Puppies
Congratulations on your new bundle of joy and welcome to the world of puppy parenthood. If you haven’t already you will discover the trials and tribulations as you travel through the world of ‘Puppydom’.
An understanding of dog behaviour with a qualified trainer will integrate your puppy into the family and have a positive and enjoyable relationship with your right from the start. It is much easier to teach your puppy the right thing from the beginning than it is to change it later on.

Initial lesson: 1.5 hours ($250)
Returning lessons: 1 hour ($220)

Behaviour
There are many causes and reasons that contribute towards behavioural problems. I believe in gaining a thorough understanding of the history, genetics, environment and health of the dog to help us with the recovery process. No dog (or owner) is the same, so their reactions and expressions of behaviours are always on an individual level therefore every situation is different and needs to be treated carefully.
There is no simple cure for any behaviour problem, it is very important that the cause of the problem is addressed, not just the symptoms. And often in cases there will be more than one issues that needs to be addressed.
During the initial consult we sit down and talk through the problems/issues you and your dog(s) are experiencing and the relevant history. We then discuss the solutions and what outcomes we would like to work towards. This is followed up by making a plan that outlines the appropriate stepping stones for training.
We also discuss general dog behaivour and methods and how we can make this a positive and fun experience for both your family and your canine friend(s). This first lesson is usually 1.5-2 hours and is conducted at your home. The following lessons are hourly and usually at your home again or in your local area, such as a local park, depending on the behaviuoal issue(s).
If we need to incorporate other dogs for example if dealing with fear aggression (dogs) then I will bring my canine companions that have helped me rehabilitate other dogs for over ten years (see photo).
Behavioural problems include ALL aggression, separation anxiety, barking, resource guarding, any reactivity, destructive behaviour, teenager/adult mouthing, escaping and more..
