121 DOG TRAINING FOR REACTIVE SMALL DOGS

TRANSFORM YOUR DOG FROM FEISTY TO FABULOUS!

NEW FOREST | SOUTHAMPTON | NATIONAL

Do you dread your daily walk because your small dog barks at everything they see?

Are you worried about your dog's growling, biting or nipping?

Is it a nightmare taking your dog to the groomer or vet?

Don't wait any longer to ask for help with your dog's behaviour. Smaller dogs don't mean smaller problems and the longer you leave them the bigger they get.

Contrary to popular opinion, small dogs don't think they're big dogs and they're not trying to dominate you. Nor are they being deliberately difficult. Most of the time they're just scared.  They need to feel confident you'll keep them safe, confident they can communicate and be listened to and confident they have choices in difficult situations.  My training is tailored to the unique challenges that small dogs face, to help them grow in confidence and give you your confidence back too.

Book a free 20 minute phone call or Zoom and tell me what you're struggling with.

Amazing progress with my Yorkie who has fear based aggression and anxiety. Rachel spent time getting to know and understanding his issues. She gave me specific instructions/tools to use. Very supportive, excellent guidance and would highly recommend Little Rascals Dog Coaching.

Specialist Dog Training for Small Dogs

Common small dog behaviour problems include (but are not limited to) reactive behaviour on walks, barking at or nipping visitors, growling or biting when being groomed or handled, resource guarding and toileting indoors.

Traditional style obedience training or generic puppy classes often don't help because they're not tailored for your dog's individual traits or needs.

The dog training and behaviour support you receive from me is different. I specialise in working with small breed dogs so you'll get help that is tailored to address the unique challenges small dogs encounter, helping them develop calmness and confidence.

If you live in the New Forest or Southampton area coaching is on a one-to-one basis at your home or with you on your walk. If you're further away, coaching is via Zoom. Scheduling is flexible so no need to worry you won't be able to commit.
