I'm Janet and I'm here to help you have a happier life with your dog. As a Dog Trainer with a teaching and HR background, I have over 2 decades of training knowledge and skills to help you create harmony from the start. Using positive only methods and fun dog sports, I help you build a better bond and solve the issues you're having. Whether you're looking for group classes, Mantrailing sessions or 1:1 help (in person in the Greater Manchester area or online via zoom), I can offer a tailored package for you to achieve the results you need.
Mantrailing is a game of hide and seek. We train your dog to find a specific person we’ve hidden, and we train you to work with them as part of your very own search team. Perfect for building your bond, increasing your dog’s confidence, and a lot of fun for both of you! Mantrailing can also help with a variety of issues such as low confidence, reactivity and over excitement. Sessions are held across Greater manchester.
Dog Training in your home and in the real world. I work alongside you to help you live more harmoniously and solve the issues stopping you from having adventures together and enjoying a calm evening at home. Covering issues like loose lead walking, recall, help with reactivity... this isn't one size fits all or a sit and stay boring training package, this is real life training that really gets to the heart of the issues you're having and creates the solutions you need. Sessions can be in person if you are in the Greater Manchester area, or online via zoom if you're further afield.
Getting a new puppy is an exciting time with lots to think about. I offer a variety of options to help with either settling in your puppy, or starting to build your bond and working on the basics to prevent problems before they even start so you can enjoy life with your new puppy to the full. Sessions can be in person if you are in the Greater Manchester area, or online via zoom if you're further afield.
ABOUT LEAD & FOLLOW DOG TRAINING
Welcome!
I'm Janet, and I got involved with dog training when we adopted our foreign rescue, Xena. She was so much more of a challenge than we expected, and I felt alone at times, overwhelmed and out of my depth with the issues she had. But I was determined to be the best owner I could be, and that's how I got into dog training.
After I became a certified dog trainer, I studied an additional canine behaviour certificate, so I would be able to help owners with similar issues to those I had with Xena in the early days. Finally, I became a Mantrailing Instructor in 2023 after seeing how much the sport helped my girl with her reactivity and anxiety.
I'm passionate about helping other dog owners with their own journey, by helping them to build a strong bond with their dog and achieve their training goals through science-based positive reward based methods.
