I’m so pleased to have received this email today! ☺️🐾
A huge thank you to everyone who supports my small business Competent Canines, and has taken the time to leave a recommendation. Your support genuinely means so much to me. 🫶
The dog-training industry is continually under scrutiny, with many different training methods being advised.
I will always stand firmly by positive-reinforcement training. I believe it is the kindest, fairest and most effective way to train. A dog’s welfare should always be protected & supporting a dog’s emotional wellbeing should always be prioritised.
Coercive, harsh, punitive dog training methods is unkind and unfair because it uses fear, pain or intimidation to force compliance, damaging a dog’s trust, emotional wellbeing and sense of safety.
I’m incredibly proud to offer a service that dog owners find valuable and beneficial. Please rest assured that I’m committed to continually developing my professional knowledge and skills, keeping up to date with the latest evidence-based, kind and fair training methods.
My aim is to make training an enjoyable and rewarding experience for both dogs and their owners. There’s nothing better than seeing owners having fun with their dogs, watching their confidence grow, and helping them build a strong, trusting bond through enjoyment & not fear.
Thank you again for being part of my journey. Your support really does make a difference.
Emma ❤️🐶
