Introduction: I have over 20 years of experience as a multi-national law enforcement veteran and K9 handler and behaviorist. I employ non-punitive dog training and behavior correction or advice. I enjoy helping owners become closer to their K9 companions and helping correct issues that may otherwise have unfortunate detrimental consequences for the dogs or families involved. We need to strive to understand our pets more effectively, not shout at them more. Just to be clear, I am NOT a dog groomer, and do NOT offer 'Board and Train' for dogs. I believe they should be trained in the environment in which they are to live/work.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I price according to need and complexity of each case. It is not fair to price all cases the same when I may be able to give simple advice to correct an issue and that doesn't warrant a 'minimum fee'. I'd rather people enjoy their companions than worry about cost.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to speak at length with new customers and get a feeling for what issues are affecting the pets and their owners. I like to establish what may have led to any problem issues, and that the pets have been seen up to date by a qualified veterinarian, and that any health problems have been explored. Then we can make an action plan and apply corrective techniques to any problem behaviours or plan a training strategy. I want YOU to be involved in training your dog, not expect a trained dog 'in a box' at the end of the process. By understanding more of the training, you'll have a better relationship with your dog.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have over 25 years involvement with training and breeding dogs, from a pet owner right up to training and deploying dogs in an operational law enforcement role.
