Classes

I run various classes across Pembrokeshire based on positive training methods.

Training your dog with positive reinforcement makes good behaviour much more likely, by using things our dogs enjoy such as treats! Training with rewards is all about teaching your dog that good things happen when they make a good choice. When your dog gets a reward, they will associate this with whatever they have just done, and will be more likely to do that same thing again next time.

Reward-based training is not only fun, but helps build a positive bond between you and your dog.

UK Sniffer Dogs Training

Canine scent work offers numerous benefits for your dog and you.

  • Engaging scent work can strengthen the bond between you and your dog, provide mental stimulation, enhance focus, and foster improved optimism when they succeed.
  • Participating in an activity that comes naturally to dogs can have a calming and relaxing effect, particularly for excitable, nervous, or reactive dogs. The enjoyment experienced during scent work contributes to the overall well-being of your dog, promoting a sense of fulfilment and joy.
  • Scent work can aid in strengthening the bond between you and your dog by providing an engaging and positive shared experience.
