Our Ethos
We only use positive, reward based training methods.
Research has shown that positive reinforcement is far more effect than punishment techniques. By rewarding your pet for the right behaviour they will want gain that reward again and again.
We believe that training should be fun and engaging for both dogs and owners.
Everyone focuses better when they are having fun. By making training fun your pet will love to work with you and be more likely to respond when there are other distractions and increasing the dog owner bond.
We enhance the bond between dog and owner through positive interactions.
A strong dog owner bond its key a happy relationship. If you both enjoy spending time together it will help to create a bond that will last a lifetime. By creating this bond, using positive reinforcement you will stimulate your pet's desire to please and, in turn, lead to a happy loving home.
We believe that the stronger the bond you have with your dog the greater the understanding between you will be.
Feeling listened to and understood is important to any relationship. Understanding your dog's behaviour will Increase the positive connection with your pet will help you both understand each others needs and desires.
We teach the importance of effective reward giving.
One of the biggest challenges for trainers using positive reinforcement is making sure you are rewarding the behaviour you want. We can help give advice on ways to reward and how to avoid rewarding in the wrong way or at the wrong time.
We promote passive training methods to encourage stress-free daily learning.
Passive learning is the type of learning that happens every day without our pet knowing. By using this style of learning to improve dog behaviour we can have a huge impact on how dogs learn as well as train the meaning of words like 'calm'.
We believe dogs should be allowed to be dogs, we can just teach methods to help redirect some behaviours.
Some of the natural dog behaviours can be problematic for owners at times. Difficult as that is, it does not always mean that the behaviour itself is wrong. There are tactics that can be used to edit or manage behaviours in these situations using positive reinforcement but you can never stop a dog acting like a dog.
