Frequently Asked Questions About Planet Dog

Does Planet Dog in Brighton offer one-to-one dog training sessions?

Yes, Planet Dog specialises in one-to-one training sessions matched to your dog's specific needs. Georgina works directly with both dog and owner, either in your home or out on walks, covering everything from puppy recall and loose lead walking to settling and reactivity. Owners of nervous rescues, lively puppies, and dogs with challenging behaviours consistently report excellent progress. Each session is followed by detailed notes and links, helping you continue training between visits, something many owners tell us makes a real difference in building confidence and staying on track.

Is Planet Dog suitable for rescue dogs with anxiety or behavioural challenges?

Absolutely. Owners of nervous and rescue dogs, including those from overseas rescues, regularly work with Planet Dog in Brighton and report significant improvement. Georgina takes time to understand underlying issues and personality traits rather than offering generic advice. She's helped dogs struggling with separation anxiety, reactivity, and confidence in public spaces. Many owners describe how her calm, supportive approach has been transformative, giving both dog and owner the tools needed for a happier, more confident life together.

What kind of support does Planet Dog provide for new puppy owners in Brighton?

Planet Dog offers thorough puppy training support in Brighton, covering everything from the basics, recall, use fitting, settling, to managing common challenges like jumping, mouthing, and over-excitement. New puppy owners consistently tell us that Georgina's structured, patient approach has been invaluable during the overwhelming early months. She provides clear exercises, practical tips you can implement immediately, and regular follow-up to keep you on track. Many describe her as a 'lifesaver' when navigating the demands of raising a confident, well-behaved puppy.

Does Planet Dog offer Dynamic Dog Assessments for dogs with suspected pain or mobility issues?

Yes. Planet Dog provides thorough Dynamic Dog Assessments, which have proven particularly valuable for dogs with persistent behavioural concerns that may stem from underlying pain. The process involves detailed data gathering, consultation on your dog's history and daily life, and analysis of photos and video showing movement, gait, and posture. Georgina then produces a thorough report highlighting areas of concern and can liaise directly with your vet, sharing supporting evidence. Owners in Brighton have discovered previously undiagnosed joint and mobility issues through this service, leading to effective treatment and noticeable improvements in confidence and behaviour.

How does Planet Dog's training approach differ from other dog trainers in Brighton?

Owners who've worked with other trainers before Planet Dog consistently highlight Georgina's focus on understanding the root cause of behaviour rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. She spends time getting to know both dog and owner, tailoring her methods to your specific challenges and lifestyle. The detailed follow-up notes after every session, regular check-ins, and ongoing encouragement between visits are features many say they haven't experienced elsewhere. Her calm, positive manner helps both nervous dogs and anxious owners build confidence, making training feel productive and genuinely supportive rather than prescriptive.
