| 14. Is there anything else we should know about you and your dog training business? | Along with my family, dogs are my passion. Learn the right signals, speak dog. I provide practical, positive and natural solutions to the issues you are having with your dog’s behaviour. I use only positive training methods. No ‘Alpha Rolling’ techniques (forcibly rolling your dog onto it’s back), choker chains, shock or spray collars. I approach the problem you are having with your dog’s behaviours from your dog’s perspective, explaining to you what is really going on. With this insight, you can then undertake a personalized Behavioural Modification Plan written for you (and demonstrated), towards a happy, content canine family member and usually a calmer human family also ;-) |
