About - Jackie - Happy Dogs Training
I’m Jackie and using my many years’ experience as a leading expert, I’d like to explain how I can help you navigate through the important but potentially confusing path to having a loving, obedient, professionally trained puppy. The kind of puppy that other dog owners look at and envy your calm authority and powerful bond with your pet.
Welcome to the first and most vital stage of creating a loving, unique bond with your dog. A bond that is based on owner and pet being in synch with clear communication and where lifelong positive habits and behaviours are created.
I’m certain that you, like me feel great admiration when you see an owner and their dog in harmony. The dog responding happily to a range of instructions, walking comfortably on the lead, responding immediately to recall and many other visible and vital skills.
It all looks so effortless and easy doesn’t it? Well, it’s true, isn’t it, that behind any effortless performance is hard work, strong knowledge, confidence and superb coaching support. Dogs will never train themselves.
I’m guessing you must have seen and maybe experienced dogs not under control, running off, being reactive to other owners and dogs, stealing food and many more antisocial and potentially dangerous behaviours both outside and in the home.
Because you are looking at this site, I know that you’re thinking, “That’s absolutely not what I want”
What you may be saying to yourself is, “Yes of course I need to train my puppy, but how can I know who to choose? Do I go for the cheapest option where my dog may be one of many in the class? What criteria can I use?”
I hope the following helps you decide.
- I am an animal behaviourist and fully trained in their learning psychology .
- We were awarded Dog Training Centre of the Year 2023 *
- I was voted Animal Behaviourist of the year 2023 / 2024*
- You will get 1:1 experience bespoke to yours and your puppy’s needs. (NB: dogs do not learn well in groups)
- Private training means all members of the family can be involved so consistency is achieved which speeds the learning and helps the dog feel safe and secure.
- My training is bespoke to your dog’s needs (not all dogs are the same and like children develop in different ways!)
- My training provides a gradated and progressive pathway to build the essential components, over the development and growth of your dog
In our sessions together, you will see close up as I demonstrate, explain and teach the instructions for your dog to respond habitually and happily.
You will learn
- WHAT to do.
- WHY this works
- HOW to embed the skills for life.
Crucially, I will coach you and give in the moment feedback on how to practice and maintain these skills beyond the lesson. This means you will become more accomplished and confident in your relationship with your dog much more quickly than group sessions
