Dogs are loyal and loving companions, but sometimes a dog behaviour can become a problem. Whether it's basic obedience, reactivity, dog aggression towards other dogs or people, loose lead walking, or lack of manners and social skills, these issues can make it challenging to have a well-behaved dog. Fortunately, our Behaviour Modification Residential Course is here to help.
Tailored to Your Dog's Behaviour and Requirements
Our Behaviour Modification Residential Course is designed to cater to your dog's specific behavior and needs. Every dog is unique, and what works for one may not work for another. Therefore, our course is tailored to your dog's individual behavior and requirements. Our experienced trainers will evaluate your dog's behavior and create a personalized training plan to address any issues.
Basic Obedience
Basic obedience is the foundation of good behaviour in dogs. It includes commands such as sit, stay, come, and down. These commands are not only essential for your dog's safety but also for their overall well-being. Our trainers use positive reinforcement techniques to teach your dog basic obedience, making the learning process enjoyable for your furry friend.
Reactivity
Reactivity is a common behaviour problem in dogs, where they react aggressively or fearfully towards certain stimuli, such as other dogs, people, or loud noises. This behaviour can be dangerous and can lead to unwanted situations. Our trainers use desensitisation and counterconditioning techniques to help your dog overcome their reactivity and become more confident and calm in different situations.
Aggression to Dogs and People
Aggression towards other dogs or people is a serious behaviour issue that needs to be addressed immediately. It can be caused by fear, anxiety, or a lack of socialisation. Our trainers have experience in dealing with aggressive dogs and use positive reinforcement techniques to modify this behaviour. They also work on building your dog's confidence and teaching them appropriate ways to interact with other dogs and people.
Loose Lead Walking
Does your dog pull on the leash and make walks a frustrating experience? Loose lead walking is an essential skill that every dog should learn. Our trainers use reward-based techniques to teach your dog to walk calmly on a loose leash. They also work on teaching your dog to focus on you and ignore distractions while on walks.
Manners and Social Skills
A well-mannered and socially skilled dog is a pleasure to be around. Our trainers work on teaching your dog basic manners, such as not jumping on people or begging for food. They also help your dog develop social skills by introducing them to controlled and supervised interactions with other dogs and people.
Controlled Relaxation
Dogs, like humans, also need to learn how to relax. With our Controlled Relaxation training, we teach your dog how to calm down and relax on cue. This is especially helpful for reactive or anxious dogs who need to learn how to remain calm in stressful situations.
