Training

Basic training goals include training your dog to walk nicely on the lead, come when called, sit, lie down and stay on command. Most owners are able to get their dogs achieve these and much, much more!  I am an advocate of 'clicker training' and the sessions follow the “4-Legs-Good Dog Training Manual”, which is provided free of charge on booking an initial session and is useful for future reference.  I also advise on effective management equipment and can source this for you. Most people find 3-4 sessions the optimum amount.  I offer the following options:

• One to one
• Introductory Puppy Course
• 4-Legs-Dog Training School
• Resolving Training Problems
• Help with your Rescue Dog
 

Having been controlled and manipulated by larger than life Collie X for about 12 years I decided that enough was enough and returned to college to study for the Advanced Study Diploma in Companion Animal Behaviour Counselling at Southampton University. I helped pay my way through college by working as a dog walker. Since graduating in 2004 I have been training dogs and sorting out pet behaviour problems in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, the West-Midlands and The Borders. I gained full membership of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors in 2007 and I was made a full member of the UK Registry of Canine Behaviourists in 2010. I regularly attend workshops and seminars to keep up to date with new developments. I have become well established within the Veterinary community of Shropshire and many clients are able to claim my fee through their pet insurance. I live with my human family plus two Dogs, Cat and Guinea Pigs in Shrewsbury.
