Dog Behaviour
Services We Provide
At First Friend Dog Training, we specialise in gentle, instinct‑based methods that work with your dog’s natural behaviour, not against it. By understanding what your dog is trying to communicate, we can effectively address and resolve a wide range of unwanted behaviours, including: - Aggression towards people or other dogs
- Excessive barking
- Jumping up
- Chewing or destructive behaviour
- Pulling on the lead
Our approach centres on returning to the basics, helping your dog relearn key skills in a clear, instinct‑aligned way. Once those foundations are solid, we build on them to shape the behaviours you want, creating lasting, real‑world results.

Adolescence and Older Dog Consultations
Tackle behaviour challenges with confidence through our personalised, one‑to‑one consultations designed specifically for adolescent and adult dogs. Our sessions focus on hitting the reset button—going back to the foundations and rebuilding behaviours in a way that truly makes sense to your dog.
By creating clearer communication and mutual understanding, we help you and your dog get back on the same page. Real progress happens with your commitment. When you consistently apply the techniques and insights we cover, you’ll find it easier to guide your dog’s behaviour and see meaningful, lasting change.
If you’d like continued support as your dog improves, follow‑up sessions are available to fine‑tune their progress and keep you both moving forward.
Puppy Consultations
Give your puppy the perfect start in life with our personalised, one‑to‑one behaviour consultations. Our sessions are designed to build strong, positive foundations—helping your puppy learn to trust you, feel confident in new situations, and develop great habits from day one.
We don’t just focus on training your puppy; we focus on empowering you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to guide them as they grow into a happy, well‑mannered companion.
If your puppy could benefit from extra support as they learn, we offer follow‑up sessions to smoothly reinforce progress and continue shaping their blossoming behaviour.
