Basic Training is one of the best things you can do for your dog or puppy and yourself. Training doesn't solve all behaviour issues, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is key to instructing your dog what you want it to do.

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, dig holes in your garden, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behaviour problems are perfectly normal canine activities occuring at the wrong time or place or directed at the wrong thing. A dog might urinate on the carpet instead of outside or might chew furniture instead of its own toys. The solution to preventing or treating behaviour problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its natural behaviour to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.

Basic training is also an easy way to establish a social hierarchy. When your dog carries out a simple request of ‘Sit’ she is showing compliance and respect for you.

I can help with:

• Lead Pulling
• Poor Recall
• Jumping on People and Furniture

• Excessive Attention Seeking
• Digging the Garden
• Excessive Barking

• Running Upstairs
• Playbiting
• Attacking the Postman

• Food Stealing

I will help you improve your training skills with your dog and explain in detail how and why you are having problems and demonstrate to you practically how to take control and train your dog putting you back in control.

The more influence you have over your dog the more freedom your dog can enjoy!
