My Story
Training your best friend
My name is Katie Potter and I’ve been training dog's since I was 5 years old! Starting with family members dogs then moving to neighbours' dogs and friends of friends. This all began when I found out about Caeser Millan I learnt a lot about what I know by watching him and reading his books. I went to work in my first kennels at 12 years of age, Here my knowledge grew in dog behaviour, many different boarding kennels later, going to college, working in groomers and pet shops. Now 26 years old with my own family I decided to begin my own venture, finally starting up professionally. Eventually listening to what had been encouraged to do for so many years. I believe in developing a mutual understanding between you and your dog, because caring for an animal in your home is as much about responsibility as it is about love. Get the most out of your relationship with your dog by calling me today.

Puppy Training
Getting a puppy is an exciting time! but getting the training right is so important. Consistency & boundaries are key to training your puppy. Training doesn’t always have to be strict, it’s also a fun and rewarding way for you to spend quality time together, and really helps you strengthen your bond. Most pups really enjoy training as it’s a chance for them to challenge their brains, earn rewards, get lots of praise and attention!

Agility classes are a fun way for strengthening the bond between a dog and its owner. It works the dog both mentally and physically.

Reativity
Personalized and Professional
A reactive dog presents in many ways. Many people relate reactivity to aggressive behaviour connected with an attack or an impending attack. Behaviours such as becoming still and rigid, growling, snarling, baring teeth, lunging, and nipping or biting. Reactivity doesn't always have to be towards other dogs or people, this behaviour can be directed at household items, cars, bikes, runners etc.
