The Training Programme – Lifestyle-Based Dog Training in Burton-on-Trent

The Lola’s House Training Programme is a tailored, lifestyle-based approach focused on creating real, lasting change — not quick fixes.


We work closely with each dog and owner to build better habits, improve communication, and create calm, confident, happy dogs.

Spaces are limited to ensure personalised support.

Why Most Dog Training Doesn’t Work

Most dog training focuses on quick fixes — tools, techniques, or commands that appear to solve a problem in the moment, but don’t hold up in everyday life.

Behaviour isn’t the problem — it’s the result. It’s shaped by your dog’s routine, environment, and daily experiences.

If those don’t change, the behaviour won’t either.

How The Training Programme Works

We don’t just train behaviours — we change the lifestyle that creates them.

Every programme is tailored to your dog, your routine, and the challenges you’re facing — focusing on the underlying factors that drive behaviour, not just the symptoms.

That’s how we create reliable behaviour that actually lasts.

Discovery training sessions for training programme clients at Lola's House

Discovery

We start with a 70-minute session focused entirely on understanding your dog — not just the behaviour, but everything behind it.

We look at their daily routine, environment, past experiences, and the patterns shaping what you’re seeing.

From this, we create a clear, tailored plan — outlining exactly what needs to change, and how we’ll move forward together.

Tailored one-to-one dog training sessions for training programme clients at Lola’s House

Sessions

Each 70-minute session has a clear goal, working through your dog’s behaviour step-by-step in real-life situations.

You’ll be shown exactly what to do, how to do it, and why it works — with practical guidance you can continue between sessions.


All training takes place in your dog’s normal environment — where behaviour actually happens day to day.

Dog training support for owners on the training programme at Lola’s House

Support

Support continues between sessions, so you’re never left guessing.

You’ll have access to guidance via WhatsApp, phone, or email — along with session feedback and resources to keep things consistent.


This means you can stay on track, ask questions as they come up, and make progress faster between sessions.

Our Training Programme Price

From 1st January 2026

In Person Session

£70

Remote Session

All sessions are 70 minutes, giving you time to work through things properly.

Most dogs require 3–6 sessions to create lasting change, depending on their needs and goals. You’ll be guided on exactly what’s needed after your first session.

What Makes Lola's House Different

Most dog training happens in isolation — a session here and there, with little change to your dog’s day-to-day life.

At Lola’s House, we take a different approach.

We look at the full picture — your dog’s routine, environment, and daily habits — and work with you to build a structured plan that fits into real life, not just training sessions.


This isn’t about quick fixes or one-off sessions. It’s about creating lasting change through structure, clarity, and consistency.

"...Time, patience, and understanding — those qualities are in abundance at Lola’s House..."

Part Of A Tailored Approach

Agility Sessions

In some cases, structured enrichment like agility plays a valuable role in your dog’s development.

Used correctly, it builds focus, improves engagement, and channels energy in a controlled way.

It’s not something every dog needs — but when it fits, it becomes part of the tailored plan built around your dog and your routine.
