ABOUT
Canine Ambassador is the new pioneering dog and puppy training programme which aims to take dog guardianship in the UK to a new level. Promoting responsible dog guardianship, with dogs who are happy, well balanced, comfortable in day to day life and the world around them. Whilst working within the dog industry it was apparent to our trainers there was a gap in the market for a programme which covered guardian education and responsibilities, environmental conditioning, obedience and most importantly, the emotional and physical well-being of the dog. A comprehensive dog and puppy training programme which has been created aiming to develop the dog you can take any place any time, meeting legal requirements and public expectations in terms of the control that a handler has over their dog's behaviour. The programme by Canine Ambassador is unlike any other, and designed to be fun for both dog and guardian, with sessions held in a variety of accessible, central locations. LEARN MORE
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Here at Canine Ambassador, we focus on more than just the sit, stay and basic commands. Life experiences and relationships are just as important as obedience. An obedient dog may follow instructions, but a well behaved, worldly dog needs less instruction in it's life. We use relationship based training methods and the vast majority of our training is positive reinforcement reward based. However, we understand that dogs like every other mammal on this planet learn from both positive and negative consequences. Therefore unwanted, aggressive behaviour doesn't go unchecked, using minimal aversives. We always aim to teach an alternative behaviour and coping skills once the aggression has been interrupted. We focus on good leadership, not domination and don't believe in the old Alpha tales that dogs walking ahead of us or going through doors before us is that of a dog dominating the handler. It's simply not true! With a strong focus on handler education through short videos, and a free copy of our digital handbook - which aims to answer each and every question about dog welfare, behaviour and development - we strive to be the middle ground between the traditional dominance based training and positive only methods. Relationship between dog and handler is crucial for communication. Our aim is for a dog that favours the relationship with the handler. Not one that causes your dog to be attracted to or defensive of every dog it sees or encounters. We practice fun relationship building and obedience exercises, but we also encourage discipline and respect within the relationship, which we believe to be crucial to a well adjusted dog that can go anywhere, anytime.
