Our Training Methods

We use behaviour-based training to help teach your puppy or dog a good foundation, which will be progressed to working under distraction. 

We allow the puppy or dog to problem-solve, and we will also use luring when appropriate. These methods will help us to achieve the desired behaviours with your puppy or dog.

With over 17 years of experience in professional dog training and a lifetime of experience having dogs, your dog will be in great hands to lay excellent foundations for future training.

Each dog is an individual, and we adapt our training to suit the dog we are working with.
