taking the lead
Taking the Lead is a website and service dedicated to helping you understand and
deal with dog behaviour and training problems. Taking the Lead believes in
positive training, and will never advocate the use of harsh training methods
that may physically or emotionally harm your four-legged-friend. I am a game
based “concept trainer” & Pro Dog Trainer through Absolute Dogs with Tom
Mitchell (qualified vet behaviourist), and Lauren Langman (competitor in agility
for Team GB). Over 35 years experience in Dog Behaviour & Training. Worked with
Dog Trust for many years as Training & Behaviour Advisor. Taking the Lead runs
regular dog training classes in Shoreham-by-Sea and also offers private training
and behavioural counselling sessions. See our training and behavioural services
section for more details. We also offer a number of free-to-read articles and
advice on many aspects of dog behaviour, dog training, dog health, and dog
communication. You can find these articles in our advice and information
section. See also our recommended books for more reading. Pay your respects to
the memories of deceased pets in our remembrance section.
