As every other trainer out there, I’m extremely passionate about dogs and this is proven in my work.
My training beliefs and methods don’t fit into the usual “balanced” or “force free” categories. Instead, we look at the individual dog in front of us and prepare a unique, personalised training plan for what works for the individual owner and dog to fit this circumstances.
All methods taught have been used, tested and proven by myself and my personal dog, Tiggy.
I truly believe that if I wouldn’t use a particular method if needed with her, then it doesn’t go into my tool box. This ensures that everything I teach has compassion and welfare in mind and a great deal of attention to the individual dog’s emotion has been taken into account.
In our 6 week puppy class, we give you the tools to get through the puppy stages and provide you and your dog with the best start.
For puppies up to 5 months old
After completion, we recommend you join our beginner Sunday Social sessions and usually 3 months later, our clients complete our foundation programme
In our 4 week foundation programme, we provide you with the tools to go out into the real world and to lay a solid foundation for you to go away and start enjoying your dog.
Your handling skills can be tested in our weekly Sunday Social group class
Once you’ve completed our foundation programme the next step is to put all your new skills into action!
