Do any of these sound familiar? jumping-up to greet guests
pulling on the lead
excessive barking
house-training issues
lack of recall
separation anxiety
fear or phobia
resource guarding
We all want to have a positive, rewarding relationship between ourselves and our dogs, but sometimes ‘problems and issues’ get in the way. The difficult part is realising the cause of th
e ‘problems and issues’ that are getting in the way, because you can’t cure the ‘problem or issue’ without first curing the cause. That is where I come in, changing unwanted behaviours and creating happy, harmonious households. I will visit you and your dog in your home environment and talk through all the ‘problems and issues’ you would like to improve. These could be anything from basic training issues, such as jumping-up to greet guests, pulling on the lead, barking, house-training or recall, to more serious problems such as separation anxiety, fear or phobia, resource guarding, or other challenging behaviour. After the initial consultation I will be able to offer a series of sessions, which if booked as a block offer discount. During the initial consultation I will discuss such factors as the dogs diet, exercise regime, rescue or purchase history, medical history, daily routine, breed traits, training situation and surrounding factors. Puppy Training
It is importNell on contactant to recognise that first impressions can have a lasting effect on your puppy. We have a very limited time to make these good first impressions so need to start our training early and carefully in order to get it right from the outset. After an hour long 1 to 1 home visit for puppy training consultation, I will provide you with a written plan of action to help you train and condition your puppy behaviour developing their problem-solving abilities, mental agility and mental coordination. Clicker training
Basically everything that you want to train can be trained using the clicker method, often achieving much faster results. It also helps your dog to become a thinker and solve problems for itself using a training method called shaping. It is a great method for all ages from puppy to the older dog. I offer 1 to 1 training in the use of the Clicker. After an hour long 1 to 1 home visit for training consultation, I will provide you with a written plan of action to help you train and condition your use of the clicker to develop behaviour and problem-solving abilities, mental agility and mental coordination. Agility training
It is very important, before you start any agility training to first have good Agility Foundation Skills. This helps prevent injury by gradually developing your dogs skills which will be used to negotiate the equipment. I offer 1 to 1 Agility Foundation Training for all ages from puppy to the older dog. During these sessions some of the many skills you will cover are:-
