Edinburgh based Training Sessions:

• they are 1-2-1 only (although happy for one friend to come along + dog) and in person

• they are held at the location of your choice/ problem: at home, local park, streets, café

• I will ask for information about your dog before we meet so I can prepare the session

• payments due within 7 days of the session either bank transfer or cash on day

• I use positive rewards like food, toys and environmental reinforcers; food I’ll bring dried liver, fish and gluten free kibble

• there is only 1 training session per day (except Leith days, coming soon) so sessions can go as long as you like/need and can handle

• there is a 24 hours cancellation policy, £20 to be paid if cancelled too short of notice

• any biting history will need to be mentioned prior

• terms and conditions will be send prior to meeting, making a booking means you agree

• bullet points will be provided afterwards

• I always demonstrate first and then let you try, so I can point out any improvements required

My favourite mottos:

• Meet them where they’re at.

• Only say it once.

• If they can’t handle it, they can’t have it.

• Don’t let them rehearse the behaviour you want to eliminate.

• Always think of what they should do instead, not just stop it.

• You wouldn’t work for free. Positive rewards are needed to reinforce behaviour choices.

• Dogs do what feels good to them at the time.

• Dogs aren’t being difficult. They are having a difficult time.
