We will travel within a reasonable distance to assist you and your dogs. Downham Market, Kingslynn Wisbech, Littleport. We believe we offer our clients the perfect combination! George has spent more years than he cares to remember working as a police dog instructor, Jacqi is a canine behaviourist, both qualified with canine first aid. Jacqi has just completed a certificate in dog law and is in the process of qualifying as a competitive obedience instructor, she is also a volunteer dog walker for The Cinnamon Trust. The cross over between training and behaviour correction is a very thin line, often a trainer can exacerbate what appears as bad behaviour because they don't necessarily understand where the behaviour has come from, or how to correct it. George & Jacqi will both come to your session and their own dogs have a big part to play too. If your dog has socialisation problem or is reactive to dogs, Otter is used to
help, Jacqi will read his body language as well as your own dogs, ensuring that your dog is always feeling safe and un-threatened. If you're new to training you will observe Minky and then work with her, its really good for you to learn and gain confidence with a dog that can do it, you'll then fully understand what your dog could do with just 5 minutes training a day. Radar works with dogs afraid of larger breeds, in this scenerio Jacqi works Radar at a distance comfortable for your dog whilst George works with you and your dog. New to the team is labradoodle Womble. She's only a pup so hasn't done much work yet but she has been instrumental in helping another youngster finds his confidence. The aim is for her to train up and allow Minky to retire in a couple of years. Jacqi & George don't spend the first session going through paperwork, anything they need to know will come out during conversation and because they read dogs, they will get information from your dog to. If any additional information is needed, that will be done outside of your session and there is no charge. You will receive follow up notes after your first session, as well as useful handouts. They have devised their own progressive training programme for you to follow if you wish and it covers a bit more than obedience training. If your dog is a family dog, you are all more than welcome to the session. Sessions are 1:1 at suitable training venue with. They like training to take place out in the big wide world, dealing with anything and everything within the environment. 1:1 means no waiting around for other dogs and you get exactly what you need. Some problems occur at home so they also do house visits as well as pre-jab puppy visits as so much work can be done with a puppy before they venture out.
