Jayne Tilley
We believe that all dogs and puppy training should be on a one to one basis toh ensure the best use of time and allows an individual approach tailored to needs
Behaviour Problems: A dog can develop many different problem behaviours such as pulling on the lead, barking excessively or be destructive. It may show fearful, aggressive, nervous, hyperactive or obsessive behaviours. It may be toileting in the house or jumping up at people. Many of these possible problems can be avoided with the correct puppy training however some dogs come into our families later in life.

Colin Tomlinson
Holistic dog training and behaviour management a tailor-made solution
What is ‘Holistic’ dog training? Well the word holistic means analysing all the components, looking at all the factors — physical, mental and social.
So applying this to dog behaviour, we can assess which combination of these factors is creating the symptoms. EG, could our dogs excessive vocalising or over enthusiastic greeting of visitors be down to 1). A hyperactive breed of dog. 2). Rewarding bad behaviour by the owner. 3). Incorrect diet. Or 4). Insufficient stimulation and exercise

Claire Usen
Her aim is to provide practical, workable solutions for you and your dog to better understand one another
Some clients opt for an accompanied ‘training walk’ for lead work and/or reactivity issues, others need a socialisation session with one or more of my dogs or volunteer dogs. I have clients who are looking to address one particular problem e.g. pulling on the lead, and there are others whose needs are more complex. Because I like to train in real-life situations and environments, I hold training sessions at the owner’s homes, on their typical day-to-day walks, or in appropriate local open spaces
