Dog Training
The safest way to predict your dog’s future behaviour is to create it!
The majority of owners struggle for a significant length of time with their dog’s behaviour before they call for help. In most cases, they identify a problem when their dog is a puppy yet it is only when their dog becomes older and more boisterous they seek assistance from a professional dog trainer or dog behaviourist. The best way, by far, to put your dog’s behaviour on the right path, is to nip the problems in the bud.
We all have too much to do and not enough time. Puppy training and dog training, like everything else, requires patience and time. This deters many from attending ongoing dog training classes however, there are alternatives.
One to One Training – Tailored to your specific needs
We accept that humans have different personality traits, temperament, drive, attention span and goals. Dogs have these same differences in addition to their breed traits, strengths and weaknesses. It is important for all these factors to be taken into account when dog training.
The benefits
One to one training will help you to achieve a better understanding of your dog. By concentrating on the specific training techniques which work best with your dog, you will achieve effective, faster results. The rewards for both dog and owner are often immeasurable.
One to one training is predominantly conducted in your own home where your dog’s normal behaviour is more likely to present itself.
Cost Effective..... One to one training is frequently cheaper, saving on the cost of ongoing group dog training classes. Often the cause of a behaviour problem lies at home and does not present itself during training in a group or in an environment such as a village hall. By observing your dog at home we are able to identify factors which are causing, increasing or maintaining the unwanted behaviour. Identifying these factors at an early stage can save a significant amount of money and weeks of ineffective training.
