My Method
I trained in 2012, learning about how dogs live in the wild and what makes them calm and content. I have adapted this to the human pack so we can live in peace with dogs. Its a compromise of learning a little bit dog and allowing them time to trust and understand humans. I knew straight away I had a natural understanding for how dogs work and what they need. I adapt my training to suit the pack and their needs and we work for 3 months together, so you wont be alone. I can show you how to confidently and effectively communicate with and handle your dog, helping it to find a role and purpose within the home. We will learn how to read your dog when it needs your help and guidance. Every dog moves in a unique way so owners get my support in learning what their dog likes and dislikes gaining confidence in how to best support and reassure the dog when needed. This training reduces any confusion and stress on dogs and their owners and encourages a happy and harmonious relationships between dog, owner and their families!
I have trained thousands of dogs from 8 weeks to 18 years old, those that live in flat or large estates, those with big families and those with one owner. I dont believe that "old dogs can't learn new tricks!" I believe that we need to enjoy having a dog in our pack, they should not become a frustration or a burden. We have them for years in our lives so we need to manage their expectations. They cannot get walked every day for their whole life due to illness, weather conditions or holidays. Lets learn what to do instead of just running them endlessly on a walk and hoping that will tire them out. It just makes them fitter and stronger, so harder to tire! I dont need to go to the gym every day to sleep all night. A tough day in the office will allow me to sleep too. Your dog does not need to work physically alone, lets use their brains too.
If you want my help, then book in a consultation which can last up to 3 hours. I come into your home and work through training to help you and your dog. Using positive reinforcement with NO gadgets, consistency and visual techniques instead of just shouting No, Stop and Down, I guarantee you will see results soon with your dog. Every dog wants to learn but the human pack can be hard to settle into with all the noises, separation and daily changes we have. Lets allow dogs to learn, to grow, to sleep, to be praised for all the good bits and ask questions that we can answer for them. They dont need to protect, follow, worry about us. Lets show them what we want from them instead of just correct them when they get it wrong.......
