''I've seen a look in dogs eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts."
- John Steinbeck
What is your dog telling you?
The mark of a good dog trainer should be about teaching you how to get your dog to do great things... many people forget that when dealing with a problem behaviour, the bigger challenge is changing our own.
We choose to have dogs; they are our responsibility, which means finding out as much as possible about this species, and not expecting it to behave like a human - in dog terms no behaviour is good or bad, it is just a behaviour, it is up to us to show our dogs what is and what is not acceptable in the Human World.
Training enhances the partnership and bond you have with your dog
Dogs communicate in a very different way to us, and learning their language is key to our understanding of them.
So much conversation going on here. Most humans would be scared of this body language, and expect a fight. These two do not live together, but know each other well and are very good friends, no blood has ever been drawn...
Interestingly although the gray dog is underneath the white one, the gray one is usually successful in this type of situation with this dog. Looking at body language the white dog is not too sure... his eyes and head are averted (looking away from her), whereas she is staring directly at him. His tail is low, and his ears are slightly apart. He is not as confident as he looks to us and she knows it! She is the more intimidating dog in this conversation.
We are proud that we don't judge people, our aim is to help your dog through yourself.
Normally you will be seen within two weeks, it is useful to remember that there are steps to accomplish before addressing your problem, from our point of view we see problem behaviours as symptoms, so we will spend time initially gathering information and getting to know both you and your dog before giving our analysis and advice.
You and your dog are individuals, and prices are based on age, breed and type of issue that we are addressing.
