My training will cover a range of different techniques specially designed as an individual 1-2-1 program to combat your dogs issues. I use reward based methods which could be food, a favourite toy, a ball or just a touch.
- Different forms of aggression
- Nervous or fearful aggression
- Territorial behaviour e.g. barking or growling in the home
- Separation anxiety
- Destruction of items in the home
- Unwanted barking or whining
- Fears and phobias in the home e.g. noises or objects
- Firework and noise phobia
- Fears and phobias outside of the home e.g. roads or busy places
- Overly ‘boisterous’ behaviours with other dogs or people
- Biting or mouthing
- Possessive behaviours e.g. claiming of objects or areas of the home
My 1-2- 1 programme for aggressive, nervous, neurotic, confused, anxious, frustrated, and overcited dogs, are not issues that can be addressed in a short time. It may take weeks, months or a year long programme to improve the quality of life for your reactive dog. All learning will take place at the dogs’ pace – giving you, the owner, time to practice and develop the skills I teach you.
An initial assessment of you, your dog and its surroundings will help determine the the right approach to take.
The unique programme will help your dog cope in situations that were once stressful, and hopefully make them more relaxed and calmer. With my own reactive dog, I know sometimes they can’t be cured, but with various strategies, I can give you the confidence to manage your dog in everyday life. Helping you recognise your dogs emotional state in certain situations, through understanding their body language, creating a calm balance between you and your dog and its environment.
