Behaviourism
Almost all people who have dogs make the mistake of thinking that a dog thinks and feels the way us humans do. Which is no fault of the owner's and its only done with the utmost of loving intentions. Humans have a tendency of putting our own human emotions onto our dogs. The reality of the situation however is that they have very different ways of dealing with whatever emotions it is that they feel. This is the reason for - for example - our dogs know that they will get in trouble if we find a chewed up shoe on the floor when we come home after being out, for what feels like a life time for them. However, they aren't able to put the cause and effect of the situation into practice. They are unable to decide for themselves that they mustn't chew the shoe .... they only make it as far as "when my owner finds this I'm in trouble". Which is why the natural progression would then be that the chewed shoe ends up getting hidden away as well. because their cause and effect version is "if my owner 'finds' this, I'm in trouble". This is where Jamie comes in .... to mend the communication gap between owner and doggo.
Correcting a dogs behavior takes working with both the dog as well as the owners and other family members in the home.
So firstly you will book an assessment, Jamie will come to your home and do a full assessment on your dog or dogs, he then will do a full assessment on the home environment, including the owner of the dog as well as everyone else living in the home including other pets.
You will receive a written report on the diagnosis of your dog, as well as how many remedial sessions will be needed. The sessions will be booked at a time which will be suitable for you, after hours is not a problem.
Sometimes the best place to learn is where there are no distractions
Learning to walk off lead is a job for owner and doggo
What are we going to learn today Jamie ?
We love socialising, thanks for making it safe Jamie.
Walking a big Doggo is no different than a small one
Playtime builds trust
How am I doing Jamie?
Building trust is essential
Walking two dogs was always a handful, look how easily I do it now.
Socialising off lead takes confidence, but once done it's so rewarding
Introducing a new member to the family could be tricky.
Hey big brother, how am I doing?
Now we get to walk with mom on the beach, off-lead.
I was too hyper and couldn't be walked, but look how chilled I am now.
Oh yes we going on a hike, I just love the outdoors
We love being able to run free without the fear of us running away.
