Dogs and Don'ts Training is all about maximising the positive and minimising the negative.
Dogs are man's best friend and should be an asset to any household. I started Dog's and Don'ts to help educate owners and help dogs.
I hope I can show you how easy it is to have a well balanced and obedient dog with a little bit of effort and patience. All dogs, big or small, should know a few basic commands. They should also be able to be taken into new situations and happily meet new people and dogs. A happy dog equals a happy owner.
I believe in positive training as the best method to achieve a healthy communication between owner and dog. A young puppy responds best to praise and treats rather then being bullied into the right behaviour. Training should be fun for both dog and owner. This does not mean I never use corrective techniques but rather that we focus on reward stimulation for behaviour and only use correction when absolutely necessary. Its important to never create a fearful, scared puppy or dog as this may lead to defensive aggression.
Remember a dog does not know how to speak human language we have to teach them what we mean through consistent and positive experiences. Each dog is motivated by different stimuli: some are food driven, some have a high toy drive and some are praise driven. Some are a mixture of two or three making them very easy to train. During training we will figure out what drives your dog the most.
I train in the following areas: Socialisation, basic obedience, intermediate obedience, basic agility and tricks.
Please feel free to contact me to help you turn your dog into the asset you always wanted and create a unique bond between you and your dog.
