      <image:title>Walk &amp; Train - Walk Forward Training walks with a purpose. Walk Forward is designed for owners who want professional support with their dog's training but don't always have the time to work on it consistently themselves. Before starting, we'll carry out an assessment to discuss your dog's history, any concerns you may have, and the goals you'd like to achieve. This helps ensure the programme is the right fit for both you and your dog. Following the assessment, your dog will attend regular training walks focused on the areas they need the most support with. These aren't standard dog walks. Each session has a clear purpose and is carried out in real world environments, helping your dog develop skills they can use in everyday life. Training may focus on loose lead walking, engagement and focus, neutrality around people and dogs, confidence building, impulse control, reactivity, and general manners out and about. Sessions may take place in different locations depending on what your dog is working towards, providing valuable experience in a range of environments and situations. While I'll be doing the hands on training during the walks, you'll remain an important part of the process. After each session, you'll receive an update on what was worked on, how your dog got on, and what you can continue practising between sessions. The aim is not for your dog to rely on me forever, but to give both of you the tools and experience needed to continue moving forward together. Walk Forward is ideal for busy owners, dogs that need extra practice between training sessions, owners looking for support with specific training goals, and dogs that need help navigating the real world calmly and confidently.</image:title>

      <image:title>1:1 Training - 1:1 TRAINING Help your dog move forward with calmer walks, better recall, and more reliable behaviour in real life situations. At POINT FORWARD, we provide practical 1:1 dog training that focuses on real progress in everyday environments, not just training for the sake of it. Whether you're struggling with pulling on the lead, reactivity, recall, jumping up, or general manners, we help you build clear communication and lasting change. Struggling With Your Dog? You’re not alone. Most owners come to us because: Walks feel stressful or uncontrollable Recall only works “sometimes” Your dog reacts to other dogs or people Training works at home but not outside You’ve tried classes, but nothing sticks The good news is: these are all fixable with the right structure and consistency.</image:title>
