How do I start the training process with you?

We begin by booking an in-person consultation. During this consultation, we will assess your dog’s behavior, understand your concerns, and develop a personalised training plan. Follow-up sessions will then be scheduled based on this plan.

What type of issues do you address?

We can help with a wide range of behaviour issues such as leash pulling, separation anxiety, resource guarding, excessive barking, reactivity, and aggression. Our training programs are personalised to each dog to ensure the highest success rate!

Can you guarentee results?

Yes, provided you follow through with the training and advice given and are able to be consistent with your training plan. We train and educate the owner as much as we train the dog!

Yes! All our consultations and training sessions take place in the comfort of your home and local area.

Is there an additional travel cost/fee?

We help dogs throughout the whole of the North East! Some of our clients are just about on our doorstep, while others can be an hour away from our current location. Many of our clients do not need to pay an additional travel cost at all, however our average travel cost is around £10 per session for those who live a little further away from us.

Alex Graham, South Shields

"We got in touch with Lisa as we were desperate!! Our big lad Max just wouldn't stop barking. In the house, garden and the whole way round on a walk! After trying what we thought was everything, we found Lisa and only 2 sessions in we can see a huge difference with Max and can actually enjoy going for a walk and not avoiding everyone and everything in sight. Max has quite a way to go with him being quite anxious but very impressed at how well he is doing so far. Lisa writes up a summery of everything she has gone through so you can keep going back to it to ensure your following the training correctly! It was such a pleasure to meet Lisa and we would 100% recommend!"

How does this work?

We'll come to your home and assess what's really triggering your dog's reactivity. From here, we build a training plan tailored specifically to your situation and get you started with homework that works. Your dog will walk calmly on the leash and stay calm around other dogs in 30 days, guaranteed.

"My dog Cody would constantly bark at other dogs and walking him was a nightmare. I had already been to 2 other trainers previously and got no where. I found Distinctive K9 on facebook and decided to give training one more shot. We did the 3 session package and Cody is doing brilliant. We are now going to the beach daily and I no longer feel embarrassed! Really happy with Codys progress. Highly reccomend Lisa at Distinctive K9 xx”. Kirsty Thompson, North Shields

"We recently had Lisa for a 4 week period for a one year old cavapoo reactive to dogs, bikes, children etc. l can honestly say the tools given to me by Lisa had changed things dramatically. Ginger is so much calmer plays with dogs and if on occasions she is having a bad day l know exactly what do do. Walks are a pleasure now , it has been worth every penny . Would definitely recommend 5*”. Kim Coxhall, Sunderland
