1-to-1 Puppy Training​
I offer 1-to-1 puppy training sessions in your home to help you and your puppy build a happy, confident, and trusting relationship. These sessions focus on essential foundation skills such as settle, sit, down, recall, loose lead walking, and touch, as well as guidance on toilet training, mouthing, chewing, and early socialisation.
1-to-1 Adult Dog Training
My 1-to-1 adult dog training sessions focus on the behaviours you and your dog are finding challenging, such as loose lead walking, recall, and emergency stops. Each session follows a bespoke training plan tailored to the needs of both you and your dog, using kind, effective, reward-based methods to build reliable, real-life skills.
Solo Training Walks
Solo training walks combine exercise with focused, one-to-one training in real-life environments. These sessions are designed to work on agreed behaviours that need improving, helping your dog build better habits and stronger skills through consistent, positive reinforcement.
Meet Me
Hi, I’m Giorgia (Gio), a professional dog training instructor based in South East London. I work using positive, science-based methods that are kind, fair, and effective, helping dogs and their owners build calm, confident, and trusting relationships.
​
I’m a graduate member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT), a certified Canine First Aider, and fully insured. I’m currently working towards my APDT accreditation and studying for an Advanced Diploma in Applied Animal Behaviour, a recognised programme by the Animal Behaviour and Training Council (ABTC).
​
I’ve had the opportunity to work as a dog trainer in a rescue environment, which showed me how much of a difference training, understanding, and support can make. It’s one of the reasons I focus so much on helping prevent problems before they grow, so more dogs can stay happy in their homes.
