Advice and guidance for a well balanced dog

Pedmore Dog training, helping you help your dog.

Advice on behaviour and training tailored to fit both you and your companion animal as individuals and as a social group. What you require from your dog, and indeed what they require from you!

Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to visit my web site. Pedmore Dog Training was created by myself to assist the people of Pedmore, Stourbridge, Hagley and the surrounding areas, to get the most from their dogs, and in doing so allow both them and their dogs to get the most out of life!


Quite often there are very simple changes that can be made in the interaction between you and your dog that will reap great reward for you both.

Experience

As the desire of the dog owning community to know more with regards to what it takes to unlock the mysteries of the dog’s mind increases, so to has their demand for a more proven, scientific and humane approach from dog trainers and dog behaviourists.


Gone is the belief of many that you can rid your dog of any unwanted behaviour by simply showing it who is boss, and rolling it on it’s back! There is a growing expectation amongst dog owners, and rightly so, that the problems that they and their canine companions are living with should be dealt with by way of structured behavioural modification techniques, not with the outdated, punitive methods and beliefs that have held dog training back for many years.


No methods of training are without punishment. You only need to withhold a treat from a dog and see the expression in it’s face to realise this! Pedmore Dog Training offers responsible dog owners across the midlands area access to modern reward based methods of training and behavioural modification.


Owners can discuss their concerns with us in the privacy of their own home, where their dog will be assessed, and a thorough functional assessment interview completed.

 

There is no better place to assess the unwanted behaviour of a dog than in the environment in which it occurs.

Complex behavioural issues may be dealt with by way of a detailed, easy to follow, modification programme for you to apply in you own time, with support from ourselves. All behavioural problems can be addressed, from toilet training to chewing, separation distress to aggression, comprehensive and honest feedback and advice will be offered.

For training issues, such as basic obedience and puppy training, you may wish to take advantage of a number of our one hour home visits.

Appointments are made with flexibility in mind, to take people’s busy life styles into account, arranged so to take the ability of both dog and human companion into consideration.

I am experienced in training a variety of breeds in a variety of roles from basic obedience for pet owners, to the training of security and service dogs. I am a full member of the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers. I have an in depth knowledge of dog legislation, and have assisted the RSPCA and local authorities in tackling dog fighting and cruelty on many occasions.

I have studied, and continue to study, canine psychology and behaviour. I am a great believer that you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Training tailored to the needs of you and your dog

Just as we are all individuals, so are our dogs. Subsequently, all training, guidance and advice you receive from myself will be tailored to fit the kind of individuals you both are, and what you require from your dog, and indeed what they require from you! .Bella and Roxy

Their owners are also very aware of people’s perception of some breeds, and like the responsible owners they are, they sought advice and guidance.

Bella and Roxy, pictured here, fulfil two roles for their owners. Firstly and foremost, they are companions, members of the family, but like all of us, their owners want to feel safe in their own home, and Bella and Roxy go a long way to ensuring that. Their owners are also very aware of people’s perception of some breeds, and like the responsible owners they are, they sought advice and guidance.

Realistic & Achievable

There is no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners”. If only it were as simple as that. How many of us would have passed our driving test without any lessons?.

We have all heard the saying, “There is no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners”. If only it were as simple as that. How many of us would have passed our driving test without any lessons? Not many I suspect. Good dog ownership is the same, whether it be seeking advice from a family member, reading a book, or seeking professional advice. It is this willingness to further one’s knowledge of our canine companions, in order to improve the lifestyle of the dog, oneself, and our neighbours, that defines a good owner.

Medical problems can often be mistaken for behavioural issues. If your dog develops a problem behaviour quite suddenly, or he has not been to the vets for some time, I strongly advise you to allow a veterinary practitioner to negate any medical problems prior to commencing a behavioural modification programme.

Through personal experience I can strongly recommend the Clent Hills Veterinary Group www.clenthillsvetgroup.co.uk
