Frequently Asked Questions
How long will it take to train my dog?
This will depend on the issue you have, your dog, the rate at which they learn, how capable you are of grasping the exercises and ultimately how much time you spend practicing outside of our sessions.
Unfortunately there are no magic potions or silver bullets that will resolve things over night (sometimes there are simple solutions) but we will be honest with you about the time we think it will take to resolve.
why do you use food to train?
Firstly, most dogs are motivated by food. Secondly, its a great way of creating positive associations. Thirdly, its a great barometer for your dogs level of focus.
Saying that, sometimes food isn’t the most motivating thing for some dogs, so we do also use a variety of other items (toys, play, praise and affection), but really it comes down to the individual dog and what they enjoy and what motivates them.
Am I stuck with carrying food for the rest of my dogs life?
Very simply no. Part of the process we go through when training is starting to remove the food and creating new habits that mean the new behaviour is their new norm.
Saying that, if you want to continue treating your dog for the rest of his life, I’m sure they won’t be disappointed!
where will the training sessions be held?
We can and do train in a variety of places and depending on what we are looking to train will depend on where we go. This may mean that we start at home and then progress to other areas like the local park, high street or car park.
For any classes we run, we will publicise the location in the literature we email to you and also on our website once we start running classes.
