ABOUT ME:
ABOUT ME:
My name is Richard and I am a professional Dog Handler/Instructor with 36 years experience of training dogs to a high standard.
It is my belief that every dog needs to be cared for, understood, trained and treated as a family member and respected. Don't forget that they give us their unconditional love and this must not be abused. My training methods are reward based and I use Positive reinforcement to achieve results. 1-2-1 training at your home or local environment teaches you to teach your dog. This way you learn how to handle, speak, reward your dog in the correct way and correct time. It is extremely satisfying to start with an untrained dog and in no time have a well rounded and obedient dog. I am very patient in my training and never judge people, only help and advise, after all I had to start from the beginning.
