FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kind of training do you offer?

As a specialist dog trainer in Wigan, I offer both obedience training and behaviour modification training to suit dogs of all ages in a variety of packages. For further information, please visit my blog page.

Do you work with aggressive dogs?

Yes I do work with aggressive dogs. 

What do the Packages consist of?

In general the packages consist of both 1 on 1 sessions and group work.

Are you insured?

Yes. With Pet Business Insurance.

What if my dog does not like treats?

No problem. Play and praise is a great way to reward dogs.

How will my dog benefit from the training?

Your dog will benefit in the following ways: 1. The training will put you in a leadership position in your dog’s eyes, and that will give them confidence. 2. Dogs are animals that would normally live in a hierarchical society with a role to fulfill within that. The training process gives them a job to do and so satisfies that innate drive. 3. All dogs need to be stimulated and challenged mentally for them to be balanced and happy. The training process will accomplish this important factor. 4. You dog will have off lead freedom!

When can training begin?

Positive reinforcement training begins with puppies when they have had their inoculations, about 10 weeks old. For e-collar training the rule we follow is once the dog is 5 months of age or over.

What kind of behavioural problems do you deal with?

Most of them. If we think we can help then we will.  Each dog will be assessed on its individual merits and a solution will be formulated that will suit the needs of the dog and the owner.

Do you work with all dog breeds?

Yes.
