Humane Canine Training is pleased to be able to offer to clients, Private Home Visitations for any and all Behaviour Issues. These sessions are 2 hours in length, and very in depth, as we go through the dogs background and history to be able to get to the core reason your dog is acting the way it is acting.We then design a therapy program for you and your dog that you feel comfortable managing. We stay in contact via email and telephone during the course of this treatment, and at any time during the dogs life. We use only humane methods and will not prescribe choke collars, prong collars, shock collars of anytype. We may suggest a diet switch, using supplements to ease a dog through transistion and positive reinforcement for proper behaviour. Read the testimonial page. In less than two hours I can show you how to get your dog to stop barking at sounds, or show you how to build your dogs courage to prevent fear issues.
