You may not know this but the dog training industry is completely unregulated. There are no best practices, no required qualifications and nothing to protect you, the client. Throughout my life, in all my jobs, I’ve always been a stickler for ensuring that people get what they pay for. I think it’s absurd that dog ..read more

I’ve pretty much seen everything that a dog can throw up after two decades of training. No problem is as common as the dog that behaves at training and then reverts back to its usual behaviour when at home.  In fact, it presents that much of an issue that I dedicate a lot of time ..read more
