Brighton Home Dog Training and Behaviour. Puppy Education
Welcome to home dog training Brighton and my name is Shauna you local dog behaviour therapist and trainer. I grew up around dogs but early on I decided to follow a career with horses. This was until I had my Shar Pei cross, German Shepherd / Rottweiler, Oscar. He was a super star until one day he was attacked by another dog. This turned our lives upside down. My once friendly confidant dog had turned into a nervous wreck whenever we went outside. He would try to attack any dog he saw in the street, barked continually at the front door and growled at anybody who tried to touch him. Walking him was becoming something I dreaded each day; it was embarrassing. Taking him to obedience classes didn’t help as he would be aggressive to any other dogs in the class. One day the postman knocked at the door and Oscar actually went through the glass of the door. I knew then that I needed help to get him back under control and help in understanding how Oscar was perceiving the world.
It was difficult to find professional dog training near me, but then I found Bark Busters. I called the trainer in Brighton, at that time, to set up an appointment to come to see Oscar. The trainer put together a programme and helped me understand how to communicate with Oscar. The programme worked wonders and Oscar soon knew how to behave well in any situation. By the end of the first lesson I had Oscar calmly waiting in another room while I answered the door. Something which I never thought I’d be able manage is a short space of time. By the second and third lessons we were walking in the street around other dogs again and Oscar managed his fears brilliantly. This is when I knew that I would like to help others with their relationship with their dog. To bring fun back into owning a dog and to make the experience joyful again, so I applied to become a dog behaviour therapist in the Brighton area.
I have been using the Bark Busters dog training methods for years and I would never have thought that I could have achieved the results in such a short space of time. I can help you to achieve these results too. I can show you how to communicate effectively with your dog in a way they will understand and to explain why the behaviour is happening. Once you know the "why" behind the behaviour we can soon get to work on "how" to fix the problem. If your dog is old, new or even a young puppy I can help. No dog is beyond help. Pulling on the lead, jumping up, boisterous behaviour, separation anxiety, aggression to dogs or people and many more I can help you. Maybe you’re looking to give your puppy the best start in life. I tailor the training programme to your needs and your dog’s needs. With just 15 – 20 minutes of training per day you will see great improvements and achieve the behaviour you want.
How my dog training lesson work
At our first lesson, you will have lots of opportunity to describe the behaviour problems you are struggling with. Then, together, we will discuss the way forward. I will explain our training system, which is based on communication, leadership, and lots of praise. I explain your role in the training programme, we practise the techniques whilst I am with you, and I will leave you with a written training plan to follow as you put the system in place. I then ask that you provide me with an update on your progress so we can decide when the next lesson will take place.
I work with all dogs, all behaviour problems, and puppies too
I work with all types of different breeds of dogs as well as puppies too. I also work with rescue dogs who are struggling to adapt to their new environment, have never experienced any form of training, and are proving to be a challenge to their new owners. Most dogs just want to please, listen, and learn, and once their owners start to consistently use our effective approach, everything drops in to place.
Whether you are struggling with aggression, barking, pulling on the lead, recall, separation anxiety, or any other dog behaviour problem that you can’t seem to get under control, my methods will help you to put an end to the endless cycle of frustration between you and your dog. Don't become increasingly frustrated whilst your dog seemingly ignores you.
If it’s puppy training that you need, then I can support you throughout the various stages of your puppy’s development, from toilet training, chewing and mouthing, through to leadwork and recall; always keeping in mind the puppy’s capacity to learn and his need for rest.
I also train dogs with disabilities
I work with dogs with disabilities too. Deaf and blind dogs, and dogs with missing limbs. My methods work with all dogs regardless of their disabilities.
New puppy? Why not consider my home puppy training classes
If you are looking for home puppy training classes, then I can support you throughout the various stages of your puppy’s development. Why not consider my home training programme. It is fun and friendly and will help you to become the proud owner of a healthy, happy puppy. Group training classes can be very stressful for your puppy and if they become disruptive in the classes you can often be asked to leave. My lessons are informative and provides puppies with the very best start in life.
My home puppy training classes can cover topics such as:
- Best toileting habits
- Appropriate diet and good food manners
- Recall - coming when called
- Gate and door control
- Sit, stay and down training
- Correct holding of the lead and walking
- Walking to heel
- Distance control (staying with you when there are other distractions)
- How to successfully socialise your puppy
- How to de-sensitise, for example, vacuum cleaners and car travel etc.
- Protecting your puppy from being overwhelmed by people or other dogs
- Accustoming to handling, bathing and grooming
- Bad behaviour prevention and management, e.g. jumping up, mouthing, play biting and chewing etc.
