The simply kind way to change your dogs behavior, and have the relationship that you have always wanted. This is not obedience training, instead it is about asking for and getting, willing cooperation from your best friend. No force or gadgets used, guiding your dog and shaping his/her behavior.

 A relationship based on trust, your dog will trust you to make all of the decisions. Your dog will give up the need to step in, and get it wrong. Give your dog(s) the right information and his/her behavior will change, this is Canine Communication.

In- Home Consultation. (Available seven days a week) Louise will come to your home, meet the members of your family. Very young children do not have to be present, but all other household members should attend the meeting. Please allow up to four hours for the consultation, most consultations take three hours. (Louise will stay until you feel confident with the method). This gives you time to talk about your concerns and allows Louise to observe your pack (humans and the dog(s)) interacting in their home environment. Working with your dog's personality and changing their reaction to the environment they find themselves in.

Louise will explain and demonstrate the key elements of Amichien Bonding; who does what in certain situations to establish and reinforce an appropriate pack hierarchy.  Louise will provide a training/behavior shaping plan to be followed after the consultation, a plan that will guide you all.

 Often during the early period your dog will "ask" questions by challenging the new hierarchy.  The key to a successful long term relationship is patience and consistency. This is not a quick fix, the longer the bad behavior has been going on, the longer it takes to change it. Louise will be there to support you, every step of the way.

During the consultation you will be working with your dog(s) off leash to encourage willing cooperation.

 Support is life long! 

 Just call or e-mail Louise and ask for help.

Things change, Children leave home, you move house, get another dog, even years later you can call for help. There is no time limit. Help is a phone call away. (No extra Charge).

Please consider reading the book, "The Dog Listener" by Jan Fennell. This might save you the cost of a consultation. Reading the book is not a requirement before a consultation, just an option for you to consider. Most Libraries have at least one copy.
