Behaviour problems in dogs are sadly very common in todays’ society and generally the main reason that the poor dog, through no fault of its own really, ends up being put in a rescue for rehoming or sadly even being put to sleep.
I believe the majority if not all of behaviour problems are caused by us humans and our lack of understanding that a dog is first and foremost a dog. They do not understand or speak English or any other language for that matter. They are dogs, all individual characters, who communicate, learn and think differently to us humans and many problems or issues result out of fear.
I am very natural and calm with dogs, I believe that all dogs need to feel secure to be happy. I’m a firm believer that a dog needs boundaries and it needs to know it is safe; this is achieved by you having a natural bond with your dog along with kind, thoughtful direction. Once they have learnt what you are asking of them they will then make the correct choices, just needing occasional guidance and reassurance from you. If you want to call that a form of leadership then yes, dominance and intimidation NO.
I have a very natural approach to dog training and behaviour and I will strive to offer you sound advice and help regarding any unwanted behaviours. I am happy to work with you and your dog for however long it takes or you need me. Firstly, we do need to identify and understand the cause for the unwanted behaviour and that is usually either caused by a bad experience or something you are doing or have done wrong. Every dog and circumstance is unique but I will help you to understand how your dog learns and communicates in order to address the unwanted behaviour.
I would like to add that, Aggression is not just a training problem, it can be caused by many different factors depending on the dog, its history and breeding. Aggression is often caused by fear, anxiety, pain or lack of appropriate social skills. On occasion the unwanted behaviour or aggression can be due to an underlying medical condition which a vet can diagnose and resolve.
Every situation, and dog is unique and different. So whether you need help with behaviour or puppy training and or general training issues, I am always happy to work with owners who want the best for their dogs. I would like to point out though that there are no ‘Quick Fixes’ a dog is a dog and it will take them as long as it takes them to learn and understand what it is YOU are asking of them. Their learning will very much depend on you, how committed and good you are at giving them the clear but kind direction that they need.
