Take The Lead

I am a dog owner just like you, owning four dogs in total so far (two from puppies and two current rescues). I followed the conventional dog training route with my first two dogs, attending local puppy training classes (teaching reward-based training). But I learned the hard way, through having behavioural issues with my second dog, that conventional training methods aren’t always enough to ensure that your dog turns out to be balanced and well-behaved. Sometimes a different approach is needed. When things went wrong, I did extensive research and tried all sorts of training methods, but none dealt with my dog’s over-excitement, lead pulling, dominance and strong hunting instinct. Until I stumbled upon a different approach – training the ‘dog’ way. The best teachers of dogs are dogs themselves. Respecting this and learning their ways transformed my unruly second dog’s behaviour and gave me the skills to rehabilitate my two current rescue dogs.
