Beginners pet training for cats and dogs (or other animals on request)

From 26 £ /h

Wether a cat, dog, bird or hamster, all pets deserve to learn basic communication with their human friends. This class is solely to teach the basic tricks and obedience as well as gaining insight on your pet. We can start by teaching recall and enforcing the use of their name. This will progress to sit, down, up, wait, leave it, high five, turn around, heel, etc.

I can also provide tips to avoid unwanted situations for first time pet owners as well as some insight into the body language and how to understand your pet. We can discuss odd or bad behaviour and how to work around it as well as socialization and handling.

I am experienced with cats and dogs mainly but can offer some classes for rabbits, birds and rodents.

The class will mainly be a consultation and planning as well as guidance on how to train your pet where I will check up on progress and provide tips.

Training is a long and ongoing process therefore owners should be patient with their pets and willing to learn. Understanding your pet and feeling compassionate towards them is the first step forward.

I dont charge high rates because I believe training is a necessity for pet owners.

About Me

Hi!
My name is Khusi and I am a British a level student in year 13. I am currently studying biology, chemistry and economics for my A levels.

During GCSE, my strongest core subjects were Biology, English, chemistry and maths. My strongest optional subjects were classical Civilisations (grade 8), engineering (grade 7) and religious studies (grade 8). I also passed my 11+ in 2015 and went to an all girl's grammar school.

I am familiar with the GCSE mark scheme and can provide students with an insight on how to approach questions as well as what the examiners look for.
I like to push my students and encourage them as I believe positive reinforcement is the best teaching method. Understanding a student's wellbeing and mental health is also very important so students should not be overworked. This is why I will pace my sessions so that students will engage and enjoy the sessions rather than let it drag out and bore them.

I also believe that a little competition goes a long way and can boost a student's confidence, therefore, I dont mind group tutoring for students with a similar range of ability.

I am an approachable person and enjoy communicating, therefore I feel that students will feel comfortable and will not be intimidated around me. Hopefully, this will encourage them to ask more questions and seek my help when they need it.

My hobbies are reading, drawing, writing and playing sports. I play badminton and table tennis for leisure. I enjoy immersing myself in different cultures and watch a wide variety of shows in different languages. I also own a cat who is fully my responsibility. During my free time, I enjoy teaching him tricks. He is very food motivated and behaves similarly to a dog in terms of affection and obedience due to my consistency in training and handling. He doesnt bite nor scratch people so the hard work is paying off.

11+ (ages 7-11) and GCSE tutoring (ages 11-16) online sessions UK

15 £ /h

11+ sessions will consist of VR, NVR, maths and English practice including tips on how to approach questions and how to save time. Students will be asked to complete past papers and topics will be covered depending on the individual's weakest subjects.

GCSE sessions will consist of chosen subject content according to the exam board specification, and will be completed according to the student's learning pace. Areas of difficulty will be covered upon request.

Homework is an optional addition which will be assessed for both 11+ and GCSE students but incomplete work will be expected to be completed by the next session.

Common rules will be implemented during the session such as; keeping phones on silent, no use of inappropriate language or slang and cameras will remain on whenever possible to ensure that the student is working.

I can do 1:1 tutoring or group tutoring but for group tutoring per student request. Sessions can be refunded fully if I am notified of absence 24 hours prior but after that, the fee will be refunded 50%. For the first lesson, I will need the student to perform an online assesment in their own time and bring material that they need help with as I will have no information on their strengths or weaknesses. The assessment can be sent through apprentus or email.

Basic Dog Tricks

This class is all about the dogs! Ever wonder what your dog is thinking about? Do you wish they would stop jumping on you? Maybe you want them to stop stealing your sandwich when you’re eating. Well then this class is for you.

We will be breaking down what motivates dogs and how we can change it. Students will learn with use of PowerPoint and demonstration. By the end of this class you will know how to make your dog sit, shake, and lay down!

You will learn the basics for every pet. This is important for the general well-being of your pet(s). Have you ever had the following questions?

How do you recognize discomfort? Pain or hunger? When should you go to the vet and when can you fix it yourself? How do you know that your pet is getting optimal nutrition? How do you know when your pet is satisfied, happy or lonely? Why is my pet exhibiting this strange behavior? When do I need an animal trainer, nutritionist or wellness coach? Is it my body style?

With these lessons I would like to help you become confident with your pet choices. Would you like more detailed information or do you have a very specific question?
No problem, contact us and we will work together to find a solution that works for you and your pet!

If you’ve ever wondered why your cat acts a certain way, or how to help them feel happier, safer, and more balanced at home, this class is for you. I focus on practical, compassionate guidance tailored to your cat’s unique personality and needs. During our session, you’ll learn interesting things about feline behavior (based on your goals): how to improve daily care, understand feline body language, prevent or reduce unwanted behaviors, and create a more peaceful environment for both you and your cat. Whether you’re struggling with a specific issue or simply want to deepen your bond, I’ll help you see your feline friend in a whole new light.

Although this class is listed under “pet trainer,” my approach is a little different. I don’t train cats in the traditional sense, I help YOU understand THEM. Think of me as a feline behavior translator: someone who explains your cat’s body language, emotional needs, and home environment so you can take better care of them and prevent common behavior issues.

I also combine this with gentle life-coaching principles for the owner. When you’re busy, stressed, or unsure how to handle your cat’s needs, it affects both of you. My goal is to support you and your cat together. Helping you create a calmer, more organized routine while improving your cat’s comfort, confidence, and happiness at home. Whether you want behavior insight, better daily care practices, or guidance to feel more grounded as a cat guardian, I’m here to help both sides of the relationship thrive.
