There's no such thing as a bad dog...

Our motto is - There's no such thing as a bad dog. Any problems with dog behaviour is almost always to do with poor training, lack of boundaries, and issues around the physical and /or psychological environment of the dog. Essentially, it's more to do with what you are or aren't doing in your day to day interactions with your dog. We can teach you to better understand your dog's behaviours and needs, and demonstrate the kind of productive interaction all dogs need to be balanced and healthy. We only use compassionate, caring and gentle methods that are results-orientated, that brings out the highest potential in your dog.
