Tailored Dog Training for Londoners: Helping You and Your Dog Thrive in the City

Dog training in hectic parts of a city like East London comes with unique challenges: from a lack of outdoor space to an inability to avoid the things that stress you and your dog out.

I help:

  • Dogs overwhelmed by noisy streets, busy parks, or constant stimulation find confidence and calm.
  • Owners frustrated with pulling on the lead, poor recall, or reactive behaviours rediscover the joy of dog walks.
  • Teams needing inclusive and personalised training, whether that involves accessibility considerations, pronouns, or lifestyle preferences.

Urban city life can be overwhelming for dogs and their owners. I provide tailored dog training solutions to help you and your dog handle these challenges with ease. Your dog’s training needs to be as unique as they are - and that’s exactly what I offer.

DITCH THE DRAMA, SAY YES TO RELIEF!

Freya was super friendly and helpful with our dog, who required some support to become less reactive around certain people and dogs.

Freya gave us practical solutions that we could easily implement at home and outside, and also was able to make suggestions regarding potential medical issues that could have caused some of the behaviours we were concerned about.

We would recommend her and will definitely continue working with her in the future.

Freya is such a superstar trainer and her knowledge is really invaluable. She taught my little terrier Ziggy and me how to help him settle and reign in his big emotions.

She offered us bunch of small adjustments as well as a long term training plan, that have done so much difference. She's so great at explaining the way the dogs think & learn and her approach is very holistic, considering Ziggy's health and history as well as current behaviours.

I really loved working with her and would love to do more classes in the future.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our first session will take place online, where we will deep dive into your dog's behaviour, history, set a plan and get some initial things in place. We’ll then move to in-home training, and then progress to outdoor settings like the park and local area when your dog is ready.

Typically I work with dogs and their people for 4-6 sessions, this is in the form of fortnightly sessions. But sometimes the goal might be longer term and require more sessions. It's all on a case by case basis!

No! Training sessions only take a few minutes, so it’s easy to fit them into your routine.  

 Often, clients have tried tips from videos or trainers without proper guidance. With personalised coaching, you’ll learn the timing and techniques to make positive reinforcement effective.

You’ll notice changes in your bond with your dog within two weeks. Each session brings you closer to your goals.

Behavioural issues often have deeper roots. Multiple sessions allow us to address the cause, not just the symptoms, and give you ongoing support. A package ensures we cover all the bases and give you the accountability to succeed.
