Colin’s Dog Behaviour & Training Services in Dorset

Dogs are an amazing species; they are an intelligent species and deserve to be treated as such. When raised and trained correctly, they can be wonderful companions, welcomed everywhere by the majority.

When things go wrong, they can be difficult to manage, suffer incomprehensible distress or even be dangerous! With knowledge, understanding, effort and time the problematic dog can become a pleasure. Fortunately dogs do live in the moment, and have far greater abilities than people to change completely.

In order to help change a dog’s problem the key is knowledge and desire to change – you have to ask yourself:

  • “Do you know how to do it?”
  • “Do you want to do it?”
  • “Will you do what it takes to do it?”

Training Methods

I can help provide you with the knowledge, skills and techniques, but YOU have to have the patience and drive to learn the skills and do what is necessary to make the changes in your canine partner, and enhance the relationship that you would want to see over the short, medium and hopefully long term.

I use principally reward based training methods, but as with children, dogs need consequences for actions – both rewarding and unrewarding. My goal is to improve the lifestyle of your dog and by default your lifestyle will improve. You will enjoy a greater bond with your dog and its relationship with you.

I believe that academic knowledge is important as well as hands on experience, as well as continuing ones professional development via courses, training, seminars and working alongside dogs.
