Services

As different people have different goals and needs when it comes to training their dogs, I offer a variety of services, from basic training and problem solving for the family pet to more serious obedience work for the training enthusiast.

My classes are divided into three groups:

Puppy classes for basic obedience and socialisation

Intermediate obedience & Canine Good Citizen Training for dogs graduating from the puppy class or for dogs who have completed some basic training elsewhere

Advanced obedience for dogs who have completed the intermediate class

As an alternative, I also offer private lessons for those who are unable to attend classes or would prefer more individual attention.

For those with more serious problems with their dogs, I offer behavioural consultations in the dog’s home.

I have also written a book “Understanding Your Canine Friend” which covers the important issues involved in raising a puppy. This is available for purchase to all my clients.
