FAQs

There are many things to consider before choosing a dog trainer or dog behaviourist. These are some of the most common questions we are asked.

If you have any other questions, please contact us.

Do you have anymore you want adding or removing/changing

A dog behaviourist focuses on finding the reasons behind a dog's particular behaviour, such as why is the dog aggressive, fearful in certain situations or anxious etc. The most important thing to understand is to identify the root cause of the problem. We use proven techniques to correct the behaviour. A dog trainer teaches obedience commands - like sit, stay, come. Often, both roles can overlap.

This will vary depending on the type of issues the dog has. Before we do any training, we always assess the dog first and then create a specific training plan. More complex issues may take several months. Basic training - obedience commands, walking to heel etc ,may need just a few sessions.

The cost of dog training depends on your dog's specific needs and on the type of training required.  After we have assessed your dog we will give you a training plan and a price. 

We recommend starting as soon as possible after your puppy has had all their vacinactions.  Puppies enjoy learning new things, it is exciting for them and will react positively to training.

The saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" really is a myth. It may take longer, require more effort and patience to train an older dog, but it is possible by using the correct training methods to suit your dog.
