One-to-One Behavioural Training

Behavioural Training Programme – Home based

Dogs aren’t born badly behaved, life and temperament shapes them – just like us. Your dog’s natural temperament, combined with how you are as an owner will drive its behaviour. We work with you to deal with the issues you’re experiencing by coming into your home and observing you and your dog. We will then identify which course of action is best for you and your dog.

At the end of the first session which lasts 2 and a half to 3 hours, you will almost always see a remarkable difference in your dog’s behaviour.Most dogs have easy going temperaments, it is a small percentage (the over confident or the nervous, timid and fearful) that can be a bit more challenging to handle. Many re-homed and rescue dogs carry baggage, just like us, and so they need careful, sensitive handling. Nervous, timid dogs – whether from a rescue home or not – get scared more easily in life and sometimes that fear shows as excessive anxiety / destruction and on occasion can cause a dog to show aggression. This is where being a behavioural therapist and a dog trainer makes Pawsitive Solutions stand out: working closely with the needs of our clients we teach you to understand how your dog thinks and show you how to communicate effectively.

The One to One service is the most rewarding programme offered by Pawsitive Solutions. The issues created by challenging dogs cause enormous anxiety and stress to owners. They love their dogs yet could have had complaints from councils and neighbours about excessive barking or the dog may have shown aggression to another dog. Sometimes friends stop visiting because of the dogs over exuberance. We can help because we believe that ANY dog can be transformed from stressed and unhappy to calm and happy. In fact neighbours often wonder if the dog has gone because the barking has stopped.

Pawsitive Solutions home coaching programme will allow you to say goodbye to any or all of the following issues:

• Excessive barking at the door and window or at the Postie
• Separation anxiety
• Aggression to people, other dogs and even you
• Obsessive compulsive behaviour such as car and jogger chasing
• Inappropriate toileting in the home
• Constant jumping, lead pulling and lunging
• Guarding food and toys
• Destruction both inside and outside the home
• Poor recall or selective deafness

What is included in the programme?

• Travel to you and work in your home and surrounding area
• Scheduled package of home visits as required
• Unlimited e-mail and telephone support between visits
• Written training plan and supporting training handouts
• You only pay once. You have peace of mind knowing that continuous support (if you need it) is included as part of your programme.

What happens?

• After an initial assessment on our first visit, we will explain what is causing your pet to misbehave. You will start to see life through your dog’s eyes and understand what makes him/her ‘tick’.
• We show you how to use your dog’s natural learning method. The results are quick.
• We will then work on the issues needing attention in and outside the home including lots of practice situations.
• Everything you are taught is as close as possible to how a pack animal learns. We do not use harsh training methods or physical force of any kind. We know that patience and praise works and this is how your dog will learn to respect you.
• We leave you with a written plan with clear practice instructions to carry out between visits.
• All dogs are individuals and some behavioural issues sort very quickly but others can take a bit longer. It is important the programme is adhered to and practiced daily.
• Our personal commitment is to give you as much help and support as you need to establish or regain a happy and rewarding relationship with your dog.
• We also like you to have fun when training, the more you relax and enjoy what you do the more your dog will relax as well.
