Barrie and Simcoe County Dog Training for:
Puppies, Behaviour, & Obedience in the Real World!
Private Lessons
When I say "Behaviour first, obedience second." it means that, if you can't walk your dog without them forgetting you're even there, lunging and barking, acting like a woodchipper on a leash- it is a waste of all of our time and your money if we try to work on shaking a paw, conditioning, or even the most basic obedience at that point.
The inappropriate behaviour has to be stopped FIRST. When a dog is in that headspace, it is impossible to communicate and actually teach new skills, behaviour or obedience.
I look at the individual dog in front of me and what their behaviour is telling me in the moment and make my move accordingly.
Payton!
Payton is a young Border Collie x
Rough Collie with some big reactivity
that his owner has worked with me
to help with and he has come a long way!
