All dogs are individuals. They’re all different, with different needs. Some needs are genetically specific and some are specific to the dog themselves. Before I meet you you’ll fill out a brief form to give me some information about your dog, lifestyle, issues you’re experiencing and training expectations. Our first session together will consist of a fair amount of information gathering, so that I can write a tailored training plan. I’ll recommend management and some foundational skills to start you on your training journey.

All cases are different and some issues can be resolved quicker than others. I don’t offer quick fixes for behavioural issues and I seldom see clients for one off private sessions.

Behaviour modification is changing your dogs problem behaviour to behaviours that are more manageable to you. Developing new habits and skills can be a lengthy process.

Quick fixes in dog training can look good in the short terms and look like they have worked to eliminate problem behaviour. However they often rely on pain and intimidation to work, which results in behaviour suppression. It won’t change the underlying cause for the behaviour, seldom has long lasting affects and always comes with fallout.
