Thank you for visiting It's A Dog's Life. I’m Penny, a dog behaviour specialist, and like many of us, have been around dogs all my life and simply couldn't envisage life without them.
When I began dog training in the Eighties, it was a world of harsh training methods, choke chains and Barbara Woodhouse ruled the roost.
Thankfully today good dog trainers and behaviourists (including me!) use modern, kind methods, based on positive reinforcement not punishment. Resulting in a fantastic relationship with your best friend based on trust and mutual respect; not fear.
I cover Chelmsford, Basildon, Brentwood, Braintree and all Essex.
Using a holistic approach that factors in all aspects of your dog's life, health and diet, I provide one to one bespoke coaching, tailored to meet the needs of you, your family and dog. I use clicker training - a quick, fun and extremely effective training method.
Here are some of the
services I offer for you and the dog in your life:
from house training to basic commands - we can help you to train your puppy
we provide a bespoke service at your home & discuss all aspects of your dog's routine
nipping, biting, excessive barking, jumping up - our trained dog behaviour specialist can help
Superb advice from Penny, even before we got our puppy. Follow her advice.... it works! Penny had our puppy following simple commands and the toilet training has been invaluable. Highly, highly recommended.
