Build foundations
Clear objectives, progressive sport training and constructive feedback for dogs and handlers.


Changing routes. Avoiding busy times. Watching every dog on the horizon. When daily life revolves around the next reaction, it is easy to lose confidence and stop enjoying the dog you love.
Build a clearer way forward: understand what is driving the behaviour, know how to respond and develop the handling to face everyday situations with more confidence. The goal is meaningful progress you can use beyond the training session.
TTB provides individual mobile behaviour support primarily across the Wirral and surrounding areas for reactivity, aggression, anxiety, resource guarding, over-arousal and impulse-control challenges. Sessions take place at suitable locations for the training need. Suitability and safety start with assessment.
The assessment explores triggers, learning history, previous training and everyday management. Tell us about your dog’s health, routine, home environment and any bite or handling history. These details matter alongside temperament and motivation when considering a sensible training route.
A behaviour label alone does not determine the package. We assess your dog, discuss what you need and identify training and management priorities. You do not need to diagnose the problem yourself.
• Clearer communication between you and your dog
• Practical handling and responses around agreed priorities
• Home training and management routines
• Gradual progression toward relevant real-world situations
• Owner confidence through understanding and practice
A structured programme establishes the system, coaches your handling and gives you clear practice between appointments. We review priorities, troubleshoot difficulties and increase the challenge as skills develop. Real-world progress follows the agreed plan, with appropriate safety and management in place.
Behaviour Foundations
For owners who need a clear system, professional coaching and practical foundations around defined priorities. Build the understanding and handling to keep progressing at home.
£697 · 6 private 1:1 sessions across 6 weeks. Pay upfront or 2 monthly payments of £348.50.
Behaviour Transformation
For established habits or connected challenges that need deeper coaching. Develop your handling through more extensive progression, troubleshooting and real-world practice, working toward greater everyday reliability.
£1,297 · 12 private 1:1 sessions across 12 weeks. Pay upfront or 3 monthly payments: £432.34, £432.33 and £432.33.
Both routes include practical owner coaching, home training and management guidance, and message support during the programme, as described in the programme details. Instalments cover the complete package, not separate session purchases.
Compare the behaviour programmes. The £150 assessment fee is credited once toward an eligible prescribed package. Arrange the credit with TTB before purchasing.

Can you help with aggression or reactivity?
Yes, these are among the behaviour issues TTB assesses and trains. Include what happens, the triggers and any bite history in the booking form. Assessment identifies the underlying priorities and the appropriate training route.
What if my dog struggles near other dogs?
Tell TTB before attending. The core programmes use private 1:1 sessions. Group suitability is a separate consideration, not a requirement to put your dog into situations they cannot yet manage.
What methods will be used?
The Training Blueprint uses clear communication, marker foundations, fair guidance and practical owner coaching. Discuss the approach and any equipment questions at assessment so you understand the proposed work.
How quickly will things improve?
We establish clear priorities and build progress through consistent practice, coaching and increasing difficulty. Your dog’s history and circumstances guide the pace. The six- and twelve-week structures give the work direction; progress is developed around the individual dog.
What happens after completion?
Package completion and trainer sign-off open the appropriate graduate options. Individual sessions, four-session blocks and relevant PAYG training remain subject to eligibility and suitability.
Read what your £150 assessment includes. Appointments last approximately 60 minutes and take place at a suitable location for your dog, primarily across the Wirral and surrounding areas.
