FAQs
What is your approach to dog training?
Focussing on reward-based training, you will never need to use fear or intimidation to train your dog. We'll use what your dog enjoys to motivate them. This may be food, toys, cuddles, or a host of other things! It is personal to them.
Research shows that using punishment or aversive equipment in training can be hugely damaging to the bond between dog and owner. Not only this, but in many cases it will not fix the problem, only mask it.
Despite what some brands may advertise, there is no such thing as a 'quick fix' in dog training. If anyone promises you this - they're lying!
That is not to say that reward-based training is slow. Not at all! Done right, you and your dog will learn effective communication and a bond that will be lifelong.
Which of your services is right for me?
Every client is an individual, so we'll work together to find the right choice for you.
We have our main options:
Puppy Onboarding - which is for puppy owners, or soon-to-be owners that would like advice.
Remote Dog Training - for dogs (including puppies) of all ages in the home. Helping to teach new skills or develop already established ones.
We also cover some behaviour issues on a case-by-case basis.
Service Consultation - for owners that aren't sure where to turn and need an experienced professional to lay out the options.
If you are still unsure, please send an email or fill in our contact form!
Why are all of your services remote?
In many cases I don't actually need to be there! With the wonders of the internet, I can chat to you and coach you without having to set foot into your home.
This is beneficial to you for a few reasons:
1. Your dog is not disturbed by a newcomer to the house
2. You have more privacy in your own home which many clients prefer
3. I can keep costs lower as there is no travel expense on my fees
4. We can do evening or weekend sessions as there is no travel time needed
5. You can access my services from anywhere in the country!
If you would still like face-to-face training, consider booking my service consultation, where I can recommend places to find you a local and qualified trainer that suits your needs!
