As a positive reinforcement trainer, I take a wholistic approach to training. One thing I focus on is helping you understand the world a bit more from your dog's perspective. I'll possibly challenge some ideas that you have regarding our relationships with dogs or we might be on the same page from the get-go.
Either way, it's important to note that my ultimate goal lies in helping you develop a deeper understanding of your dog's worldview.
You will learn more about how they communicate with us and each other. Throughout my programs, I will educate you on different aspects of dog care, from socialisation and nail trimming to reading the ingredients list on dog food. Additionally, you will begin learning to interpret canine body language and gain valuable insights into your dog's daily communication cues.
Exploring the Relationship Between You and Your Dog, we will take a comprehensive look at your life with your canine companion from a wholistic perspective. We will delve into your previous training experiences, techniques utilised, and their effectiveness or lack thereof. Let's be honest, if everything had been going smoothly, you wouldn't be searching for dog trainers online, right? ;)
Throughout my programs, we cover a range of topics including diet, exercise and grooming. You will learn more about how dogs perceive the world, how we perceive them, and the differences between these perspectives. Despite the differences in our species, effective communication between humans and dogs is not as complex as it may seem. We will touch upon setting realistic expectations, ensuring success for both you and your dog, properly reinforcing desired behaviours, and the gradual process of instilling lifelong habits through dedication and consistency from all household members.
Ultimately, my utmost goal is to leave behind a happier and more content dog when I depart your home. I firmly believe that creating joy in dogs stems from ensuring their human companions are content as well. If you are tired of resorting to traditional methods and are eager to cultivate a harmonious environment with your dog, then you have certainly come to the right place
