Testimonial – Dog Behaviour Modification in a Labrador x Pointer

Understanding your dog is key. You can try every kind of training class, every piece of equipment, every bribe or reward. Sometimes you are just not speaking the same language as your dog. Lisa came to me with Luna, a Labrador X Pointer, as a very last resort. As she says, I am not someone who will take your money and agree with you. It’s my job to point out what you are doing wrong as a dog owner and put you on the right track. It’s certainly worked for Luna, you can read her full story here:

After seeking help from another trainer and also taking Luna to both an agility class and a fly ball group I finally found Damian. We had a long chat and to be honest I had hoped that Damian would agree to take Luna on residential training and return her to me fully trained as I really was at the end of my tether with her. I just didn’t know what to do or how to go about getting her to do what I wanted her to do. Needless to say that Damian wouldn’t take Luna on residential (how many others would have just taken my money and run) as he felt that the problem wasn’t just Luna, it was me and how right he was! I’d taken her to classes etc to try and bond with her and Damian pointed out that she wasn’t bonding with me but the other dogs, it’s funny how you don’t always see the obvious until it’s pointed out to you!
