I use science-based, force-free dog training methods.  I wholeheartedly believe that this approach is not only highly effective in bringing about positive behaviour change but also contributes to boosting your dog's confidence and overall happiness. My focus lies in nurturing a trusting relationship and strengthening the bond between you and your dog. 

Positive Reinforcement training technique revolves around the strategic use of rewards—whether it's tasty treats, engaging toys, happy praise, or life rewards—to reinforce desired behaviour. I purposefully steer clear of equipment or training methods that suppress behaviour, ensuring a training experience that's not only effective but also fun and uplifting!
