Expect more from your trainer!
Social Development
Regular socialisation provides your dog with the best opportunity to learn about the world we live in and become well-mannered companions. Unfortunately, due to several factors, this is not always possible and opportunities to learn good social skills in the UK are greatly restricted.
We teach all the generic exercises found in many of dog training books, on websites and other pet dog organisations that are useful and positive but our primary aim is to teach you how to prevent or overcome inappropriate behaviour/s. For example; aggression, dominance and insubordination.
Finding the right training school is crucial to your dog's training. This can be very difficult as there are as many opinions as there are training methods. Obviously, dog training is a business but it is not an excuse for poor training!
We truely care about your dog's quality of life for its entire life and because of this, we're not restricted by the various associations that profit from general concepts of “one size fits all” approach i.e. reward the good and ignore the bad; or s/he will grow out of it!!! Our common sense approach is progressive from elementary to a respectful, well behaved companion dog.
It's important you attend a reputable dog training school and invest some time practising at home and whilst out on walks. Selecting a trainer simply because s/he is closest to your home can be a poor investment. Please see further down the page for details about our socialisation classes or view our Pet Dogs and Calendar page for details of our training venues, dates and times.

"Life's leashes are unavoidable, the challenge is which end controls
Dogs know when they are connected to a leash, many humans don't
Sometimes a leash is necessary to keep us moving in the right direction
Discipline is the ability to walk in the right direction without a leash"...by Roger Hite
