Animal behaviour advice
Judita offers animal behaviour advice for more serious problems: the charge for this is £25 per hour. Such problems may include excessive barking, over-enthusiasm when meeting people, house training difficulties, or even mild dog to dog aggression. Judita's dogs can be brought into these one-to-one classes as distractions, or as non-threatening friendly dogs to improve your control over your dog when meeting other dogs. Please note that for some behavioural problems, a behaviourist may recommend a health check by your vet.An initial behaviour session starts at your home, where Judita observes your dog in his/her usual surroundings. We can then discuss your dog's problem as well as giving Judita the opportunity to observe your dog's behaviour. The remainder of the session is spent with determining the best approach for you to solve the problems discussed. After the session, all methods suggested will be explained in detail and sent to you either by email or letter.
Dog training classes
Any level of obedience or agility can be addressed and again Judita's dogs can be brought in to simulate (controllable) distractions, to improve control over your dog. The emphasis in training with Judita is on keeping your dog motivated, making sure they enjoy the exercises they are doing for you.
The training Judita advises is all reward based as she believes it to be extremely important that everyone has fun in training. Obviously, dog do get things wrong sometimes, but there is usually no need to get cross with them — the photo on the left shows Judita crossing the road with her dogs. Although they always sit at the roadside, when there was a person on the otherside of the road with a camera, they were just not going to perform. There was nothing left to do but laugh!
