If you already have a dog and if your dogs behaviour is not as good as you would like, you are probably just as confused as your dog is. You need and want answers to your questions, you need to know why your dog is behaving the way it is. You have probably watched Cesar Milan or Victoria Stillwell trying to help dog owners on TV, you may have read their books, you may have read Jan Fennel, Bruce Fogel, Ian Dunbar etc but you still have problems.

We have known Steve for a few years now and he worked wonders with our last rottie, who had been badly treated with her previous owners- she had serious issues with people and other dogs and with a lot of patience and persistence Steve helped us help her to chill out and not see everyone and every dog as a threat. We now have another rottie puppy who is 6 months old and Steve is helping us teach her some manners, along with recall and walking on the lead nicely. I would certainly recommend his services to anyone who needs a hand training their best friend.

My boy Cooper is quite nervous of adults so i was a bit apprehensive about him being walked by someone. I shouldn't have been. Karoline is so patient with him and has worked tirelessly every week to build his confidence. He is now so excited to see her when she arrives and she can finally let him off lead to play with the other dogs. In fact he loves her so much that this week he didn't want to come home!

After a lengthy introduction from Amelia (Owner/Trainer) where all my questions were met honestly and professionally I was invited to view the training facilities and meet the team at InsyncK9. Very impressed by the qualifications and set up, deep in the countryside, surrounded by fields, of outside stables converted into heated individual kennels (also dogs can be housed in their family home if required) perfect for my type of GSD, and training paddocks, my very nervous 5 year old working strain GSD (who was developing aggressive lunging on the lead with people and dogs) spent 4 weeks with the InsyncK9 team working on a number of issues including lunging and pulling on the lead. After weekly updates and training videos I am very pleased to write how well my GSD has responded to the environment and residential training - I too have had expert coaching in a detailed handover from owners Amelia and John, in and outside of the training facility - to continue my dogs education. I now have a dog walking loosely on the lead, listening and responding to me and can see such a difference enabling him to have a much safer, contented future and support is there should I need to talk to the team again.I would highly recommend having an initial chat with Insynck9 about your dogs training requirements. Thank you to the team for training and caring for my dog like their own.

I found the the happy, calm, and carefree attitude very reassuring when I needed to leave my dog - the kind and understanding manner showed knowledge and empathy (as I had feared the separation) - my little boy was VERY well looked after and happy I would always chose to go here in future, and would recommend this place highly. Thanks Phil!
I have spent many years learning from training/behaviour courses, learning from experience when working with dogs/puppies. I love working with people and their pets to improve the relationship between the dog and its owner. It is very rewarding to be able to teach an owner how to handle a difficult situation, how to be a leader for the dog. And at the end to see a very relaxed dog in a loving household.

Why should I get a Dog Trainer?
Making sure your pup is trained properly really matters. Without the necessary groundwork, you’re risking your dog’s wellness and security, as well as the safety of any other dogs it comes into contact with. It’s also important your dog is trained so that it can integrate properly with you and your family. Keeping it out of trouble will save you a lot of hassle (and potentially costly repairs too).
Making sure your dog listens to commands is very important. Not only will handling it be less stressful, but it can stop dangerous conflict with other animals. Furthermore, if your dog doesn’t want to listen to you, situations such as dealing with traffic can potentially become fatal. On the upside, having a well-trained pup enables you and your pet to socialise properly with other dogs and their owners.
Having a dog that is obedient means that life around the home becomes plain sailing. With good manners, your dog will be able to tell the difference between right and wrong behaviour, while being able to foster good relationships with other members of your family. These connections can help to build a fruitful relationship with your pet as part of the family. Time well spent together will allow you to both grow together, sharing experiences and creating the type of memories that make having a pet so worth it.
How about becoming an authority figure yourself? Although your trainer will help your dog get up to scratch, they will also teach you a great deal about the fundamentals of dog training. This includes not only how to handle your own dog, but principals that you can use to understand and better interact with other dogs too. Being able to help out less-informed dog owners can be a wonderful gift to have, and something that you can take further if you enjoy it.
Having a well-trained dog also means that taking your pet to the veterinarian will be a lot easier than it would be otherwise. Considering the nature and volume of work that they have to do, being a vet is tough, let alone dealing with an uncooperative pet in their surgery. In some cases, dogs can become violent when approached by a vet – definitely something they don’t need. By having your dog properly trained, you can avoid injuries – for both your dog and your vet – as well as unnecessary embarrassment upon visits.
How do I pick a Dog Trainer?
When hiring someone to train your dog, there is plenty to think about. The needs of both you and your pet have to be considered and so taking some time to sit down and work out what is important to you is a must. Down below are a few of the questions you might ask when it comes to finding the right dog trainer –
Should I go for group or private training? Each comes with pros and cons – those with a brand new dog can expect their pet to socialise and start to develop relationships with other dogs.
Does my dog need generalised training or would training in a specific area suit it better? One example of this is if your dog has an issue with barking, or separation anxiety. In these cases, someone that can specialise in tackling these issues would be optimal.
Do I need long-term training or do I need a quick fix? Goals such as conditioning your dog for agility or developing a routine will need more time with a trainer.
You should also take care to see what type of strategies your trainer uses. There are a wide variety of techniques that can be applied in order to change your dog’s behaviour – but not all of these involve kindness and care. It’s good to talk to prospective trainers about the ways in which they choose to teach your dog, including methods of both discipline and praise. Techniques such as positive reinforcement are very beneficial for dogs and are particularly powerful, while being enjoyable for them.
While your dog is your priority, how you communicate with your trainer is important too. Your trainer’s should be able to translate their understanding into constructive advice. A good trainer can tell you both what is working in terms of training your dog, and what isn’t. This includes passing on insights of what to do to correct certain issues, while conveying these ideas in a constructive, friendly way. In order to do this, a trainer needs to not only be able to express themselves clearly, but also be diplomatic and observant.
How much does a Dog Trainer cost?
There are various ways in which you can choose to train your dog. Some owners opt for private lessons, while others will put their dog through group daycare.
Group sessions are valuable not only because they are more budget friendly, but also because they are better as a long-term option. This is because your pet will have time to get to grips with a wider variety of commands. However one-on-one training provides your dog with lessons that are specially tailored to their needs, helping them learn in the best way for them.
There are also the various levels of obedience training to take into account. As well as classes specifically for puppies, there are basic educational classes, adult training, agility and advanced tutoring. Which of these you go for can affect pricing, as well as how quickly your dog learns (depending on its needs and comprehension).
Can I hire a Dog Trainer online?
Yes! You might be surprised to hear that dog training can be done remotely, through online video platforms like Zoom. They can take the form of group sessions or one-to-one classes to tackle certain individual behavioural issues. Many customers prefer online dog training for all sorts of reasons, like saving on travel time and costs.
