"Amy-Jane has been amazing just in a few weeks I've seen a massive difference in Betsy. She wouldn't even look at the harness and now we can get her in the harness no problem. We have been to other trainer, and it just never seemed to work so it just shows Amy-Jane has the knowledge. Amy-Jane is amazing with dogs and her experience shows with the training she gives."

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog training cost in Wakefield?

The cost of dog training in Wakefield can vary depending on the type of support you need. One-to-one sessions are usually tailored to your dog’s individual behaviour and goals, such as recall, loose lead walking, or general obedience. I offer personalised training plans so you only pay for the support that’s right for you and your dog, rather than a one-size-fits-all programme.

Do you offer puppy training in Wakefield and West Yorkshire?

Yes — I offer puppy training in Wakefield and across West Yorkshire, helping you get your puppy off to the best possible start. This includes toilet training support, recall foundations, socialisation guidance, and building calm behaviour in the home. Early training helps prevent future behaviour problems and builds confidence in young dogs.

Can you help with reactive dogs?

Yes, I regularly work with dogs showing reactive behaviour such as barking, lunging, or overexcitement on walks. My approach to dog behaviour training in Wakefield is force-free and focuses on understanding the cause of the behaviour rather than just suppressing it. This helps create long-term, positive change for both you and your dog.

Do you offer one-to-one dog training sessions?

Yes — I specialise in one-to-one dog training in Wakefield and West Yorkshire, which allows sessions to be fully tailored to your dog’s specific needs. This is ideal for dogs who need focused support with recall, lead walking, confidence building, or behaviour challenges in real-life environments.

What methods do you use for dog training?

I use force-free, reward-based dog training methods, also known as positive reinforcement. This means we focus on teaching dogs what we want them to do, rather than punishing unwanted behaviour. This approach is effective, ethical, and helps build trust and confidence between you and your dog.

How long does dog training take to see results?

Every dog is different, so progress depends on the behaviour being worked on, your consistency at home, and your dog’s individual learning pace. Many owners start to see improvements within a few sessions, especially with issues like lead walking and basic obedience, but more complex behaviours may take longer to fully change.

Where do you provide dog training services?

I provide dog training in Wakefield and across West Yorkshire, offering support in both home environments and outdoor locations depending on what is most suitable for your dog’s training needs. This helps ensure that training is practical and relevant to everyday life.

Do you offer help with dogs that pull on the lead?

Yes — I offer loose lead walking training in Wakefield and West Yorkshire to help dogs that pull, lunge, or become overexcited on walks. This is one of the most common issues I work with, and we focus on teaching your dog how to walk calmly using clear, force-free techniques. With consistency and the right guidance, most dogs can make noticeable improvements in their walking behaviour and become much more enjoyable to take out.
