A dog behaviourist focuses on finding the reasons behind a dog's particular behaviour, such as why the dog is aggressive, fearful in certain situations or anxious, etc. The most important thing to understand is to identify the root cause of the problem. We use proven techniques to correct the behaviour. A dog trainer teaches obedience commands - like sit, stay, and come. Often, both roles can overlap. To become a good dog trainer, you need to be a good dog behaviourist and vice versa.

This will vary depending on the type of issues the dog has. Before any training, we always assess the dog and then create a specific training plan. More complex issues may take several months. Basic training - obedience commands, walking to heel, etc., may need just a few sessions.

The cost of dog training depends on your dog's specific needs and on the type of training required. After we assess your dog, we will provide a training plan and a quote.

We recommend starting as soon as possible after your puppy has had all their vaccinations. Puppies enjoy learning new things; it is exciting for them and they will react positively to training.

The saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" really is a myth. It may take longer and require more effort and patience to train an older dog, but it is possible to do so using the correct training methods suited to your dog.

Due to strict, legally enforced training regulations, we do not train breeds covered by The Dangerous Dog Act: Pit Bull Terrier, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, American XL Bully, Cane Corso and Boerboel
