Dog Training & Obedience Services

Training Dogs is a wonderful way to further develop the bond between humans and dogs. A trained dog is a content, balanced and happy dog. From the Doberman to the Border Collie, from toy dogs to giant dogs, all dogs offer the same basic level of understanding and ability to learn and this is something which any dog would appreciate you taking advantage of.

How do we train your dog?

The aim of dog training is to control the actions of the dog through the medium of the canine mind. It is the mind of the dog which we are training. This method is often called psychological dog training.
Dog training must be adapted to each dogs particular character and disposition: one dog is shy, another bold; one is sensitive, another insensitive; one responsive, another self-centred etc. Dogs vary in temperament just as much as people do, no two dogs are alike.
It is essential therefore that the dog trainer sees things from the dogs point of view and plans his/her dog training course bearing these factors in mind. After initial observation we are able to tailor a dog training course to suit your dogs particular characteristics.

This is the key to the success of our dog training course.

Can you see things from your dogs point of view?

Probably the most common error that dog owners commit is that of crediting their dog with more powers of reasoning than it really has. How many times have we seen a dog out in the park, running free, with the owner attempting to recall the dog and being totally ignored?

Eventually the dog returns and is greeted with a reprimand and/or punishment and then put on the lead. It is perfectly clear to the owner why he has done this but unfortunately the dog is completely mystified and cannot figure out why it has been punished. However it does use its intelligence and decides that it's not a good idea to return when recalled.

The owner has now succeeded in training their dog not to come back when called!
