Individual Dog Development Plans
An Individual Dog Development Plan is a personalised, structured training journey designed specifically around your dog’s age, temperament, and learning needs. It provides a roadmap for growth, ensuring that each stage of your dog’s development is supported with the right guidance and training techniques.
These plans focus on building strong foundations in obedience, confidence, and social skills. By working step by step, your dog gains the tools to navigate everyday life calmly and reliably, whether at home, on walks, or around other dogs and people.
Individual Dog Development Plans are also highly adaptable. Any specific behavioural issues – such as pulling on the lead, jumping, reactivity, or anxiety – can be addressed within the plan, ensuring the training is relevant and effective for your dog’s unique challenges.
Beyond behaviour, these plans are about strengthening the bond between you and your dog. You’ll learn how to communicate clearly, encourage good habits, and manage challenges with confidence. With consistent, ethical guidance, your dog will grow into a well-behaved, happy, and balanced companion, equipped for a lifetime of positive experiences.
3 Week Programme
A 3 week breed specific doggy development plan is a short, structured training and enrichment program designed to help your dog build new skills, improve behaviour, and develop confidence and good habits. It typically combines training, socialisation, exercise, and mental stimulation to support your dogs overall development – whether its a puppy learning the basics or an older dog refining their manners.
5 Week Programme
A 5 week, breed specific doggy development plan focuses on developing key areas of your dogs behaviour and wellbeing through gradual learning and positive reinforcement. Each week introduces new goals and challenges, allowing steady improvement while reinforcing previously learned skills. This type of plan can be tailored for puppies, adolescent dogs, or adult dogs depending on their age and needs. This programme would be suitable for a dog with more complex behavioural issues.
8 Week Programme
An 8 week doggy development plan is a structured, breed specific programme designed to guide your dogs growth over two months – focusing on obedience, confidence, social skills, and emotional balance while identifying and addressing behavioural issues such as jumping, pulling, barking, anxiety, or poor impulse control. This plan provides clear weekly goals and builds a stronger foundation for a well-mannered, confident, and calm dog through consistent training positive reinforcement, and lifestyle structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our training services and how they can benefit you and your dog.
How do you tailor the plan to my dog?
Every dog and owner are unique. During your consultation, we’ll talk through your dog’s behaviour, routines, and challenges in detail. From there, Sara creates a step-by-step plan using ethical, evidence-based methods that fit your dog’s personality and pace of learning.
What kinds of issues can you help with?
Your plan can address everything from basic manners and recall to reactivity, anxiety, or confidence-building. Whether you’re working on everyday skills or more complex behaviours, Sara will help you create a calm, structured path forward.
What methods do you use in training?
We use ethical, relationship-based methods that focus on building trust and understanding between you and your dog.
How long will it take to see results?
Every dog learns at their own pace. Some owners notice positive changes after just a few sessions, while others may need more time for deeper progress. Sara focuses on long-term, lasting results – not quick fixes – so you and your dog can build true confidence together.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions are held wherever your dog learns best – often at home or in your local area (Clevedon and surrounding areas). This allows Sara to see your dog in their natural environment and design realistic, everyday strategies that fit your lifestyle.
