But why should I train my dog?

When you train your dog it is the beginning of a relationship. You communicate with other members of your family so why not your dog?.

How long will the training take?

Training is an on-going process as all dogs learn at different speeds therefore there is no set time limit. If you attend one of our courses, and practice at home, then you should see a marked improvement by the end of a course.

At Four Paws we train only with positive and reward based training methods, when we are teaching your dog to do a “Sit” we reward him/her for doing the Sit. 

As time goes by and your dog begins to know the training skills, so we show you how to use different methods to reward your dog.

Remember Reward based training is not all about treats, there are other ways in which you can reward your dog, on our training courses and 1-2-1 Home Training sessions we show you how to use these skills.

Dogs are creatures of habit and if they have a good experience with something, then they are likely to repeat the behaviour… before you know it, your dog is sitting, staying, not jumping up, and leaving those things they shouldn’t be touching ,like your socks, slippers, TV remote control, or your mobile phone!

Remember..Whats get rewarded ..gets repeated..!

If you are unable to attend a weekly class we do offer 1-2-1  Home Training sessions, where we structure your training session to your own individual training needs.

After the session you are left with a 1-2-1 Training Pack that has all the essential training sheets that are relevant to your session, so you always have something to refer back to.

Then if you wish to further your training you can join us in a class environment, where you have the distraction of other dogs around whilst training .

We are always here for help and advice after your 1-2-1 session via Email, or phone.
