I have also taught puppy and fun agility classes. Years of experience in scientific research have also given me a unique angle when dealing with behavioural problems.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\"><a style=\"color: #99cc00;\" href=\"https:\/\/caninewildwalks.com\/?page_id=115\">Check out testimonials here<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>My training is scientifically based and always follows a positive ethos. I believe wholeheartedly in positive reinforcement and building a strong bond between you and your dog. Training sessions at Canine Wild Walks do not use physical punishment, shock, spray or prong collars or any harsh treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Many behaviourists take on difficult dogs, and I am no exception. My three dogs, Stig, Zero and Ava were all rescued, Stig, a Staffie-Boxer (with a little Husky) came from a rescue centre after a difficult start on the streets as a stray. Zero, a Lakeland Terrier X Springer Spaniel came to me from Wales, after his original owner passed away. Last to join the family is Ava, a collie X staffi who spent her early life confined to a single room and had to learn how to walk on lead and not just stop and sit down when outside!<\/p>\n<p>All of them have been great trainers and taught me a lot, from basic manners to easing traffic chasing, nervous behaviours, guarding and above all how to manage a multi-dog household!<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in my experience and qualifications, please get in touch and I would be happy to talk through my previous work. I am always interested in ongoing personal development and keeping up to date with current training and behaviour research.
