Watsons Dog Training

Watsons Dog Training At Watson's Dog training we work with reward-based dog training. We teach you how to communicate/han e.g. Please contact us for more details.

If you have some undesirable behaviours that you would like to change? Your dog takes other dogs balls/toys; counter surfing; excessive barking; sock stealing; gets over-excited with other dogs or humans; won't recall when over-excited; won't lessen when over-excited; aggressive or nervus aggressive with other dogs or you would just like to improve your dogs' general behaviour. We use reward-based

training with positive reinforcement is a proven method and is so much more effective over a short period. Dogs have a one-track mind, so if they are watching you, a toy or a treat, they will not be looking at the other dog or stimulus coming towards them. Talk to us about what you want to achieve:

Private training sessions: It is highly recommended to see your dog in its natural environment, at home in their kingdom. You explain the issues, I demonstrate a list of exercise that you will practise of the next 7 days, then I visit again, discuss the result and give you further exercise that you will practise for the next 7 days. This is normally only repeated 3 to 4 time, depending on the behaviour. Some of the sessions are carried out at our place as we use our dog as a distraction. Boot camp, two days of intensive training, we work on a limited number of traits at regular intervals during the day, (optional) your dog can board with us overnight, subject to availability? On collecting your dog, I will give a list of exercise that I have put in place and you will need to continue practising for the next 10 days, to ensure the training is effective and successful. Your dog will be tired from all of the mental stimulation and they will normally flop when you get home.

The three most important "mantras" or guiding principles for successful dog training, widely emphasized by professionals, are:
Consistency is key
Use positive reinforcement
Patience is a virtue
1. Consistency is Key
For a dog to understand what is expected, the rules, cues, and consequences for a behavior must be consistent across all situations and all household members. Inconsistency confuses dogs and can lead to frustration and behavioral issues. For example, if one person allows a dog on the couch but another doesn't, the dog won't understand the boundary.
2. Use Positive Reinforcement
Positive reinforcement involves rewarding a dog with something it values (treats, praise, toys, or play) immediately after it performs a desired behavior. This approach increases the likelihood of the behavior happening again and builds a strong, trusting bond between the dog and owner, rather than one based on fear.
3. Patience is a Virtue
Every dog is unique and learns at its own pace. Training takes time, and expecting too much too soon can lead to frustration for both the owner and the dog. Being patient, keeping sessions short and positive, and celebrating small victories are essential for gradual and successful progress.
