What local trainers can help you fix

• Puppy foundations: toilet training, socialisation, crate confidence, bite inhibition, gentle handling.
• Life skills: recall, loose-lead walking, settle on a mat, calm greetings, impulse control around doors/food/visitors.
• Behaviour challenges: lead reactivity, excessive barking, separation-related issues, resource guarding, multi-dog tensions.
• Confidence & handling: vet/groomer desensitisation, noise sensitivity (Metro/traffic/fireworks), visitors, car travel.

How great trainers get results (the modern way)

• Reward-based methods: clear markers, shaping and simple step-by-step plans—no intimidation or pain.
• Behaviour modification: structured desensitisation + counter-conditioning to change how your dog feels before you change what they do.
• Formats to suit real life: 1-to-1 home visits, small group classes, outdoor field sessions, and remote check-ins with homework.
• Welfare & progress: written plans, measurable goals, realistic timelines, and vet referral where health might be involved.

Pro tip: Many owners complement positive training with no-shock tools (gentle vibration or citronella spray dog collars) as a clear attention cue for recall or “leave it.” Keep intensity low, pair every cue with rewards, and follow your trainer’s guidance.
