Dogs love to learn particularly when their young – same as kids! And like they are all different and respond to different types of encourage and techniques different breeds and personalities play a role.  Different dogs respond types of ‘triggers’ – find out what your dogs trigger is and your one your way to having a fabulously behaviour dog.

Many people say that their dog was too stubborn or slow, or hyper to teach – we say you haven’t found the stimulus to encourage them to do things for you, with easy dogs to teach that can simply be food but that doesn’t work for all.

For more difficult dogs you will need a better understanding of what their trigger is and how to use it to your advantage. These more difficult dogs are often more naturally more independent and act on their intuition and self interest. Often the volunteer based Dog Schools and organizations haven’t the skills and offer the individual attention to help people with dogs that are not ‘easy’.

A dogs intelligence is irrelevant as I believe results on intelligence will be bias towards the particular type of test they are taken.

While we believe that a dog must be told when they are misbehaving, we generally base all our dog training methods on positive reinforcement, but never use any harsh methods of discipline!
