Having a dog is a joyful experience but an untrained dog will put stress and anxiety on the whole family. At Cheshire Dog Services, we want to help you enjoy your dog so are happy to provide one to one training sessions for you and your dog. Having trained many different breeds from Chihuahua’s & Yorkies – Lab’s & Spaniels to Rottweiler’s & German Shepherds, I am well versed in handling most problems in any breed. I am also a member of The Guild of Dog Trainers who acknowledge the needs of dog owners & their aim of a well behaved dog. The Guild fully understands the expectation society places on dog owners & additionally the laws which affect them all. We live in an artificial environment, which can often pose many dangers to dogs. We invite pets into our home then punish or blame them for acting up like animals do. It’s our responsibility to teach our dogs what the social boundaries are and how to live in a human environment. Even though they become trusted family members, we need to remember that fundamentally they are animals and as beautiful and loving as they are, training is key to avoid behavioral problems that will inevitably crop up. Have you ever noticed when a trainer handles a students’ dog in class – the dog performs amazingly well? The dog then goes back to his owner and forgets all that was taught. This is all down to how you handle your dog. How you are able to read the smallest changes in their body language and posture and make the confident and correct adjustments according to what is required. As a dog trainer with many years worth of experience, my aim is to pass on my skills and as much knowledge as is possible to all of my valued clients. When you and I work together, your dog will learn FASTER! You will enjoy a better-behaved dog in a shorter period of time whilst still being actively involved in the process of teaching your dog. As your dog learns the necessary concepts with me, you will experience the benefit of reducing your own frustration within your own training sessions at home. I help both you and your dog come together towards a common goal of a happy life together. Puppy 1-2-1’s Pups are never too young to learn, their Mums teach them many things in the first 7/8 weeks before we take them into our lives. We need to continue to educate the pup so they know the boundaries we expect in order for them to fit into our human ways and for you to fully enjoy these wonderful creatures. Much can be done BEFORE they have had all their inoculations and are ready to walk outside. The key to effective training is teaching your pup that whenever he does something wrong, you immediately redirect him to what you expect and then reward for getting it right. Most of all, puppy training needs to be upbeat, consistent and rewarding with regular sessions practiced and integrated into your daily routine. What I’ll cover with you at your home are: Shaping behaviour Crating Basic obedience controls of Sit, down, stand, focus & wait. Recall set up, the most important command for all dogs without a doubt! The best type of equipment use to help with training, whistles for recall, training lines, reward pouches etc. Interactive play used to build bonds and value in you as the owner/handler through ball tugs, tugs and ropes. How to teach the pup to “leave it” Advice on leads, harnesses, treats, socialising, lead control Answer any questions you may have resulting to your puppy Adolescent and mature dogs 1-2-1’s Adolescence in dogs is reached by month 7-8 & the dog becomes fully mature by month 18. We’ll cover the following in our sessions or can focus on a specific need if requiredat’s r Obedience Heel-work so your dog walks nicely by your side and doesn’t pull. Wait / Stay commands for both obedience and safety Interactive play and bond building to aid recall Recall development is essential for all dogs big and small. “Leave it” command so the dog ignores what its told to leave Focus will allow a higher level of obedience. I believe positive reinforcement training is the best way to create a happy and confident dog who understands what is expected of them. I teach owners how to establish boundaries at home and employ problem behaviour prevention strategies from early puppyhood onwards. Training and behaviour problems are resolved without the punishment-based techniques that commonly result in fear, aggression, or deterioration of the bond between dog and owner. Instead I utilise positive methods based on well-established learning theories and behavioural science that are humane, practical and effective. I teach marker-based training, either with a clicker or word, combined with rewards of all kinds (e.g., food, toys, play, and praise). All my training sessions reflect a comprehensive understanding of the dog’s natural behaviour, and take into respect learning abilities as well as the dog’s mental and physical developmental stages. In my classes, I strive to create a relaxed and enjoyable learning experience as I believe that the human part of the equation needs as much support and understanding as the canine component. Most people learn more quickly when not subjected to criticisms and negative feedback and therefore, a positive approach to the training of the people is an integral part of all our classes.

Looking for selling sites like eBay? You've come to the right place. While eBay is a well-established online marketplace, exploring alternatives can open up a world of opportunities for both buyers and sellers. This comprehensive guide delves into the diverse landscape of online marketplaces, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each eBay alternative to help you find the perfect platform for your needs. Why Consider Selling Sites Like eBay? eBay has long been a dominant force in online commerce, but it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. Many buyers and sellers are seeking alternatives to eBay for various reasons, including lower fees, a more focused target audience, or a simpler, more user-friendly interface. Whether you're a seasoned seller looking for a change or a buyer searching for unique items, understanding the diverse range of available alternatives can help you optimize your buying and selling experience. Find Out More: https://litcommerce.com/blog/ebay-alternatives-for-sellers/ Unveiling the Top eBay Alternatives The online marketplace landscape is rich with options, each catering to different niches and preferences. Let's explore some of the leading contenders offering compelling alternatives to eBay. 1. Bonanza: The User-Friendly Marketplace Powerhouse Bonanza frequently tops the list of best eBay alternatives, thanks to its intuitive interface and competitive selling fees. This platform is a haven for sellers seeking a streamlined listing process and robust tools to promote their products. Buyers are drawn to Bonanza's clean layout and wide selection of unique and often handcrafted items. The platform emphasizes fostering positive buyer-seller relationships, making it an excellent choice for those who value personalized interactions. 2. Etsy: Your Destination for Handmade and Vintage Etsy has carved a unique niche as the premier marketplace for handmade goods, vintage treasures, and craft supplies. It cultivates a thriving community of artisans, collectors, and creative individuals, offering a distinctly different shopping experience compared to larger, more generalized platforms. Whether you're a buyer searching for one-of-a-kind creations or a seller specializing in handmade or vintage items, Etsy provides a dedicated space to connect with your target audience. 3. Poshmark: The Fashion Resale Revolution Poshmark has revolutionized the way people buy and sell pre-owned fashion. With its social media-inspired interface, Poshmark fosters a vibrant community of fashion enthusiasts. Features like "Posh Parties" allow sellers to showcase their items in real-time, creating a dynamic and interactive selling experience. Whether you're looking to declutter your closet, discover unique fashion finds, or build a following of fashion-forward individuals, Poshmark provides a dedicated platform focused exclusively on fashion resale. 4. Facebook Marketplace: Local Buying and Selling Made Easy Facebook Marketplace leverages the vast reach of Facebook to connect local buyers and sellers seamlessly. This platform offers a convenient and accessible way to buy and sell everyday items within your community, often eliminating the need for shipping. While it may lack the comprehensive buyer/seller protections found on more established platforms, its simplicity and local focus make it a valuable alternative to eBay for quick and easy transactions. 5. Craigslist: The Classifieds Cornerstone Craigslist remains a stalwart in the online classifieds space, boasting a massive user base and a wide range of categories. While its interface is more basic compared to other alternatives to eBay, its sheer volume of listings can unearth hidden gems and great deals. However, users should exercise caution and prioritize safety when conducting transactions on Craigslist due to its relative anonymity and lack of built-in buyer/seller protections. Discover More: https://vocus.cc/article/67bd4653fd89780001dff489 Choosing the Right eBay Alternative: Key Considerations With a plethora of apps like eBay and specialized websites available, selecting the right platform requires careful evaluation. Here are some key factors to consider: 1. Fee Structures: Understanding the Costs Involved Different platforms have varying fee structures, including listing fees, final value fees, and transaction fees. Carefully compare the costs associated with each platform to ensure they align with your budget and selling strategy. Understanding the fee structure is crucial for maximizing your profits and making informed decisions. 2. Target Audience: Reaching the Right Buyers Consider your target audience and choose a platform that caters to their specific interests and preferences. Are you selling vintage toys? Consider platforms specializing in collectibles. Are you selling handmade jewelry? Etsy might be a better fit. Aligning your products with the right platform ensures you reach the most interested buyers. 3. Ease of Use and Features: Navigating the Platform Some platforms are inherently more user-friendly than others. Evaluate the features offered by each platform, such as shipping integrations, buyer/seller protection programs, and dedicated customer support. Select a platform that provides the tools and resources necessary for a smooth and successful selling experience. 4. Niche vs. General Marketplaces: Focusing Your Efforts Decide whether a niche marketplace specializing in a specific category, such as Depop for fashion or Reverb for musical instruments, is a better fit than a more generalized marketplace like eBay. Niche marketplaces offer a more targeted audience and specialized features, while general marketplaces provide broader reach. See More: https://www.coolaler.com/forums/members/ebayalternative.341251/#about By carefully considering these factors, you can confidently choose the eBay alternative that perfectly aligns with your unique buying and selling goals. Exploring these alternatives can unlock new opportunities and enhance your overall online marketplace experience. Whether you're a seasoned seller or a curious buyer, taking the time to research and compare your options is essential for success in the dynamic world of online commerce.
