My Services

I specialise in training owners and their pet dogs and work on a One to One basis in my clients own homes and local open spaces. I feel it is so important to deal with any problems at the root and that usually starts at home, this is where you and your dog spend the majority of time and this is where I can assess and gain a true picture of the relationship between owner and dog. I am very flexible and will arrange a time that will fit in with busy family and work schedules.

One to One Consultations & Training
For dogs of all ages. You may want the right start with a new puppy, or advice on a specific problem with an older dog, or you may have just given a home to a rescue dog and are trying to deal with the problems this may bring.
I also offer consultations to give you advice on choosing the right dog for you and all that goes with dog ownership.

Lessons These can be held at your home or open space near you or at my home in Haxey DN9, I now have a large secure training field, ideal for practicing off lead control.

Puppy Socialisation & Training

It is extremely important to socialise your puppy from the moment he comes to your home, which is usually at around 7-9 weeks, he will already have learnt how to be a dog from his Mum and litter brothers and sisters. And hopefully the breeder will have already handled him, began toilet training and introduced him to household sights and sounds.

Tthe best way to start is to have as many positive, calm interactions in your home. This is a good time to invite the neighbours, friends and family and their children in for a cup of tea.

Puppy socialisation party, from the book After You Get Your Puppy by Dr Ian Dunbar

It is important to introduce your puppy to other pets in the home and you can start some basic training straight away. When your puppy has completed his/her vaccinations, devote time to take your puppy to all the places that you intend to spend your future with him. ie: local parks, shops, school, town, on the bus, in the car, the local pub, friends & families homes.

It's a big world out there! All these experiences must be positive ones and when handled correctly will result in a well balanced and socialised happy dog.

New plans for 2010 are Puppy Agility/Socialisation classes. If you would be interested in these then please let me know.

When a change in your dogs behaviour occurs, especially when showing aggression, it is advisable to seek the advice of a qualified veterinary surgeon to rule out any medical problems before embarking on a behavioural programme.
