Yarm is one of Teesside's most picturesque towns, and its riverside setting — the horseshoe bend of the River Tees — makes for genuinely beautiful dog walks. The river path, the open green near the High Street and the footpaths heading toward Eaglescliffe and Kirklevington give you some of the best off-lead potential in the area. But getting to the point where you can actually let your dog off the lead in those environments, and trust them to come back, takes proper foundation work — and that is exactly what Damian builds.

Damian is based in Middlesbrough TS4, roughly 20 minutes from Yarm, and comes to you for sessions. Early sessions for puppies and dogs working on new skills tend to start at home or on quieter streets nearby. As reliability builds, sessions move into the riverside environment and open fields where you actually want to walk. Recall is the most-requested skill for Yarm owners — the open space makes it a natural goal, and Damian approaches it systematically.

Lead walking is also a very common issue in Yarm — particularly with larger dogs being walked by smaller owners on busy stretches near the town. Damian works on loose lead walking as part of nearly every behaviour session. Puppy training is popular too, with sessions covering the foundations that make those riverside walks possible: recall, lead manners, calm settling and focus around distractions. Online training is available UK-wide for owners who prefer to work from home.

Frequently asked questions — Yarm

Yes. Damian is based in Middlesbrough TS4, about 20 minutes from Yarm, and comes to you for one-to-one sessions. The session location — your home, a local field or the riverside area — is agreed when you enquire. Call or WhatsApp 07908 857187.

Yes. Open-space recall by the River Tees is a realistic, achievable goal — but it needs to be built in stages. Damian starts with reliable recall at home, then in the garden, then on quieter outdoor paths, before progressing to more open riverside environments. The progression is deliberate and it works.

Yes. One-to-one puppy training is available across the Yarm area for puppies from 8 weeks upwards. Sessions cover settling at home, toilet training, biting, recall foundations and early lead walking. Enquire with your puppy's age and what you would like to focus on.

It depends on the dog, their age, and how consistently you practise between sessions. Most owners see significant improvement in two to four sessions with regular home practice. Damian is honest at every stage about progress and what to work on next.
