Tailored Training for Every Dog
Over the years I have tried many different methods and techniques when working with dogs, both as a dog trainer, and a dog behaviourist, and I can confidently say, that something which may work for one dog will not necessarily work with another.
For example, you would not use the same techniques to teach a dog heelwork to music that you would use to train a dog to take down an armed robber. There is such a vast selection of methods available it is no surprise that dog owners are left feeling somewhat overwhelmed as to what they should be doing.
Personally, I have found that the most effective way to assist a dog in rehabilitation is to help them to teach themselves. The vast majority of unwanted behaviours have been brought about either as a result of environmental influence or an unintentional lack of understanding and knowledge from the owner.
Owners do not intentionally teach separation anxiety, reactive behaviour, or resource guarding, but yet these problems are at an all time high.
Understanding & Reversing Behaviours
My aim is to show and explain to owners why these behaviours have started and then help to reverse them. In return, the dog then starts to rehabilitate itself simply because the way they are being treated and understood each day has changed.
I am in no way an advocate of harsh methods, I do not use e-collars, prong collars, shouting, beating and so on. Control by way of fear is not something I would promote on any level. Your dog should act as you want, not because it has to but because it wants to. It is however important to realise that strictly following either completely positive or negative reinforcement is unrealistic as nature simply does not work that way. Being able to understand how to combine both in such a way as not to be detrimental to an animal is by far more effective.
My sessions are carried out in your own home with yourself and your pet and are very much hands on. After identifying the root cause of the problem and then showing you myself how this can be prevented and reversed. I will put YOU in control so that by the time I leave you are happy and confident in what needs to be done to return your pet to a more balanced and happy life.
