-
What training methods do you use?At Sirius 7K9 Training, we use science-based, reward-driven training techniques to create a positive learning experience for your dog. Our approach focuses on clear communication, reinforcement, and structure to ensure lasting results.
-
What types of dogs do you train?We work with all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Whether you have a young puppy, a rescue dog, or a reactive adult, our programs are tailored to meet your dog’s specific needs.
-
Do you offer in-home training?Yes! We provide in-home training sessions to work on behaviours in a familiar environment. This is especially helpful for addressing home-specific issues like door manners, leash pulling, and reactivity.
-
How long does it take to see results?Every dog is different, but many owners see noticeable improvements after just a few sessions. Consistency and practice are key—our goal is to give you the tools and knowledge to maintain progress at home.
-
Do you offer group classes or private sessions?We specialize in private, one-on-one sessions for a fully customized experience. However, we occasionally offer small group training for socialization and obedience practice.
-
What age should I start training my puppy?It’s never too early to start! Puppies can begin basic training as early as 8 weeks old. Early socialisation and foundational skills help prevent behavioural issues down the road.
-
My dog is aggressive/reactive. Can you help?Yes! We specialize in behavioural rehabilitation for dogs struggling with aggression, anxiety, and reactivity. We create a structured plan to help your dog build confidence and respond appropriately to triggers.
-
What areas do you serve?We provide in-person training in and around London
-
How do I book a session?You can book a session by phone, or by sending us a message through our contact form. We’ll discuss your needs and recommend the best training plan for your dog.
-
What should I bring to a training session?Bring high-value treats, your dog's favourite toy, a standard leash (not retractable), and a well-fitted collar or harness. If your dog has a history of reactivity, we may recommend additional equipment for safety.
-
