PRIVATE TRAINING

December 6, 2017

Do you have a dog that has a concerning behaviour?

Perhaps they are scared to go out and about?

Or they lunge, bark and snap at other dogs?

Or maybe they are over-excitable and jump on all new visitors?

Have you tried things and not seen a change? Are you embarrassed about your dog’s behaviour? Our private training is a one on one with a qualified trainer, focussing on what your concerns are and putting together a plan of action to help shape your dog that you’re are proud to call your best mate. We do this in a positive, calm and fun environment, involving all the family.

Both in home or on location visits are available.

1:1 In home private training. When group classes aren’t the right fit

Does your dog have a behaviour that is a problem? Are you anxious to take them out and about?

Through a 1:1 in home session, we will come to you in your own home. This helps to lower your anxiety, and we can see the behaviour where it happens. We specialises in training dogs that live with anxiety. All dogs can have anxiety and at different times in their life.

It can present itself in different ways too such as

  • Barking or nipping at strangers
  • Lack of confidence in new environments
  • Chasing other dogs
  • Not settling at home
  • Separation behaviour (pacing, chewing, jumping, fretting)

Other problem behaviours which can be covered include:

  • Excessive Barking
  • Aggression
  • Fears and Phobias - scared of thunder or the environment
  • Escaping
  • Resource guarding, growling or biting you around their food or toys
  • Reactivity; barking lunging on or off lead toward people or dogs
  • Over-excitable behaviour such as Jumping up, mouthing, vocalisation

What to ensure you have:

  • Lots of treats!
  • Anyone that is involved in your dog’s life

Hi, I’m Megs Hopman – Founder of Playful Paws: Training & Wellness (Playful Paws). Through professional and personal experience, I’ve developed an appreciation for individuality. I understand that every dog, or person, is different – and it’s important for an Animal Behavioural Specialist to develop a training plan around this individuality. I love meeting new people, and their fur best friend, and finding how to bring out the best in each partnership. The saying ‘dogs are like their owners’ doesn’t fall too short from me.
