MY SERVICES
PUPPY TRAINING
I can help with all manner of puppy issues, whether it be: house training, crate training, socialising, mouthing.
I'll also show how to start the basic training commands like: recall, heel, sit, down.
ENGAGEMENT TRAINING
I am a big believer in 'Engagement' with dogs. This is where your dog sees you as their whole world. I can teach you how to achieve this important life skill, which will make training your dog a lot easier.
BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS & LEARNING MANNERS
My extensive knowledge and hands on experience with many different types of behavioural issues will enable you to eliminate many problems or, when the behaviour is too severe, I'll give you coping strategies to manage the behaviours.
Wanting to expand on your training?
If you wish to do more with your dog, to increase your bond together, I offer advanced training. For example, I teach off lead and distance control work. You may also want to try teaching your dog to 'Track'.
A brief description of Tracking
Tracking is an excellent form of exercise for dogs. Most breeds are capable of doing it and as dogs love to use their noses, they usually love doing it. It is a very mentally challenging form of exercise, a 10 minute Track can be the equivalent to a 1 hour walk. It is always done on a long lead/line, so it works well if you lack confidence that your dog will stay with you off lead.
There are different types of Tracking depending on what Dog Sports you compete in, I teach IGP style Tracking. IGP Tracking also works if you want to compete in Working Trials or UK Tracking Dog.
In IGP tracking you walk a basic pattern on grass or dirt, without your dog, and on the way you drop Articles which have your scent on. You return to collect your dog and whilst holding your line, the dog follows the track you walked and indicates the dropped Articles. My dogs indicate by laying down and staring at the Articles.
The above is a basic explanation of a very exciting activity to do with your dog and the beauty of it is, dogs of all ages can do it, even those that are a little elderly.
You don't have to take it too seriously, you can just have a bit fun with your dog.
If you look at my Facebook page: 'Laura Pitcher - Dog Training' you will find videos of my dogs Tracking where you can get an idea of what it looks like.
