Behavioural issues
Concept training
I provide training for every day behaviour issues. As well as behaviours, I incorporate concept training which strengthens specific areas your dogs personality. Concept training teaches your dog a wide array of life skills or ‘building blocks’ that builds your dogs confidence, resilience and decision making ability. They then apply these skills in different and unfamiliar situations, making better choices by themselves. I am a force free, positive reinforcement trainer. Training is never ‘cookie cutter’, IMDT accredited trainers always assess and train the dog in front of them. What might work for you, may not work for a friend that is experiencing a similar problem, there are so many factors to consider including breed, history and environment.
Puppy consults

Prior to puppy’s arrival
Are you ready for your puppy’s arrival? Have you thought of everything? I can help you get your home ready, talk to you about your puppy’s basic needs, assess your house set up, recommend equipment, provide advice about how to manage that first week and beyond, educate the family about do’s and don’ts and prepare you for issues to look out for and their solutions.
After puppy’s arrival
Once your puppy arrives, it can be a whirlwind! You might be wondering if you are doing the right thing, you might be having some initial struggles, you might be unsure about socialisation and what that actually is (it is not socialising with other dogs!). I provide you information, solutions, games to play and basic training (behaviour and concept training) to help you start building your relationship and bond with your newest family member
