Training a dog involves teaching of verbal cues and/ or hand signals to your dog. With training one works to improve the communication, strengthen the bond and create respect between you and your dog. Examples of cues are: Sit, down, stand, stay, heel, recall, roll-over etc.

 Behavior problems are deeper rooted issues and cannot be resolved in a training class, as it needs to be dealt with on a much deeper level. I look at that individual dog’s history, type and breed of dog, personality and most importantly their underlying emotional state to try and resolve a behavioral issue. These are things like: Resource guarding. (over protective or aggressive around his food bowl, certain places or people), excessive barking, tail chasing, separation related issues, destructive behaviours, Reactiveness: (reactive towards other dogs and/or people) and aggression.
