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.

The classes cost £50 for the 3 weeks and include handouts and videos to support you throughout the training.

The Level 2 Improver classes will start on Saturday 9th August so you can build on the skills you learnt in Level 1 - or if you just need a bit of fine tuning with your training you can start with this level straight away. These classes are designed for those dogs who already have the basic training and want to take it to the next level, with the distraction of other dogs around. It will cover more distance work so you can control your dog when they are away from you as well as some more advanced tips and tricks to help build a bond with your dog and how to work with prey drive.

They next class starts on Saturday 12th July at 1.50pm at Llanstinan Dog Park in Trecwn.

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.

  • Canine scent work also offers practical benefits, such as improving a dog’s recall skills. By participating in scent work, dogs develop a strong desire to stay close and engage with you, leading to enhanced recall abilities.
