Reward- based positive dog training.

- Puppy socialisation

- Scent work
- Puppy & Beginners agility
- One to One Training
- Reactivity Specialist
- 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canine training and behavior I ensure that the methods I use are ethical, force free, modern and positive; rather than outdated and aversive.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.

โ˜”๏ธ ALL CLASSES AND LESSONS ARE POSTPONED FOR TOMORROWโ˜”๏ธ

The following message has been sent out to all clients booked in tomorrow.

Hi Guys. Once again we have a yellow and amber weather warning tomorrow, with gale force winds over 60mph. I've also had several concerned messages from clients this morning, so for safety reasons i have taken the decision to postpone the session.

๐Ÿšจ Please could each of you respond to this email so I know you have all got this message.

This Saturdays sessions will therefore be postponed to the following week at the usual times. An additional week will be added to the end of the course, so you will still get the full number of sessions'

See you all next week ๐Ÿคž

โ˜”๏ธ ALL CLASSES AND LESSONS ARE POSTPONED FOR TOMORROWโ˜”๏ธ

The following message has been sent out to all clients vooked in tomorrow.

'It is set to be very heavy rain and strong winds, with a yellow weather warning. Ideally, we would still go ahead with the session, but many clients across Saturdays groups have expressed they would rather not. I also have to take safety precautions for both pups/dogs and their owners.

This Saturdays sessions will therefore be postponed to the following week at the usual times. An additional week will be added to the end of the course, so you will still get the full number of sessions'
