Owning a dog can be challenging. Maybe the training didn’t quite go how you expected it to, or a few unexpected behaviours have developed.
You spend hours online trying to find a solution and trying different methods, you desperately want to understand your dog a little more but it’s stressful, and you feel like you’re the only one in the world that’s struggling.
​
That was me when I brought my rescue dog home. I became a dog trainer because I wanted to first fully understand my dog, and I wanted to help others do the same.
Training doesn’t need to be stressful; it can be enlightening for both you and your dog, but there are a few important things we need to remember:
​
It needs to be personal Whilst we’ll always follow set foundations, ultimately your training plan will be tailored. No two dogs are the same, so we need to work at their pace and adapt to their needs
It works both ways! It’s not just the dog who’s learning, there are lots for the humans to learn too. I’ll help you understand more around how your dog thinks, which will further explain some of those troubling behaviours
​
It needs to be fun! No one learns anything when they’re stressed, and the same goes for your dog. All of your training will be centred around playing games that are fun for both of you; it’s not just a nicer environment, but it truly strengthens your bond as well.
