Training and Behaviour Consultations

The idea that Dogaholics had when venturing into training was to ensure that they could help as many dogs as possible (and their owners), by Wayne completing dog training with IMDT (specialising in puppy training and adolescence) we can ensure that he is able to help train new behaviours that you want to see more of. Jade chose to train for Canine behaviour, currently trained level 4 and studying for Level 5, this way she could help stop the behaviours you don't want happening.
Together they can help the owners and the dogs understand what is needed of them to have an enjoyable life.

The process

Enquiry

This is a phone call or message discussing what the potential issue is, a decision is usually made here as to whether training or behavioural consultation is required

Paperwork

If behaviour consultation is needed, paperwork will be sent out via e-mail to try and establish more information that may aid in further understanding the issue. This may then lead to further questions that will be done either via video call or e-mail

Session

Training - Wayne will skip the paperwork section and progress straight to a session, here he will go through as much training as he can with you (limiting to a certain amount per session so you are not overwhelmed), and allow you to practice to ensure correct techinque.

Behaviour - consultations will be done via video call, explaining the issues that are found and how we will progress to help the situation. If training is needed, an in-person session will be arranged.

Follow up

Training - After a month if no further training sessions have been booked, we will follow up to ensure all is well and ask if any further sessions are needed or any clarification for current training is needed.

Behaviour - After our session I will create a PDF which will detail everything we have spoken about, the techiques we have chosen to use and any further information you may have asked about. This will be e-mailed to yourself, if further consultations or consultations are required this will be discussed during our session.

Success stories

Here we will be adding clients and our success stories so you can see how we work and who we are a trainers and behaviourists

Chester

Chester is nearly 8 months old, his family had begun to struggle with loose lead walking along with seeing some behavioural issues at home, these included barking at people walking past the window, barking in the garden and digging. We had a few discussions, booked Wayne for training and arranged the consultation. We found that being a working line, and being a beagle, Chester needed a lot more mental stimulation than he was receiving, however with mum working from home this was a difficult task, so alongside the training we also gathered ideas as to how to entertain and stimulate Chester but work at the same time. We also discussed how to manage Chesters barking, although it is a breed trait, we worked out a plan to acknowledge what he was barking at and give him a cue to stop.
