Building Your Relationship

Building Your Teamwork

So, you have attended puppy classes and schooled your puppy through the first 6/12 months of his life, please don't stop there!

Whatever stage you have reached in your training your dog will always be happy to learn something new.

Interaction with you should be the highlight of his day and whatever you can provide to make your quality time together more interesting will determine how eager he will be to engage with you and stay with you.

Once our dogs reach between 6 - 18 months of age it is not uncommon for them to need a refresher on some of the groundwork exercises you covered back in puppy school. As they start to enter adolescence lots of what they have learnt will go out of the window, as they try to cope with hormonal changes in their body and urges that are all new and out of control.

You may be experiencing various problems or difficulties when out and about, some issues even spoiling what used to be a pleasurable time with your four legged friend.

All is not lost and in fact whatever the age of your dog, whether you are experiencing problems, would like some new training ideas, or feel the need to understand them better, there are plenty of effective fear free techniques and skills at your disposal, to get you re-connected and bring the fun back into your daily conversations.

We are all about building and maintaining the connection between you and your dog and showing you how to have fun and start working as a team.

Within a very short space of time your dog will become increasingly more interested in you and what you have to offer. You will start to become the friend they choose to hang out with and in no time you will be back on track!

During lock-down we have taken our training on-line with great success and for the time being we will be continuing with this in the following formats.
Group Classes
Puppy Classes
One To One Support
Once you have worked with me for a month or more with my on-line support, there is then the option to take your skills into the real world with me and other like minded guardians, observing the current social distancing regulations.
