Dog Training
Concept training, a new flair on dog training. It allows you to enjoy your dogs and train life skills at the same time. If you enjoy training you are more likely to continue.
Concept and Games based training
Traditional training emphasizes commands, like ‘sit’ ‘down’ and ‘stay’. While these are important behaviours for a dog to learn, a concept trainer's methods incorporate a different approach – one backed by the latest science. I teach dogs to think and make good choices, and encourage them to work *with* you, all by playing games that build trust, confidence and a positive relationship.​
​
We work through fun games which shape your dog’s brain – and their behaviour - by strengthening concepts such as confidence, impulse control and calmness to name a few. The more we reward the positive choices that our dog makes, and change the language of No don't do that to, what would I rather my dog be doing? The aim is to reinforce and strengthen the right choice, which will lead to the good behaviour being repeated in the future.
​
Naturally, my own dogs were the first beneficiaries of my games-based training. As I started to see real-life changes in them, and my truffling became easier. I knew I could help other dogs with similar struggles and that's when I decided to take dog training full time.
