Let's Talk Dog
What makes us different?
You will benefit from our wealth of experience helping owners and dogs, as well as our high level of theoretical learning and qualifications.
We have the experience to assess the reason for your dog's behaviour, and the ability to teach you how you can change it, to facilitate a mutually beneficial and rewarding relationship with your dog.
We specialise in helping you modify unwanted behaviours using simple, kind, scientifically proven, reward-based methods and teaching you how to avoid potential behavioural issues in the future
Puppies
We can provide a host of practical information for new puppy owners – how to raise a happy, confident, well behaved and sociable dog and how to avoid common behavioural problems or overcome those already presenting.
Adolescent Dogs
Typical behaviours of young dogs can include pulling on the lead, recall, jumping, over-excitement in the home and on walks, lack of socialisation with people and dogs and anxiety in new situations. We can help with all of these.
Rescue Dogs
Rescue dogs of all breeds and ages can present with many behavioural issues most often due to their previous experiences. We can help you to bond with your rescue dog, and give you the tools to handle on and off lead work, separation anxiety, reactivity to dogs / people / traffic etc and more serious aggression issues directed at other dogs, strangers or owners and family members.
Trainer or behaviourist?
A qualified behaviourist can identify the reason for your dog’s behaviour and teach you how to understand your dog’s motivations and learning process to encourage desired behaviour and prevent or reduce unwanted behaviours.
Training involves teaching your dog to perform specific functions, such as loose lead walking. Kindness, understanding and connection are vital to achieve results. A good trainer will show you how!
At Let's Talk Dog we offer both services, and use our extensive and experience to help you understand your dog - how they learn, and what motivates their behaviour. We follow the latest best practice methods as recommended by institutions such as the Pet Professional Guild, the Guild of Dog Trainers and the International School for Canine Psychology.
We receive many referrals from vets, professional dog trainers and rescue organisations, who understand that our science-led approach can help where other methods have not been successful.
What our customers say...
It's a pleasure welcoming a new puppy to the family and the pleasure the pup has brought to our family is huge, that’s mostly thanks to Deb at Let’s Talk Dog and their puppy package and the handholding that comes with and really helping us to understand the puppy. You can read it in books but it’s just not the same – even if you think you have a well-behaved dog spend a couple of sessions with Let’s Talk Dog and I guarantee you and the dog will benefit.
