If you have answered yes to any of these, then Have a Good Dog can help you with this and much more! Our training is for dog owners who want to teach their pet how to behave in everyday situations. Our town centre venues enable you to practice your handling skills around a wide range of distractions including  traffic, busy streets, shops, passers by, cyclists, other dogs and more! 
       
  
                                                                   
We want you to understand why your dog behaves the way they do, and how, by using kind effective training methods, you will have a happy and enjoyable realtionship with your dog. Have a Good Dog training is based on a sound understanding of learning theory.  
 
 
 
We can show you how to teach your dog to come back to you when called, to stop jumping up at people, to have manners around food and toys, to walk on lead without pulling, and we will also help you and your dog deal with situations
involving people and other dogs.
 
We offer training classes at various levels, and as it is vital that we ensure you and your dog are receiving not just the right training, but in an environment you are both happy with, we also offer one to one training. This is ideal if your needs are more specific and you would like to work on just one or two aspects of your dogs training. As one to one training is carried out in your home, it's also useful if you find it difficult attending the venue where classes are held. 

 

Dogs can also exhibit behaviour problems that require further investigation. Some of the behaviour problems we can assist with via a consultation include:
• Aggression towards people and other dogs 
• Separation Anxiety
• Phobias
• Compulsive Disorders
