Behaviour & Training

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Dogs are our closest companions, but despite inviting them into our homes, many of us struggle to understand their behaviour, applying human concepts to explain why they behave in certain ways. Dogs, on the other hand are far better at reading us and are unique amongst other species in their ability to comprehend our facial expressions, body language and complex communicative gestures. I believe we need to take the time to learn about the world from their perspective, in order to give them what they need to enjoy a full and happy life.

If you would like help understanding and addressing behavioural problems or with obedience and training, I can support you every step of the way. I offer non-judgemental advice, employing techniques based on sound scientific research, putting the welfare of the dog always at the forefront.

What Will be Involved?

Depending on the behavioural problem, it may be necessary to seek advice from a qualified vet to exclude any underlying medical condition. This may be something that I advise.
