Alex dealt with Puppy management
Met with Alex and we went through several exercises together with my Golden Retriever puppy, Penny. She responded well and I'll continue to practice with her until our next visit from Alex. Alex explained things clearly before then going through the exercises to show me how it's done, before I then had a go myself. The initial lesson was very hands on which worked perfectly and I'm looking forward to seeing Alex again so we can continue training Penny. Alex is clearly knowledgable and I've got full confidence in his abilities to train Penny with me. The exercises we did most definitely instilled more confidence in me too.
I love working with puppies. Partly because I can watch them grow up to be well behaved dogs and partly, because I am able to go home after a couple of hours to my 2 older dogs, unlike their owner who lives with them full time. As I have said before, there really is no quick fix with a puppy. For me they are puppies until about 6 months old. Then they enter their teenage phase, but by 12 - 18 months they will be a well behaved adult if we get things right. Penny was certainly full of energy, but after just over 2 hours she was absolutely shattered and she was fast asleep when I left. Look forward to catching up with Penny and her family in a few weeks

Alex dealt with Pulling
Rosie is a lovely dog, but she used to get extremely excited when people entered her home and she used to pull her owner all over the place when she went for a walk. By the end of the initial session, she was listening much better to her owner and her heel work had massively improved. Can’t wait to catch up with them both soon.

Frida is a lovely dog who already listened to her owners more than a lot of dogs I meet. But she is very nervous of strangers entering her home and hates being left home alone. In order to improve these behavioural issues, its important that we change the dynamic between Frida and her parents so that she becomes aware they are going to keep her safe in all situations and that she doesn’t need to worry when she is home alone. She did really well during the session and I’m looking forward to catching up with them all in a few weeks.

My job is definitely training people not their dog. The methods I teach are simple but effective. The hardest part of training any dog of any age is definitely being consistent. We also need good body language, we need to keep calm, and we need to ensure the basics are in place - right food and right amount, the right amount of sleep, mental stimulation and understanding the importance of being aloof. Looking forward to catching up with them all in a few weeks.
