Dog Training conjures the idea of regimented lines full of owners and dogs stood to attention, and a dog trainer behaving in the manner of a drill sergeant as he or she barks out orders to both master and hound. Sit, heel, and fetch are fundamentally easy skills to master, and are generally taught in conventional dog training. Of course, your dog learning to understand commands in regular dog training doesn’t exactly mean that he or she will obey them.

Behavioural issues are far more difficult to treat- and a month or two of being plied with treats and being taught to sit, heel, and fetch is one thing – but sitting, heeling and fetching will not actually remove the underlying issues which are the reason why your dog chooses not to listen to you. (Especially in the day to day when you don’t have treats lying around to bribe your dog with, or when you’re trying to stop negative behaviour.)

Conventional dog training is arduous, and requires a lot of trust in your dog to even attend. It seems more a chore than a good experience to think of the act of spending so much time with other dogs – especially when your dog has behavioural issues which may mean that your dog simply cannot be trusted around others.

There is an alternative.
