have helped me to learn and understand more about my dogs and build a stronger relationship with them. I cannot recommend your classes highly enough, they are outstanding.” - Theresa, Patch and Mitzi

  • Happy dog running around barrel

    “I can highly recommend agility courses with The Surrey Dog Training Company. I started with my Springer Spaniel, Alfie, over 5 years ago and we are still there! Each time is different, but always lots of fun, even if there are distractions i.e. apples, which mean I have to work harder! We both thoroughly enjoy our agility sessions.” - Kim Peters and Alfie

  • Golden Retriever puppy

    “Just like to say my dog really enjoys the classes. So, if she could speak, she would say join up. Classes suitable for all. My dog is unpredictable, and Julia goes to great lengths to accommodate her. Classes medium, small or individual. Friendly, supportive advice. A great asset to the community.” - Monica and Lunar

  • Brown dog looking away from camera

    “Julia and her team are all approachable and friendly people. Knowledgeable about all your dog’s behaviour delivered in a professional and non-condescending manner. Plenty of one to one during the classes. Whatever your needs are I’m sure Julia and her team will be able to help!” - Claire Crocker

  • Border Collie lying on grass

    “We have a crazy 2 year old Border Collie (Jackson) and found Julia at The Surrey Dog Training Company a couple of years ago. Julia has been a huge part of the progress we’ve made, and without her help we wouldn’t have the well behaved, wonderful dog we have today! She has always provided excellent advice and is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to dogs, their training, and their behaviour. Julia is always so patient and really cares for the dogs and people she works with. We would highly recommend” - Caroline and Steve Vallis

  • Happy dog facing camera

    “I was recommended Julia by a friend of mine and I have to say how amazing she and her team have been with Cookie. We have had one to one sessions and group training and both have exceeded expectations. They are fun, motivating and encouraging. With the 1-1 sessions you get detailed follow up notes and reminders to support the learnings. Cookie is a much better behaved dog and has learnt some cool tricks as well. Thank you Julia and we look forward to Cookie progressing to the next level with you very soon.” - Ian & Ben Wallis & Cookie

  • Pug facing camera

    “SDTC is absolutely amazing! Julia came to see our family at home to start training even before we had collected our new puppy from the breeder. She has been there for us every step of the way from puppy training to daily dog walking 5 years on. Julia and her brilliant team are the most lovely, most caring and most kind dog carers you will ever meet and we are so blessed that they are able to care for our precious little Pug on a regular basis. We absolutely love the entire team! Thank you SDTC!”
