Robin's working partners, Reason and Molly

Robin's approach to training stems from positive reinforcement within a holistic philosophy that focuses on the dog/human relationship.  Current trends in training focus on the principals and theories of operant conditioning - which fails to treat the dog as a whole.  This scientific approach ignores emotions.  To deny an animal's emotions is to distance yourself from him as a feeling being.  

Her experience of training people and dogs enables her to teach YOU how to train your dog the right way the first time and have fun doing it!  You can rely on Robin's experience, teaching methods and integrity to help you solve your dog training problems. 

Throughout training and beyond we will always be available to you through telephone, email or chat services.

TIPS FOR A WELL BEHAVED DOG!

• Start training your puppy early on

• Train your dog gently & humanely, using positive, motivational methods

• Avoid giving your dog commands that you can't enforce

• One command should equal one response

• Avoid giving combined commands - which are confusing

• Use your dog's name in a positive way rather than in reprimands, warnings or punishment.  He should trust you when he hears his name.

• KEEP A LID ON YOUR ANGER

Training should motivate your dog ~ 

not shut him down.
