Q: More info on in home dog training

The very best way to overcome obedience and behavioural issues in your dog is professional training in your home. Preemptive training will help to avoid problems before they occur while behaviour modification will address any long standing issues. In home dog training is your ticket to a happy, obedient dog! No two dogs are the same, so our in home dog training and behaviour sessions are tailored to the needs of your dog as an individual. During your session, we will first discuss your dog’s history, view the behaviour being shown and establish why it is occurring. We will then work through the problems you’re facing, focusing on educating and giving you the skills needed to restore harmony between you and your dog.

Q: More information on Nicki

How did you get started with dog training? I got started training with my German Shepard puppy Bella at Vets on Parker in 2013 and Chris was the trainer. What have you done professionally and personally with dogs? All my training and involvement with dogs has been done with Positive K9 Training, I first started training with my GSD Bella and my interest grew from there. What aspects of dog training and behaviour do you have particular interest in? I am most interested in obedience. I prefer a dog that is well behaved, rather than one that does tricks. What do you enjoy most about working with dogs? I love “problem children” & watching them & their owners “getting it”! Tell us a bit about your own dogs- Age, breed, what you enjoy doing with them? Bella is an almost 4yo GSD, she is my baby girl. I love just spending time with her either at home or out & about. She is so smart & easily trained. She has a wonderful personality & makes me laugh every single day! Yes she loves to run around at the park chasing balls, going for walks or just snuggling on the couch/bed. What are your best two pieces of advice you can give to dog owners? a) Breathe/Relax. It took me a long time to understand that. The dog doesn’t always know what you want. Don’t get frustrated. If you do, STOP TRAINING & RELAX. Dogs feel the tension. b) Be Consistent…..you can’t correct sometimes & not others. eg Don’t give him/her an old shoe to chew on & not expect them to chew up you $200 Nikes. They don’t know what is expensive & what isn’t. Give them their own dog toys.
