Training and Behavioural problems Sheila McDonald

Unfortunately dogs don’t come ready programmed to live with humans. As loveable and adaptive as they are they need to be taught how to behave around humans and the homes we live in. They are a different species; they are not children in furry skins. To train your dog to live in harmony with you and your family you need to be able to understand how your dog thinks and learns. I offer a One-to-One Session to help you understand and rectify your dogs problems.

I also offer training classes for all dogs over 6 months old. Younger dogs are catered for with the Puppy School classes which run constantly. A new puppy class starts every 3 weeks. Older dog courses start throughout the year so call the centre to find out when the next adult course begins. I am an APDT(Association of Pet Dog Trainers) accredited trainer and use only kind reward based methods. No choke chains, check chains or any punitive methods are allowed or used in class. We work with the dog and how it learns to train effectively and kindly. See www.apdt.co.uk for more details on the association.
