What Warwickshire trainers can help with
- Puppy foundations: toilet training, socialisation, crate confidence, bite inhibition, gentle handling.
- Everyday manners: recall, loose-lead walking, “settle” on a mat, polite greetings, impulse control around doors/food/guests.
- Behaviour challenges: lead reactivity, excessive barking, separation-related issues, resource guarding, multi-dog tension.
- Confidence & handling: vet/groomer desensitisation, visitors at the door, noise sensitivity, car travel.
How good trainers get results (welfare first)
- Reward-based coaching: clear markers, shaping and easy, repeatable steps—no intimidation or pain.
- Behaviour modification: structured desensitisation + counter-conditioning to change how your dog feels before you change what they do.
- Flexible formats: 1-to-1 home visits, small group classes, outdoor field sessions, and remote check-ins with homework between lessons.
- Progress you can measure: written plans, realistic milestones, and vet referral when health may be involved.
Pro tip: Many owners complement positive training with no-shock tools (gentle vibration or citronella spray 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.
