Never leave your pet alone in the car!

We’d like to remind all dog owners to never leave their animals alone in the car, especially as dog theft is on the increase!  And remember, in summer, even cracking the windows won’t prevent temperatures inside the vehicle from reaching 60°C.

Our principles for working with dogs

Mutual trust

When our pet dogs trust us and they have undergone good training - then we trust them too.  It's a win-win!

A gentle touch

Animals are able to sense fear and uncertainty.  We will provide you with guidance as to how you remove any sense of uncertainty - both your and your dogs.

No punishment

Ethical treatment of animals is our top priority.  Our training methods and our objective is for pet dog owners to have a pet that is well behaved but a delight to live with.

Body language

Body language is so important - both the body language you use and the ability of reading that of your dog.  We will assist in you with this important issue.

Good behaviour

We pride ourselves in our ability to assist you to train your canine friend to become a well behaved companion.

A positive appoach

By using a positive approach to your training you will gain the trust of your animal and achieve positive results much faster
