Leading the way in Dog Training

So it is over 49 years of teaching dogs good manners that I have revelled in. It is the people I train really, explaining why dogs do things and how their minds work.

I also visit dogs at their homes and then it is just one to one training, I love that as I get to handle the dogs showing the techniques I recommend.

Of course some dogs aren't always lucky enough to stay in their puppy homes and perhaps then need a little help to adjust to a new environment this is what I call dilemma training, again I will visit their home.

The classes are the basic building blocks for any doggy activity. Although the SIT is taught it isn't encouraged at the side of the handler, so if breed showing is what you would like to do there is nothing to undo to compete in that hobby. Control is also taught, but if Agility is your fancy then you aren't confusing the dog by asking them to break a stay. very similarly with heelwork to music and flyball.

I also run a Good Citizen Scheme, which is organized by the Kennel Club. I like to encourage this as it is nice to have an aim, and the Bronze, Silver and Gold awards achieve this. At the end you should have a dog you are really proud of and will be a pleasure to take anywhere.
