Welcome! (Site Under Construction)
If you're like us, your pets become family members, it could be the best testiment to this dog that has just come in to your life, if you could look back in years to come and think this was the best dog we have ever owned, because of the time dedicated to train a furry critter to be your companion.
There are lots of dog owners that just survive having a dog, instead of being part of the family. Dogs that are not people or dog friendly, limits when and where the dog can go with you.
Dogs with no manners are generally not welcome in our friends or families homes.
Having a family friendly dog takes a great deal of patience, time, and hard work to achieve.
A Dog's ABCs can assist you develop:
- Manners that make them acceptable companions to share our home.
- The ability to welcome family and friends without greeting them with paws on shoulders.
- Coping skills when over anxious or stressed
- Appropriate alerts when others approach
- Understanding basics of reward based training
- Socialisation around people and other dogs
- Strategies to keep your dog positively entertained whilst home alone
The training that we give is reward based which has proven to be the most satisfying for both owners and dogs.
No slip collars or chains are to be used or worn by the dogs during our training sessions.
We put a great emphasis on working and using calming methods to attain results that are achievable by family members.
The dogs must always be on a secure lead.
