Some of you will
remember the Barbara Woodhouse way of training. Today the
methods of training are much more humane with positive
reinforcement based training methods now being used. This means
rewarding the dog for good behaviour or doing something
correctly. Your dog is far more likely to repeat an action if he
thinks there is a reward at the end of it.
The methods I use are based solely on this method of training. I
do not allow choke chains in the classes and this is for a good
reason. The muscles in the dog’s neck suffer and in some cases
the spine can be damaged with repeated hard pulling on the choke
collar. I personally prefer and promote the use of an ordinary
collar and lead, however other controllers are available such as
head collars. I do keep abreast of what is currently available
for trainers and test them on other owner’s dogs or my own. |

Training is very important, this gives the
dog rules both inside and outside of the home, it creates a
strong bond between owner and dog but more importantly the dog
enjoys his life more knowing where the boundaries lie.
The classes offered are a
Puppy Foundation Course an
Obedience Course and
Novice Agility.
Please click on the relevant course for your dog to find
out more.
I have a large fenced outdoor area for training. The classes are
small, six dogs to a class. This gives individual attention to
owners, should they need it. I am fully covered by Public
Liability Insurance. For owners not wishing or unable to
participate in a class, private tuition is available giving more
flexibility to the owners’ requirements. |
