All dogs are different. It does not matter how your dog thinks, we've got the experience and knowledge to adopt the appropriate training methods suitable for you and perhaps more importantly your dog. Some dogs and their owners are not suited to a training class environment which can be too distracting.
All our dog and puppy training is undertaken at our Centre of Excellence training facility where your dog will have the dog trainer's attention 100% of the time during the sessions. Our dog training is tailored to suit your specific pet training needs.
Your puppy needs the best start you can give him. Incorrect handling or following the wrong advice at this important stage of development and cause serious problems later.
Contact us about your puppy’s training to give them the best foundation possible.
Good Behaviour and Basic Obedience Classes
Everyone wants to have a well behaved dog they can be proud of and it makes dogs more fun to be around. Obedience training also helps your dog to see you as the pack leader. Some commands, like a good recall, may even save your dog's life one day. Some basic commands: sit, down, stay, come, walking to heel.
Puppy training/handling as a foundation for a well balanced dog
Your puppy needs the best start you can give him. Incorrect handling or following the wrong advice at this important stage of development can cause serious problems later.
Problem Dogs/Remedial Training
Many dog owners are referred to us having already attended training classes only to find them unsuccessful due to a number of reasons. Many dominant or aggressive dogs can be made much worse by attending training classes and corrective training may be needed.
Problem Solving
Most of these behaviours are easy to fix with clear guidance and understanding. Some of the most common dog problems are: Barking, Begging, Jumping Up, Chewing, Digging, Mouthing, Licking, Biting, Separation Anxiety, Generally Destructiveness.
These habits are annoying, but they can mean your dog is stressed or anxious and it is their way of dealing with it.
Home Visits
It can be beneficial for a professional dog behaviourist to visit your home to see the type of environment your dog is living in. Home visits can give some clues to why any behavioural problems are occuring and can also see first hand your relationship with your pet . You may be inadvertantly teaching your dog bad behavour without realising it or not providing the correct environment for your particular dog. All dogs are different, trying to discover the root cause of any issues requires help from experienced people.
Scent work and Search training
This type of training is beneficial for dogs whatever their breed or age and can be fun and rewarding for the owner too. It provides your dog mental stimulation, which in turn will prevent boredom which sometimes leads to bad behaviour.
Reactivity Training
By using positive reinforcement, we will advise you how to manage your dog's environment to avoid any triggers that create unwanted reactions. The aim is to change your dog's emotional response, rather than feeling fear or frustration we will use strategies to make them will feel calm and safe.
