Testimonial – Dog training Bailey the Shar Pei. · 24 January 2012
I have been training with Damian for 4 months now and saw improvements from day one. Bailey is a typically strong willed and often stubborn Shar Pei, but with some excellent guidance from Damian in both our one on one training and group classes, we have made great progress in our training. I have always [...]
Home dog behavioural visit with Ruby the Springer Spaniel to help with recall. · 18 January 2012
Ruby is owned by Lisa and her family and attends my weekly dog training class. As with many working Springer Spaniels Ruby has problems with recall whilst out in the fields and, after talking with Lisa it was clear that Ruby is allowed to pretty much do as she pleases. There is very little structure within the [...]
Dog aggression from a Cocker Spaniel. · 6 January 2012
Ian and Bernie contacted me after serious concerns over the aggression their 3 year old Golden Cocker Spaniel Oscar displayed towards other dogs. As with all enquiries I receive I ensure that, before seeing the dog, I discuss the situation in full to make sure I match the method of training and environment to the particular behaviour. In [...]
Dog Training with Max the rescue Labrador Retriever, Preston, Lancashire · 2 January 2012
I first met Max in December when I was called to his home to help his owners to ensure Max’s structure was one that created a positive relationship. Max came to live with Tony and his wife after he was offered for sale because he was deemed unsuitable as show dog and, at 6 months, he was excessively [...]
Dog training for dogs with behavioural problems, anxiety and nervousness on the lead. · 29 December 2011
Today I spent the day helping my friend and client Ilona with her pack of dogs that consists of 2 Wolfdogs, 2 German Shepherds and a Dogue De Bordeaux. The goal of the day was to help with various training issues and socialisation of the dogs in a busy environment. The environment I recommended was Lytham, which at this time [...]
Sibling behavioural problems with Oscar and Micky the Border Terriers. · 30 November 2011
When purchasing a dog it’s important to spend as much time research the breed. Dogs are pack animals and have a strong pack structure the behavioural traits of breed can vary significantly. It’s also important to remember that dogs are born into a pack structure and form a pack hierarchy very quickly, when we introduce [...]
Dog/Gundog training with George the German Shorthaired Pointer. · 4 November 2011
George is 7 years old and his owner Katie arranged to come and see me because of George’s behaviour towards customers who approach him when he’s at Katie’s pet shop. He can be a touch snarly and assertive at times and Katie also believes that he is fearful and nervous around men. We had a [...]
Dog behavioural problems with Oscar and Micky the Border Terriers. · 3 November 2011
These feisty 8 month old brothers belong to Claire, Jim and their son Jake and are beginning to dictate to their owners as well as being generally bad mannered when greeting visitors and pulling on their leads when on a walk which is why I received a call. Jim has owned dogs before but has experienced problems and doesn’t want [...]
Lead control with Bailey the German Shepherd. · 3 November 2011
Graham and Bailey have been attending my Training classes at Oakhill Veterinary centre on a Wednesday evening and, until recently have been progressing well. When I asked Graham how Bailey was behaving away from the confines and structure of the class he told me that he was, at times, struggling to control Bailey’s incessant barking [...]
Lead training and dog behavioural training with Buster & Barney the Labradors. · 13 October 2011
Buster and Barney are two chocolate Labradors aged 6 and 5 respectively and have been ruling their home for long enough so their owners Phil and Alison decided to give me a call. The main areas that are causing Phil and Alison problems is the boys’ excessive pulling on the lead and lack of attention off the lead which [...]
Behavioural home visit with Darcy the Boxer X rescue dog. · 24 September 2011
Darcy is a rescue dog who has recently been re-homed by Katie and her partner and is causing some problems for her new pack. Katie contacted me because Darcy was lunging towards other dogs, jumping up and being very vocal and bolshie. With rescue dogs it’s easy for new owners to feel sorry for the dog [...]
Behavioural Home Assessment with Missy the Chihauhua. · 15 September 2011
Missy is a feisty little lady who currently owns Sarah and Chris. She is very strong-willed and recently embraced freedom by running across a main road scaring Sarah and Chris enough to call me. The common mistakes owners of small dogs make is to treat them as babies and not as a dog who is [...]
Aggression Behavioural Problems with Bailey the Shar Pei. · 13 September 2011
Bailey is 1 year old and has developed a very bad habit of barking at other dogs when walking with his owner Melissa. Barking at other dogs is a common behaviour that many owners experience and one that can quickly develop into an unsociable and unwelcome problem if not corrected. When walking with Bailey Melissa [...]
Puppy Behavioural Assessment with 12 week old Trevor the Beagle. · 9 September 2011
”Spoilt for choice” is a phrase that springs to mind when I see Trevor with his toy selection. In my opinion this amount of choice for a dog is unnecessary and can cause problems. Dr Bruce Fogle writes “Don’t overwhelm your dog with toys. Initially provide a maximum of three, each with a unique “feel” in the [...]
Behavioural Problems with Baxter the Labrador. · 8 September 2011
Vicky and Chris arranged for me to visit Baxter at their home after a referral from a member of staff at ‘Pets at Home’ Neither of Baxter’s owners have had a dog before and although they have provided the best for him it’s fair to say that they have been a little unprepared for the amount of problems [...]
