As humans we communicate through verbal sounds, body language and facial expressions. Your dog also communicates through verbal sounds, body language and expressions, but …… they are two completely different communication methods. You do not have a tail to wag, or hackles that rise, or ears that move. Your dog cannot say "I'd like to go for a walk now", or frown and smile. Our training methodology enables two species to communicate and understand each others behaviours and communication styles.

We believe in praise and reward based training. We encourage positive re-inforcement of good behaviour so that your dog learns that good behaviour is rewarded and bad behaviour is ignored. Rewarding your dog for positive behaviour can take many different forms, from verbal praise, play, petting, toys and food rewards. What is most important is that you know your dog well enough to understand what motivates them.
