My methods make training enjoyable for both dog and owner. I train dogs in a way that they want to work with us. I use kind, scientifically proven methods which are highly effective with any dog behavioural issue from 'red zone' aggression to general obedience. The dogs in my training sessions are never forced to obey an 'alpha' through pinning to the floor or jabbing the dog in vulnerable parts of the body.
Force-free does not mean 'no rules' or 'weak' but instead means understanding a dogs behaviour and communicating in a harmonious confident building relationship with trust.
Along with a small team, we work with dogs and live with dogs on a daily basis, often walking and controlling groups of dogs consisting of 15 or more dogs at a time - each with individual requirements. We do not use force to get the dogs to behave, they enjoy being a part of our group and through training have learnt to enjoy training. Dogs of any age and breed are welcome. I often provide worksheets for clients to help them through their training.
I do not use: Prong collars, electric shock collars (e-collars) or other cruel and unnecessary methods of training. Our trainers do not work with 'alpha' theory. These methods may appear to work for other trainers but we do not believe they have a place in the modern dog training world and scientific studies prove that our methods are far superior. I will work with owners and their requirements as much as possible, I am always happy to work with owners that have until now used forceful training methods and equipment to attempt to control their dogs but are set on changing their methods.
I do not advise drugging or euthanizing dogs, however I may sometimes recommend natural / gentle remedies such as Zylkène, Rescue Remedy (the non-alcohol version) or Adaptil. Occasionally, depending on the problem, I may advise neutering but most common behavioural issues are not helped with neutering alone.
