 I believe in Canine Communication which is dog training through understanding and respect, where the dog chooses to cooperate willingly without any use of domination or force. By looking at how the dog sees things, we can save him or her from all the unwanted behaviours that make both the dog's life and your own life difficult.
As a Canine Behaviour Advisor, I give you ongoing SUPPORT. Through extensive experience gained from having over the years worked with hundreds of dog owners and dogs, as a Dog Behaviour Advisor, a Dog Listener and before that with traditional training methods, I am in a uniquely experienced position to see your situation objectively and to help you devise PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS to problems affecting your life with your dog.
For as long as you need me, I SHARE with you your journey towards UNDERSTANDING with your dog.
My principals and methods apply equally to young dogs, old dogs, big dogs and little dogs and to all breeds.
Email from a client: "I went to watch a dog training session last weekend (without Levi of course!). I had no intention of taking him, it was mainly out of curiosity. I was shocked at the methods that the trainer was using, and it reinforced the fact that your way of doing things is the only way. One dog, who looked like a great character, had hold of a toy and wouldn't let go. So the trainer hung her up by her lead so that the collar restricted her breathing and she had no choice but to drop it. There was a dog with a choke chain and the trainer was teaching his owner to force it into a down. Also I could sense that the dogs were not acting on their own free will. In fact one of them, the 'best behaved' one, attacked a puppy. It was obviously tired and stressed at being over controlled. I thought that these methods were no longer used, it was horrible. It made me really appreciate the tools that you have given me. I never have to so much as raise my voice at Levi let alone physically force him to do anything.
I've been realising lately that there are so many dog 'experts' out there and people have blind faith in them because they have some qualification or other. And people in general tend to think they know best when it comes to dogs. It's very frustrating. I don't listen any more, I listen to Levi instead (and you of course!)." Hannah Sheffield, Herts.
NB. I abhore any bullying tactics such as those used in certain TV programmes or fear tactics like the throwing of chains in front of barking dogs advocated by some people.
I have worked one-to-one with hundreds of owners and dogs, helping them to achieve happy, relaxed, trustworthy and self-controlled dogs, without resorting to physical force or shouted commands. I help people to give their dogs the life they deserve. I can help YOU.
Please tell me about the problem you are having with your dog.
