(Dog, human partner/s and dog trainer)
Reward based training / Obedience training / Dog life skills training
Positive dog training sessions in Witney, Oxfordshire and surrounds are geared to the unique needs and motivations of your individual dog and reflect your own wishes. The training is delivered at your dog’s pace, and will give you the chance to ask lots of questions. Behaviours can be ‘proofed’ (strengthened), gradually building up duration, distance and distractions so that your canine partner displays desirable behaviour in a wide range of different situations and environments. Some of this dog training may take place around other puppies and dogs as appropriate. Sessions include:-
I provide specialist as well as general obedience training. More intensive dog training in specific areas will give you a greater understanding of the underlying principles behind the training, the impact of instinctive and learned behaviour, how our own behaviour and body language can impact on the behaviour of our canine partners and how we can use this knowledge in a positive way to promote wellbeing, confidence, self-control and responsiveness in our canine companions. They also equip you with a greater range of kind techniques and fun activities to encourage and reward desirable dog behaviour. The number, frequency, duration and content of these positive dog training sessions is flexible to your dog's needs and your own wishes. Specialist dog training could focus on the following, and more.... please just ask:
- A commitment to positive and kind methods of dog training.
- Teaching a range of obedience prompts as required using timely interaction and positive reinforcement e.g. sit, wait, leave, come, off, heel and release.
- Assistance with ‘life skills’ as required e.g. calm meet and greet around people and other dogs; automatic sit at roads/crossings; learning to enjoy short periods alone.
- Fun exercises to provide mental stimulation in addition to physical exercise, and that strengthen the dog human bond.
- Enjoyable dog training activities that help prevent the development of natural but undesirable dog behaviour such as jumping up and guarding resources.
- Positive canine human interactions that encourage and reward focused, calm dog behaviour and self-control through consistent signals and reinforcement of desirable dog behaviour.
- Maximising potential, encouraging initiative and positive canine decision making.
