Services
All initial consultations will be virtual from the comfort of your own home. After that, we may move to in person sessions. Our initial consultation covers your dog history, immediate management (to get you relief from the issue) & presenting problems which we will discuss in lengthy detail.
Puppy Socialisation
Did you know that the socialisation period of puppies is between 3 weeks to approximately 18 weeks? This is the prime time when puppies need to be exposed to different things (think men in funny hats & screaming children) in a safe and gradual manner. If we lose out on socialising your pup at this time, you may possibly have a fearful dog in the future.
Exposure includes, but not limited to:
Different types of surfaces
Other dogs & people
Different smells
Household objects
Different kinds of noises
Fun vet visits
Life skills
I’m personally not a fan of using the word obedience training and I prefer the term life skills. These include your regular training such as:
Sit, drop, stay, wait
Recall
Leave it (no picking up food off the floor!)
Crate/Mat training
Loose leash walking
Potty training
Fear & Aggression
Most of the problems that stem from aggression are generally deep-rooted in fear. I will use scientifically backed methods to work through these problems with you.
Food & object guarding
Lunging at other dogs, people, motorcycles, bicycles.
Fear of fireworks & thunderstorms
Female - female dog aggression
Dogs growling or biting when being touched on different parts of their body.
