❓ FAQs
🐾 Is this suitable for reactive dogs?
This programme is designed for general training. If your dog is reactive or aggressive, I recommend my behaviour programmes for more specialised support. https://ravendaletrainingandbehaviour.co.uk/behaviour-dog-programmes
🐶 How quickly will I see results?
Many owners see improvements within the first few sessions, but consistency is key to long-term success.
🧠 Do you use force-free methods?
Yes my training is ethical, science-based, and focused on building trust and understanding.
🐕 Can we train in real-life environments?
Absolutely. This is a key part of the programme so your dog can apply skills in everyday situations.
🧠 Training vs Behaviour Support – Which Do You Need?
It’s completely normal to feel unsure—here’s a simple way to understand the difference:
🐾 Training is best for:
- Loose lead walking
- Recall
- Jumping up
- General overexcitement
- Focus and engagement
👉 Your dog is generally friendly but needs structure and guidance.
🐕 Behaviour support is best for:
- Barking, lunging, or reacting to dogs or people
- Aggression or fear-based behaviours
- Anxiety (including separation-related behaviours)
- Dogs who feel overwhelmed or struggle to cope
👉 Your dog isn’t just “untrained” they’re struggling emotionally.
