Positive 4 Paws

Modern dog training using positive reward methods. These are reliable and motivational giving long term benefits to the dog and human sides of the relationship. Promoting and building the special bond between you and your dog.

Empowering them to cope with everyday life. These methods are tried and tested by myself as well as many world renowned dog trainers. They are being successfully used to help with basic training as well as difficult aggression cases.

I am an assessed member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers UK. Working within their code of practice (click here for details). Using these up to date methods i will show you how to understand and teach your dog new behaviours. The clicker is a great tool for training your dog. It can be used by all the family and gives consistency for your dog to easily understand. I am also registered with the Animal Training and Behaviour Council. I take part in regular seminars and workshops to make sure the methods being used are up to date.

Any tools or training aids used in Modern dog training should be the least intrusive option available and not be designed to be physically aversive or physiologically aversive to stop unwanted behaviours.
