As a trainer I only use positive reinforcement.
What is positive reinforcement?
- Action: You give a high value treat which your pet enjoys
- Outcome: This increases positive behaviour being repeated
- Owner: Has a content, happy dog, who looks forward to training and being with their owner
Why is positive reinforcement good?
- Your dog will try really hard to please you
- There are no bad effects on your dog
- Your dog releases a happy chemical called Dopamine
Each dog is different and we assess them with an open book.
Some of the issues we deal with are:
- Aggression
- Destructive behaviour
- Defecating or urinating in the home
- Barking
- Self-harming
- Separation anxiety
- Fear
Behavioural Process
- We start with a phone consultation £30
- Practical 1.5 hour consultation either at your home or where the unwanted behaviour is £50
- Follow up consultation to discuss your dog’s improvements and if they need future training £40
