Find a Dog Trainer in Leighton Buzzard

I specialise in helping nervous and fear-reactive dogs build their confidence so that walks go from “Nightmare Mode” to being a wonderful experience that both you and your dog enjoy. I do this with current science-backed methodology that is pain-free. What does that mean? What kind of dogs do I actually work with? I focus on one specific area: building confidence on walks. The dogs I work with display signs of being nervous, fearful or are otherwise unsure how to navigate through specific situations on walks. This can be something like seeing a motorbike, a man, another dog or a cat (commonly called their trigger), but their reaction tend to be one or a few of these: - They cower - They try to flee - They snuggle up to your side (without training for this). - They hide behind your legs. - They see their trigger (what they’re trying to deal with), find a bush/lamppost/tree and pee on it, or make a big show of checking the bush/etc out. - They growl. - They lunge. - They bark. - They lay down. - They show their side. - Their tail wags to their left. - They watch (the thing) too intently - Their mouth is closed and tense (whilst watching their trigger). - They rest their weight on their front legs and stand still. - The hair along their neck, spine or before the tail may stand on end. If your dog does any of the above when they see or hear a specific thing during walkies, then there’s a good chance I’ll say yes to helping you and your dog. I can help you remotely but you will be asked to do some video homework.
