Do you sometimes feel uneasy about your dog's behaviour, such as hyperactivity or food stealing? Despite your best efforts, it's not uncommon for dog owners to face such challenges, often indicative of the pet’s unmet physical and/or emotional needs. At Pirate Dog, I offer expert dog behavioural services throughout Devon and Cornwall. Specialising in assessing, diagnosing and transforming problematic behaviours, I work with dogs and puppies of all shapes and sizes.
With an Advanced Canine Behaviour Level 4 Diploma from British College of Canine Studies, I’m also well placed to offer personalised advice and support to keep your dogs happy, healthy and on their best behaviour. I'm Canine First Aid Trained, DBS checked and insured, giving you the confidence to trust me with your pooch. For any questions or home visit requests, please get in touch with me.
HOW BEHAVIOURAL TRAINING WORKS
With many years of experience, I have successfully helped many adult dogs and puppies overcome a wide range of behavioural issues. I utilise modern dog training techniques with an emphasis on proven, ethical and science-based teaching Methods.
Through these methods, I aim to help you comprehend and tackle the root cause of your dog's behaviour. My commitment is to assist you in improving your dog's behaviour using gentler, more effective and proven approaches that foster trust and enrich your relationship. It's about building a stronger connection between you and your dog.
HELPING YOU BOTH LIVE YOUR VERY BEST LIVES TOGETHER
I provide a structured and tailored solution to any behavioural problems your dog may be having. Training should be fun and enjoyable for both dogs and their owners. This can be achieved for instance by using rewards and games in a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment.
Behavioural sessions require an in-depth understanding of history and a planned approach. I will guide you every step of the way to help you and your dog. Sessions vary in length due to the complexities involved. However, you will have ongoing support at all times.
1-2-1 DOG BEHAVIOUR CONSULTATION IN DEVON & CORNWALL
A 1-2-1 consultation initially takes place in your home, as this is where your dog is most relaxed and comfortable. During this time, I will assess your dog’s behaviour. We will discuss your dog’s issues and what you are experiencing with your dog. Depending on the issues that we are dealing with, we will then take your dog for a walk and start working on the problem with some training exercises. I will teach you all the tools you need to continue independent training after the consultation has ended.
Consultations vary in length due to the complexities involved. They can last up to 4 hours and are tailored specifically for you and your dog.
After the consultation, I will email you a personalised dog training plan that you can use as a reminder and guide to continue the training. I also provide ongoing free telephone or email support and advice.
Price - £100
If you feel that you would like me to assist with further training after the initial consultation or want me to do the training for you this is £25 per session (1-1.5 hours)
