The Initial Consultation is a preliminary collection of information through: ​ filling an online questionnaire; sending us one or more video of your dog; attending a live online meeting with us on the day and at the time that best suit you, where we speak face to face and your provide us more information. Following this consultation, we present you by email what we think is the best recommendation according to yours and your dog's needs and objectives. Then, the Course we offer you can then be started or rejected according to your wishes.

The Initial Consultation is £25.00.

The Educational Course is a live online course, which means you can attend it from where you are as long as you have a computer, laptop or smartphone to connect to the Internet.

The Educational Course is a dog training course that aims to provide you all the essential knowledge and expertise to establish a good and satisfying relationship with your dog. It is The Graeme Sims Method ® practically applied to you and your dog. It is a course that makes you develop the ability to communicate with your dog in an effective way as well as improve your dog's responsiveness and satisfaction.

The Educational Course, like all our courses, takes place in a very innovative way, where everything relies on modern and common technological communication, which is known and used by almost everybody nowadays. We have a Virtual Classroom where you and us regularly meet in audio-video meetings, that allow to speak and see each other wherever you are. ​ Let's explain better. ​ All our courses are based on very important and essential elements: ​ ONLINE MEETINGS - they are video-audio meetings run through Google Meet, where you and us meet twice a month (or more if needed). They allow a face-to-face course experience, giving the opportunity to enjoy a friendly and human environment. Why two meetings a month? Because the first one is to present you what we are going to do in the month ahead and the second, instead, is useful to take stock of your situation and see if it's necessary to help you more. VIDEOS, those we send to you to show "how to do" and those you send to us to show "how you do". The latter ones are paramount, because they allow us to observe your performance in a very objective and constructive way and to help you and your dog in the best possible and tailor made way. WRITTEN CHAPTERS to explain in words our Method, our philosophy and what you are going to work on in the month ahead. CONSTANT COMMUNICATION AND INTERACTION between you and us through the messaging app Signal, e-mail, website and social networks.

You can enrol in the Educational Course if the Initial Consultation suggested so. No previous knowledge or experience is required. ​ Please Note: according to the information you provide us during the Initial Consutlation about you and your dog, we might suggest you to attend a different course from the one you are interested in. This could happen when we could see a better solution for your particular situation.

Yes, of course you can! We accept people from anywhere in the world as long as it doesn't become too complicated in terms of time zone.

Any dog in good health, both puppies and adult dogs.

All our courses are structured and studied by considering and analysing the brace human-dog. We put our effort in studying and helping the brace itself. Each dog requires proper time, study and work both for you and for us. For this reason, every extra dog more than one counts like a student more for us, which means a course more (and so a cost more) for you. So, if the Initial Consultation suggests the Educational Course for all your dogs, it's up to you to consider your availability and decide what is best for you.

The Educational Course cost is: £640.00 if you pay the full course upon enrolment; £84.00/month if you decide to pay in 10 monthly instalments for a total course cost of £840.00. ​ If you live outside the U.K., you should consider the convenience of paying all at once in order to save the cost of exchange rate between your currency and ours, which is applied on each payment you make.

The available payment methods are PayPal and credit cards.

After having attended the Initial Consultation, you can start the Educational Course when you like. We will decide the date together after you have enrolled.
