Behaviour Consultation

Hands-on, personalised training for dog and owner

We can show you how to change your dog's behaviour where you need it most: at home, on walks, or even in the pub garden.

From jumping up and barking, to pulling on the lead and biting, learn how to solve the problem with practical coaching and written training plans. Plus, you and your dog will have fun while we're at it!

Dog training walks for busy
pet-parents

Combine the convenience of dog walking with the benefits of professional dog training.

We know you have a busy life, so let us give you hands-on support through individual training sessions with your dog. They'll learn new skills faster, allowing you to de-stress and focus on other things.

Additional support for dogs with 'big feelings'

For scared, anxious, hyperactive, or aggressive dogs, there's no one-size-fits-all approach.

By taking a much closer look at your dog's history and lifestyle, our goal is not just to change your dog's behaviour, but to get to the root of the problem. We then give you the skills and knowledge you need in order to change it for good.

Satisfied Owners. Happier Dogs.

I was very lucky to come across Ciara at Venture Dogs.

As soon as she came to meet me and my pooches, it was evident that she not only knew what she was talking about but was passionate about helping dogs and their owners too.

I’ve seen a definite improvement in how my dog behaves but most importantly, I feel as though I know my dog better and can help him in ways I previously didn’t know how.
