Peter's training approach is based upon assessing your dog's problems; in its entirety as well as the bond between the dog and its owners. Peter will advise you on how to improve your dog's behaviour through training, diet and the relationship with your dog. He will teach you why your dog displays certain forms of behaviour and how to counter that behaviour.
Peter specialises in aggressive and unsociable dogs and will advise and train you on how to rectify these problems. This will increase your confidence when handling your dog.
Peter's aim is to assist you to address all of your concerns regarding your dog. Dog owners want their dogs to be well behaved and happy.
