I consider the motivation behind your dog’s actions in order to help your dog learn new behaviours.
17 years qualified experience
With 17 years qualified experience in the field, I can readily help you with any of your training concerns.
• barking • jumping • pulling on lead • anxiety • fear • aggression • arrival of a baby/dog/puppy • separation anxiety
• coming when called • over-excitement • destructive behaviour • a referral from your vet or veterinary behaviourist, and of course
• basic training!
How to Train a Dog provides personally catered one-on-one behavioural dog training sessions – great for fine tuning your training, the ‘time poor’ or dogs with behavioural concerns. We often work closely with vets and veterinary behaviourists to ensure your dog is receiving the care that they need.
Or maybe you have a new puppy? How to Train a Dog will make it fun and easy, using rewards to train your pup!
And helping with all the joys a puppy brings – toilet training, obedience, coping alone, biting and even puppy class referrals.
Anything puppy! – Even before you bring them home!
