POSITIVE DOG TRAINING - "CALMNESS LEADS TO REWARD"

During the course we will teach you how to train and communicate with your dog using our uniquely developed “Calmness Leads to Reward” © formula for dog training & dog behaviour.

"Calmness Leads to Reward" is a philosophy Keith developed 25 years ago and is based on a true understanding of animal psychology and the dogs innate primal instinct for the survival of the family pack unit. 

It is a holistic dog training and behaviour method which incorporates two core fundamentals that of 'Behaviour Management' and the 'Education of Communication Cues' through positive training.

This ensures that the partnership of dog and owner is balanced, whole and complete.  “Calmness Leads to Reward” © uses only positive reward dog training methods which are based on the timely, consistent, reward of affection with love without the need for treats or gadgets.

Keith believes that you should be able to communicate with your dog because of the bond that you build through mutual affection and respect based on loving leadership, using a true understanding of innate canine psychology and not because you are bribing your dog with food.

Keith will provide you with expert ongoing support.  He will tailor design your dogs training to start you on the journey of permanently transforming your dogs behaviour giving both you and your dog the perfectly balanced, stress free, loving relationship forever.
