The importance of finding a good ethical qualified KIND behaviourist and trainer is essential - I can’t stress this enough.
If you are looking for help, support and training - please do your research - ask questions - especially about training methods.
Find out if you are a good fit.
A good trainer will be happy to discuss this with you before you make a commitment.
Kindness and respect for our furry friends should be paramount in everything we do for them -
Whether it be a trainer, a walker, home boarding, kennels - oh and your groomer 😊🐾
What makes me different as a dog trainer/behaviourist? Aside from my qualifications and experience
I get it!
I live with 5 dogs, 3 relatively easy domestic dogs, and 2 rescues with complex behaviours and history.
I really do understand the different training and management needed for each individual dog, I live with it day in day out, I understand the frustrations, and the perceived judgement of others, I get it.
So when I work with pet parents I am working to understand their whole families needs and to support them so that they can give the right support to their dogs, their journey is unique to them.
There are no short cuts to training, no magic wands, or special equipment that will fix things. We must learn to understand the dog in front of us, and work with that dog, not the dog that we wish it was. We must nurture the bond, the trust, meet their basic needs and provide safe outlets for their behaviours, before we ask anything else of our dogs.
All dogs are amazing, but they aren’t all cut out to be the docile, super sociable, sofa surfing domestic pet that society expects them to be, I see the differences, I get it.
