The methods I use in training and behaviour work with dogs and cats are positive and reward based. Training using this approach helps to build and maintain trust. If your pet feels safe and calm, they can learn what we are trying to teach them more easily and behaviour change is more successful. It takes time and patience to change behaviour, quick fixes rarely work (as you may have already found out). Due to my teaching background, I recognise the importance of varying my teaching and communication style to suit the person (and their pet) in front of me. Learning happens best when animals and humans are calm, relaxed and ideally having fun! My aim is for you and your pet to have a positive experience and for you to feel fully supported at all times.
