Our private puppy training lesson is like no other. If there is anything you want to know and learn about puppies, their milestones, management in the house, socialising, diet, nipping, jumping, overexcitedness, toilet and crate training, basic manners, bonding etc. We cover all of this and so much more. This is the most comprehensive lesson you will ever have with your new puppy and will set you both up for a great life together.

Don't ever think that getting another dog is going to solve the problems with your current dog. Dogs learn from us but they also learn from eachother. It pays to make sure they have good teachers.

When you've learnt alot and know you are a good boy!
Did you know that teaching your dog to walk on a loose leash, starts before you even leave the house? Teaching our dogs skills to be able to do what we are asking both inside and outside the home is key to living the best life with your dog. Why not call now and find out how.

Most people don't get help with their new puppy because they think raising a puppy is relatively easy.
The fact is it is THE most important time of your dogs life. Its when relationships, understanding, and behaviours all start.
Do you want to make raising your puppy a pleasure and not a period in time to "get through"
Lets talk.

When I first met this little girl, she was very nervous, reactive and on medication to help her cope in her new home after a previous home as a breeding dog. 4 lessons down and look at her now! No more reacting to people, her family life is now relaxed and calm, she accepts visitors without any fuss and look how close Theo is! Mr Perfect has a very special way around nervous dogs and once again worked his magic. This little poppet still has a way to go but now her family understand her and can help her keep moving towards her best life.

Sometimes being so cute can be abit of a problem. Why? Because we tend to let cute little dogs do whatever they want. Whether human or animals, we all need structure and guidelines to live with. If we dont have this, dogs just like us, become out of control, anxious, stressed and not fun to be around. Alot of dogs who appear to be out of control also develop problem behaviours because they are very intelligent and their mental needs are not being met. Have you got a little cute problem? Reach out and we can make everyones life so much less stressful

What a gorgeous little girl.
This little poppet is a great companion to her elderly owner but she has been getting a little clingy and starting to get distressed when her owner leaves home.
Working on this before it gets any worse is so important. Not only is this type of anxiety very distressing for this little dog, but also for her wonderful owner, who just wants to do the best for her.
Getting the right advice, and gaining the skills and knowledge is key to helping our dogs be happy, calm and content, even if we arent there all the time.

Why training and therapy work compliment each other.

I am Nationally accredited in dog behaviour and training but I believe that training is not all there is to having a social, well mannered dog. A dogs’ understanding of what we are asking and also its emotions are what causes it to behave the way it does, so training your dog is not just about stopping it from doing something you don’t want - like excessive barking - its about communicating effectively and changing the emotion the dog is feeling that causes that behaviour in the first place. If we don’t change its emotional, another undesirable behaviour will come out again at some point.

Dogs are like us, and many suffer physical pain and discomfort. If they are in pain, they get grumpy and their behaviour can deteriorate. Being pack animals, they are experts at hiding their pain until it becomes too severe. This is why it is so important to be able to assess an animal for pain and discomfort in their body that may be influencing their behaviour as well as having the knowledge and experience to train it.
