So you have a dog and some treats and you want to jump straight in to your training journey! Fantastic! Let us guide you along the way.
Before we start, lets cover some basics first. Learn why we use some training techniques and why others just don't work. Pick up ideas around what to teach your dog and why it matters. Understanding how dogs learn is key to making your training journey a success.
People often think about dog training as obedience. Your dog should do what you ask and that's the end of it. Dog training is so much more than that and actually it can be more helpful to think about it as a way to keep your dog safe, happy and to arm them with the life skills that they need to cope with our every-day human activity!

Every dog can be trained. Dogs are not stubborn or naughty, they are doing what comes naturally to them with the skill set that they have been given. Our job is to guide and look after them. The more we do that, the more fulfilling our relationships are with them.
