1-2-1 Dog Training allows us to focus on any particular area of Dog Training or behaviour you would like to improve on during your own personalised session

Private / 1-2-1 Dog Training

If you’d like tailored, focused support, private training is the way to go. Together, we’ll tackle your specific challenges, set priorities, and build a clear training plan so you can see steady progress. All 1-2-1 Dog Training is given personally by Lisa of Nimbus Dogs

Life with a dog isn’t always the picture you imagined

Some days are wonderful and others leave you frustrated, guilty, or just stuck. I get it. I’ve been there.

The good news? You and your dog can have a calmer, happier life together. Most of the time, it comes down to better understanding each other and having the right guidance.

That’s where I step in.

I work with both dogs and their humans to rebuild trust, strengthen bonds, and help you feel like a real team again. Whether that’s through one-to-one coaching or supportive group classes, I’ll make sure training feels do-able and actually rewarding.

Common Struggles 1-2-1 Dog Training Can Help With

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Jumping up, grabbing the lead, or biting during walks
  • Barking or lunging at cars, bikes, runners — or anything that moves
  • Not getting along with other dogs (or getting a little too excited around them)
  • Counter-surfing and stealing food
  • Jumping on guests or strangers
  • Struggling to settle, always on the go
  • Loose lead walking feeling impossible
  • Anxiety in the crate or being left alone

If any of these challenges ring true, you’re in the right place.

How to work with me

The best place to start is with a FREE 15-30min phone call. 

We’ll chat about your situation, what you’re struggling with, and what you’d like to achieve. From there, I’ll advise whether classes or dedicated one-to-one sessions would suit you best.

If you’d like a meet and trial before committing to a block booking, I offer an Intro Session (see details below). It’s a chance for me to get to know you and your dog, and for you to see how I work. I always say it’s a bit like finding a personal trainer, the fit has to feel right, and I want you to enjoy the process.

Roy (German Shepherd / Malinois)

Lisa's patience, clear guidance, and expertise has been amazing!

My dog is now able to remain neutral in situations that used to be overwhelming. The trainer not only worked with my dog but also took the time to teach me how to handle different scenarios with confidence. Every step of the process was explained in a way that made sense and felt achievable.

What I appreciated most was that Lisa never rushed the process and used positive reinforcement that set us up for long-term success.

If you want a trainer who truly understands dogs, Lisa at Nimbus Dogs is the best!

Cheeno (Keeshond)

Having completed puppy training classes with Lisa to then return for 1-2-1 training during adolescence was invaluable... we really don't know how we would have coped during this 'challenging' puppy phase! Lisa taught us how to handle Cheeno's energy bursts, improve his focus, recall and control his excitement when meeting other dogs. We have recommended Nimbus Dogs to all our dog parent friends and neighbours.

Roxy (Cane Corso)

Roxy has completed a number of training walks with Lisa, in and around Nonsuch Park. During the walks Lisa introduced a number of activities/techniques to encourage engagement/improve focus and provide additional stimulation in a real life setting. They have greatly helped Roxy’s socialisation and confidence building, I would definitely recommend.

Ella (Cockapoo)

Cannot recommend Lisa highly enough! She really, truly understands how dogs think, and seems to be willing and ready to take on any canine challenge.

She is kind, patient and incredibly competent, both with dogs and their owners, always working hard to find a solution to any problem presented to her.

She's been amazingly helpful for our little cockapoo who's been going through a particularly difficult time, and her support has been invaluable. Definitely check out Nimbus Dogs!

Rafa (German Shepherd)

Our boy Rafa is a large, powerful and boisterous German Shepherd and needed some recall and obedience training including walking off lead.

Lisa spent time training him, improving his recall and general behaviour and each time he came home more beautifully mannered.

Lisa (and Neal) have given brilliant advice about managing a big dog like Rafa including things like diet and home training routine.

I highly recommend Nimbus Dogs, but don’t take my word for it, try them yourselves.

August (Border Collie)

Lisa is that rare breed of dog trainer who really understands how a dog thinks and importantly, how to help owners tune into that thinking. Could not recommend her more, we had great results with her when training our high energy Border Collie August.

Even after a few sessions and following her advice we have noticed a tangible difference and we look forward to further strides forward with their guidance!

Horatio (Pomeranian)

Nimbus Dogs has been absolutely wonderful for me and my dog Horatio. Before we started, he had plenty of energy but not much focus. After working with Lisa, I’ve seen such a big difference in him, calmer, more responsive, and just generally happier.

The sessions are really well thought-out, but also relaxed and enjoyable. I especially liked that everything was tailored to Horatio and that Lisa always explained things in a way that made sense for us. The follow-ups and recaps were super helpful too, so I never felt lost in between classes.

Thanks to Nimbus Dogs, our walks are so much easier now and Horatio’s recall has improved a lot. I feel like I understand him better, and he clearly loves the training.

I’d definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to build a better connection with their dog.
