"It's not about having the best behaved dog in the world;
It's about having the best behaved dog for your world."
Training has always been my passion as I just love the feeling of being able to help people and their four-legged friends be able to live their best lives with eachother. The dopamine rush from seeing the transformation in a dog is something I will never tire from! I use PRAMA methods in all my training to help you have the best relationship possible with your dog.
PRAMA stands for Positive Reinforcement and Minimal Aversives. After years of learning, I've discovered that the best way to get your dog to listen to what you want from them is to teach them that their actions have consequences. This is the way that every other species on earth learn.
While I never use any aversives that are abusive or will cause pain to your dog, and first and foremost will use positive reinforcement to reward good choices, we will teach them that bad behaviour will have consequences. I've found that this method of training is the quickest and most effective to create a dog that will listen to you and in turn, create a stronger bond between the pair of you.
Puppy Training
In certain cases where it isn't possible for owners to attend puppy classes, 1-2-1 sessions are the perfect option. This means my soul focus is on you and your pup, helping you to get the most out of your new friend!
Behaviour Modification
Whether your dog is dog or people reactive, has separation anxiety, resource guarding issues or something else that makes your life with them a little more tricky, I can help you find a way to manage their behaviour better.
General Training
Sometimes our dogs are great pets, but could do with improving one or two things! Walking nicely on the lead, stopping jumping up, making that recall lightening fast, are all things that can be reformed with a bit of team work!
