Dog training and behaviour service

Canine Potential is a positive dog training and dog behaviour service based in Witney, West Oxfordshire.  I'm a qualified canine behaviourist and dog trainer committed to kind methods of dog training and behaviour management that reflect the needs and motivations of your individual puppy, adolescent, or adult canine.  I'm passionate about dogs and about supporting people to maximise their dog's potential.  I'm able to help with dog behaviour training sessions and can also provide remote help and guidance via video software.  If you need help, please get in touch!

Dog training Witney Oxfordshire - help your dog meet their potential!

One to one dog training sessions can engage your puppy or older canine in fun and enjoyable canine training activities that encourage focus, self control and that build on the bond and trust between yourself and your dog through positive reinforcement. All dogs are individuals and progress at different rates. One to one dog training that is tailored to your dog's needs and goes at their pace will help your pup make progress. Puppy training sessions can also provide invaluable advice on the socialisation and habituation needs of your young pup. This is hugely important in optimising your puppy’s development, and in their future confidence and adaptability. Positive dog training sessions are available for dogs of all ages including rescue and older dogs and dogs with special needs such as hearing or sight impairment.  Your puppy, adolescent or older dog can be encouraged to take the initiative and make positive decisions about their own behaviour.  Any dog in need of some extra canine coaching is very welcome!  1-2-1 dog training is available in Witney, Oxfordshire, Burford, Charlbury, Abingdon, Woodstock, Bicester and other surrounding areas.  

Dog behaviour support Oxfordshire - promoting calm and positive interactions 

Canine behaviour consultations can help you to manage and address dog behaviour issues. This will involve actively listening to your concerns and assessing your dog's behaviour and the underlying factors that may be influencing this. Observation of your dog's body language and their interactions is an essential part of this behavioural assessment process. I can then work with you to develop a flexible canine behaviour plan in which commitment, consistency and building positive associations for your dog will be central. Dog behaviour support will include practical and kind strategies to manage and modify your dog's behaviour. It will also include demonstrating these strategies, helping you to understand your dog's body language and behaviour, as well as providing you with a written dog behaviour plan and support between visits. Dog behaviour training should hopefully result in a canine companion who is both happier and easier to live with. To help you address canine behaviour problems I can travel within a 30 mile radius and cover Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and other surrounding counties.
