Thank you for visiting our website.
At Naughty Corner Training we use only Kind, Fair and Effective methods to train dogs and owners alike.
We are both very proud to be Members of the APDT
(The Association of Pet Dog Trainers).
APDT Members are regulated and adhere to a strict code of practise and ongoing personal development.
We never use Aversive methods during our training or behaviour modification programmes.
(Aversive = any circumstance or event that causes pain, fear or mental or emotional discomfort)
We are aware that some 'trainers' and 'behaviourists' who profess not to use 'harsh methods' are actively using water sprays, rattle cans and physical correction - all designed to shock and distract the dog from unwanted behaviours.
We believe that just as we expect to be treated with kindness and respect when we are learning something new, it follows that we as teachers should have patience and respect when teaching our dogs new behaviours.
By helping you understand your dog and how to use the training techniques in everyday life, we aim to make training enjoyable and fun.
We offer real life training where needed - where you live.
We provide advice on responsible dog ownership and the practical aspects of life with your new best friend and are available for consultations prior to the arrival of a new puppy to ensure the best possible start.
Rescue dogs often have special needs and a preparatory session can make the transition into their new home easier, along with assistance dealing with the issues that resulted in them going into rescue, which may still remain unresolved.
We believe that ongoing training helps maintain happy and lasting relationships.
