Bearing in mind the "if you give a man a fish..." quote, I think it's a much better use of everyone's time (especially the dog's) if I teach YOU how to train YOUR dog. How obedient your dog appears (or not appears) to be, largely depends on the quality of your relationship with your dog. The bottom line is, if you dog doesn't come when you call it, it's because it would rather be somewhere else, doing something else. But, give me 3 hours of your time and I'll teach you how to train your dog so that it comes first time, all the time, for the rest of its life. The same goes for lead walking and many other behaviours. Let me unlock your inner trainer...your dog will thank you for it...

Other things your dog will thank you for include:

• steady stay
• paws on the floor (no jumping)
• leave it/take it 
• polite lead walking
• how to play with your dog to mitigate puppy biting and resource guarding
• settling in any situation
• social and household etiquette
• body language basics
• being relaxed at the vets and groomers
• grooming
• down, sit, up, and other tricks
• rewards and reprimands: when and how to use them

Perfect for puppies, adolescents, veterans, rescues, novice owners, mild behavioural issues.
