Lets start with the most important question...
What methods do i use?
 
The methods i use methods are as positive as possible.  Trainers who call themselves purely positve are misleading - you can not train a dog with only positive methods as they need the negative feedback, even if it is just a simple NO. 
 
I am a firm but fair trainer.  Dogs need boundaries but they also need understanding.  I am a very big fan of clicker training, it is a fantastic way to positively teach your dog exactly what you want without having to push him or her around. 
My own Hebe is a living example to the power of clicker training, she loves to work with me - now if only i can find an off switch!

What methods dont i use?
 
I do not use or advocate the use of prong collars, choke chains or any electronic (shock collars, mats etc) device.  There is NO need to train with pain.
 
What i will train and advise on 
 
* Lead walking
* Toilet training
* Crate training
* Recall training
* Socialisation and manners around other dogs
* Anti lunge training - for dogs who chase cars or are scared of and lunge at various items (often a collie problem) 
* Basic manners - sit, down, wait etc
 
Puppy socialisation
 
The optimum age for socialising a puppy is between 7 weeks and 16 weeks.  If you have a nervous or aggressive puppy i can help you turn them around before it becomes an ingrained habit.  I can either give you advice on turning your puppy around or i can take your puppy for socialisation sessions myself - the choice is yours.
