- Dog Walking services During my study and practices in canine training and behavior I ensure that the methods I use are ethical, force free, modern and positive; rather than outdated and aversive. To me, the use

of positive reinforcement is the most beneficial, ethical and successful way for canines learn, build confidence and not only support their physical health but also considers their psychological health. By making training fun and positive, we can increase the behaviors we do want from our canines, as well as reduce the unwanted behaviors.

Visited Feadon Wildlife and Education Centre today for my birthday 🎂
Such an amazing day out, walking reindeer, feeding the meercats, porcupines, reptiles and birds. And learning so much about a variety of species.
Highlight of the day was getting to fly an owl called Sebastian and a harris hawke called Tony. Much like our dogs, they are taught to fly and flight paths using positive reinforcement.
Such a fantastic day, evan though a reindeer did kick me and a meercat bite my finger 🤣
