While group classes are great, a one-on-one approach can be transformative for addressing specific challenges or for dogs who find a class environment too stressful. Our private tuition provides a focused learning environment tailored to you.
Not sure if 1-to-1 training is right for you? We offer a free, no-obligation 15-minute phone call so we can understand your needs and recommend the best path forward.
- Facing specific behavioural challenges, like leash pulling, poor recall, anxiety, on-lead reactivity, or separation issues.
- Your dog finds group classes overwhelming due to nervousness, excitement, or reactivity towards other dogs.
- You have specific training goals, such as advanced skills or preparing for a life change like a new baby.
- Your schedule requires more flexibility than fixed group class times can offer.
Why Train with RSPCA Cornwall Experts?
Our biggest strength is our experience. Unlike many trainers, our team works hands-on, every single day, with rescue dogs facing some of the most complex behavioural challenges, from severe anxiety to deep-rooted reactivity.
This daily experience means we have a unique depth of understanding and a toolbox of proven, positive techniques. When you train with us, you're not just getting a trainer—you're getting an expert backed by years of real-world, front-line animal welfare work. We bring this same level of dedication and expertise to helping you and your companion.
Our Simple 3-Step Process
We make getting started with private training easy and stress-free. Here’s how we'll work together to achieve your goals.
Free 15-Min Phone Call
We start with a free, no-obligation 15-minute phone call. This allows our expert trainer to understand your situation, answer your questions, and discuss a plan before you commit to anything.
Tailored Training Plan
Based on our consultation, we'll create a personalised training plan with clear, manageable steps designed for you and your dog's specific needs.
Hands-On Sessions
We'll work together in practical sessions, guiding you through the techniques and exercises in your plan to build skills and confidence.
What We Can Work On Together
Our personalised sessions provide dedicated support based on proven, positive reinforcement techniques. Common areas we cover include:
Say goodbye to pulling and lunging! We’ll help you teach your dog to walk calmly by your side, making your outings more relaxed and fun for both of you.
Transform your dog’s recall from hit-and-miss to consistently dependable, giving you peace of mind and your dog more freedom. We build a strong, enthusiastic response, even with distractions.
For dogs that bark and lunge at other dogs, people, or traffic, we provide strategies to manage their environment and change their emotional response, building their confidence and your handling skills.
Get it right from the start. We can help with house training, crate training, managing puppy biting, and building a foundation of good manners for your new family member, whether they're a puppy or a rescue dog.

Frequently Asked Questions
Any dog can benefit! It's especially useful for puppies needing foundational skills, rescue dogs adjusting to a new home, dogs with specific anxieties or reactivity, and those who simply get too distracted in a group class setting.
Our primary training location is at our Centre in St Columb. However, we can also travel to you for home visits across Cornwall. Please remember the travel charge of £1 per mile from our Centre (TR9 6JS) applies for off-site sessions.
The first session is all about assessment. We'll observe your dog's behaviour, discuss your goals in detail, and begin implementing the first steps of your tailored training plan, ensuring you leave with practical exercises you can start using immediately.
