Take your first step towards a better relationship between you and your dog with me, Ian Cooper, dog behaviourist and master dog trainer.
I specialise in the rehabilitation of dogs with issues such as:
The best way to for me to help you with your dog’s behaviour is for me to meet you in person. Depending on the situation, I’ll travel to you – or you can visit us in North Devon.
I only need to see you once as I will provide you with the tools you need to continue to work independently.
A session with lasts approximately two hours and included is:
Guaranteed results or no session charge
Before setting up a training session it is best that we first understand the behaviours that you are seeing with your dog(s).
Whilst we decide the best approach, all contact is free including any time spent on the phone – no matter how long.
You may not feel it is the right time to meet in person, so I have an alternative, and that is video. My dog training videos have proven to be an excellent way to teach people the skills they need to overcome the behaviours that they are seeing. They’re not intended to replace my work as a dog behaviourist, especially where the dog in question has problems that seem almost impossible to overcome. But they may be a valuable first step to making the relationship between you and your dog better and to tackle some of the more commonly seen behaviours.
If you want help with issues such as heeling, recall or introduction to other dogs then purchasing our comprehensive videos may be the answer. Previews for each video are available for you to watch now.
As a dog behaviourist, understanding how dogs work as part of a pack is the basis of being able to channel their behaviours into working relationships with their owners. Nothing gives me greater joy than to end a training session knowing that I have helped an owner and their dog bond more closely and deepened their understanding of each other.
Using a combination of transferred horse whispering techniques and an understanding of wolf pack behaviours I do my level best to communicate with dogs in the way they do with each other.
I then explain these techniques to the owner as I teach them how to communicate with their dogs in the language the dogs will understand. This will always improve or resolve the behaviour because the owner is then speaking the dog’s language and they will know how to respond. My methods are neither treat based nor harsh.
I travel across the UK to help owners overcome a range of issues and create the relationship with their dogs that they really want.
If you are experiencing issues with your dog, I am happy to work with you during a session in North Devon or at your location.
I have helped people select rescue dogs and puppies literally hundreds of times, to help find the right fit for them.
For more challenging issues, I offer residential kennelling and dog rehabilitation in North Devon.
I have worked with gundogs since a boy. I can assess whether your dog can be trained and help you with a new, partly or previously trained dog.
