Approach

Reward the dog in front of you.

  1. 01

    Food first

    A hungry dog learns faster than a told-off one. Bring soft food the size of a pea.

  2. 02

    Short lessons

    A minute of good practice beats a frustrated half hour. We stop when the dog checks out.

  3. 03

    Honest limits

    We will say if a group is the wrong place. We will not promise a cure.

Our approach, and the questions we are asked

At home

Six skills. Your own score.

Mark what you are practising. It stays on this device. Reliable means the skill holds in your kitchen, not that it will hold everywhere.

Assessment

Tell us about the dog you have.

A free call. We ask about age, home, and any bites, so we do not put the wrong dog in a group. Behaviour changes can have a medical cause — please speak to your vet as well.
