Dog Training for High-Energy Dogs
Channel the Chaos into Confidence and Control
Is your dog full of beans and always on the go? Do they leap before they look, react before they think, or struggle to settle after excitement? You’re not alone – and your dog’s energy isn’t a flaw. It’s instinct. High-energy dogs are often driven by strong natural traits – to chase, herd, search, or explore – and those instincts just need direction and purpose.
I offer dog training classes designed specifically for high-energy dogs. My goal isn’t just to tire them out – it’s to teach them how to manage that energy, make better choices, and build emotional resilience. By giving them meaningful outlets for their natural drives, we prevent frustration-based behaviours and help them develop calm confidence. Because a well-regulated dog is a happy, fulfilled dog.
In every class, I help high-energy dogs learn how to:
- Slow down and listen – even when excited
- Wait their turn and stay grounded
- Switch off after high arousal
- Work with their person, not just bounce around them
- Build frustration tolerance and focus
Your dog doesn’t need to be calmer to start training… they’ll become calmer because of it.
Real-Life Results
You’ll start to notice:
- Better focus on walks
- More patience when waiting (for food, the door, the lead…)
- Easier transitions from play to calm
- Stronger communication between you and your dog
- A deeper sense of trust and teamwork
And most importantly? A dog who learns that calm feels good. You’ll see instinct turn from chaos into connection – where your dog chooses to work with you, not against you
Your High-Energy Dog Deserves More Than Just “Tiring Out”
They deserve training that honours who they are. When we channel their instincts into purposeful outlets, we replace over-arousal with focus, frustration with problem-solving, and chaos with communication.
Training becomes a shared journey – one built on teamwork, agency, and fun. Together, we teach your dog how to think, not just react; how to express their energy with confidence, not chaos. The result? Lifelong skills and a bond based on mutual understanding and joy.
Dog Parkour for High-Energy Dogs
High-energy dogs often get labelled as “too much” – but they’re not. They’re just bursting with enthusiasm, curiosity, and drive… they just haven’t learned what to do with all that yet.
Dog parkour taps directly into a dog’s natural instincts to climb, balance, explore, and move with purpose. It’s not just physical – it’s mental. I specialise in helping energetic dogs build focus, self-regulation, and emotional balance through engaging, instinct-based activities. My structured parkour classes and workshops give these dogs the outlet they crave, while also helping them develop patience, problem-solving skills, and the ability to settle.
What Makes These Classes Different?
My training classes for high-energy dogs focus on regulation first, obedience second. That means I don’t just teach set exercises – I teach emotional skills:
- Impulse control: Learning to pause before acting
- Frustration tolerance: Building patience and persistence
- Self-settling: Knowing how to recover from excitement
- Engagement: Learning that calm focus = big rewards
- Consistency: Repetition in a structured environment
Each session builds on your dog’s natural abilities, giving their instincts a safe outlet while developing teamwork and trust.
I help dogs go from chaotic energy to confident, thoughtful movement – without ever asking them to be “less” of who they are.
Barn Hunt for High-Energy Dogs
Scentwork and barn-style search games are a natural fit for high-energy dogs – they’re fast, fun, and deeply satisfying. These activities let dogs use one of their most powerful instincts: the drive to hunt and search. But they also require focus, problem-solving, and emotional balance. It’s not just about speed – it’s about learning when to go and when to pause.
In every class, we work on:
- Impulse control (waiting their turn, staying settled)
- Emotional regulation (excitement → focus)
- Confidence through problem-solving
- Physical outlets paired with calm recovery periods
- Teamwork and communication between you and your dog
1-2-1 and Online Training
Every high-energy dog is different and sometimes a more customised training plan is needed. My bespoke 1-2-1 sessions are tailored to your dog’s instincts, energy, and emotional needs. Whether you’re dealing with over-excitement, focus issues, or just need ideas to keep your energetic dog happily engaged, my private training sessions give you targeted strategies that actually work in real life.
Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your lifestyle and your dog’s natural drives — using agency, teamwork, and enrichment to replace reactivity with responsiveness. Private sessions mean more flexibility, more understanding, and faster progress.
Are you ready to turn chaos into connection? Let’s team up with a plan to bring out your dog’s best – and build the confident, cooperative partnership you’ve both been looking for.
Turn Chaos into Connection
Your high-energy dog doesn’t need to change who they are — they just need the right outlet for their instincts. With the right balance of structure, communication, and play, that energy becomes confidence, focus, and joy.
Let’s work together to transform your dog’s natural drive into calm cooperation and lasting partnership.
