1-2-1 Home Consultations

The most important consideration when taking on a dog is establishing the leadership of the pack. When leadership is in doubt then other problems quickly develop. By using the Amichien
Bonding
® system of Canine Communication you can quickly learn how to establish yourself
as the leader and make life much easier for both you and your dog. This system of
communication when used properly and consistently, will solve any problems in your dogs
behaviour that are not medically based. All consultations take place in the dogs own home.
With dogs as with children home is the first place to teach good manners. The consultation will
be for a minimum of two hours but will last as long as is required. At the conclusion of the
consultation you will be left with a comprehensive action plan and at any time thereafter you will
be able to contact me for any further advice or backup for the lifetime of the dog at no extra cost.

This is a no gadgets, holistic method with no further costs after your consultation as phone
and e-mail backup are provided for the life of your dog.

For more details about my consultations, take a look at these two blog entries I wrote that
describe in depth the nature and benefit of the system.

Training

Would you like to have more fun with your dog and use his natural skills? If so I can assist in training in such skills as tracking, searching, both for people and property and agility in
addition to the normal obedience. All this training will be done on a one-to-one basis. There is
no benefit in walking round a church hall with large numbers of other dogs!

Equipment advice and supply

A large variety of good quality leads, harnesses and other dog training equipment can be supplied. A full list together with prices can be obtained on request.

Dog Selection

If you are not sure what breed of dog is right for you or where to go to
get him or her, or even more important where not to go, contact me
for impartial advice. Lets put the 'puppy farmers' out-of-business
and only use reputable breeders.

I can offer advice for a smooth introduction of your puppy into your home
especially if you have children.

After Dinner Speaking

Available for talks to clubs and societies and as an after dinner speaker. I can talk not only on dog related matters including 'dog listening' techniques and other training methods or can
speak about policing across five decades. Hear about the anti Vietnam demonstrations, the
IRA bombing campaign of the seventies, and much much more. Learn about such characters
as Nos Gumbs  Britains first black policeman and Howard Eastaugh who twice stopped the
Queen in the royal car on her way to a function, and who said afterwards "I thought she looked
familiar". And of course many tails of police dogs.
