- To keep it simple – an easy, common sense, practical system is established ensuring that dogs and their owners enjoy the training sessions and keep them going. This means well behaved dogs and happy owners.

He gives owners the techniques and tools that are necessary to work with and enjoy their dog – catering for each individual situation guaranteeing maximum success.
- To create consistent, confident owners who have a broad knowledge of dog behaviour and how the animals ‘think’. Using positive reinforcement techniques – rewarding the desired behaviours – he is able to develop the owner skill level to cope with a range of situations.
