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.

Yes I do work with aggressive dogs. I have a proven system of training that I was taught by an American dog trainer and behaviourist. This system is like no other in  that it completely eradicates any aggression from the dog, leaving them social and happy.  

Yes I do. Please go to the Training Packages section for further information, or alternatively either fill out a contact form with any questions that you would like answering or even better just give me a call.  

That depends on what package you purchase. The basic package is 4 sessions spaced over 4 weeks, for example. The Aggressive Dog package can take between 3 and 6 sessions depending upon the mindset of the dog and progression of the training. 

Yes. With Pet Business Insurance.

That depends on the package that you require. Please fill in the Contact Form or feel free to call me to discuss your needs. You can also view what’s on offer in the Packages section.

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

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!

Both you and your dog will require a minimum of 30 minutes training each day to formulate new ways of behaving. The training journey is a mutual learning process for you both, where you will learn to interact with one another in a organic process that will result in you becoming a skillful handler worthy of your dog’s trust. If you require information on how the training can be incorporated in to your daily schedule just ask when booking your training package. 

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

All of them. 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.

You will see an improvement immediately and that will be built on over the following sessions and beyond.

Yes. I offer private 1 on 1 sessions that begin in your home. I also have an indoor training facility that I use when required. 

Yes.

It is common in the world of dog training to have to utilise various techniques of training for different dogs and their aptitudes. I have not yet failed to communicate to a dog effectively.

You may do, and that will be determined by the type training that you undertake. This will be discussed in detail prior to booking any training packages.
