Dog Training Runcorn & Home Puppy Behaviour Classes

Welcome to dog training Runcorn, I am Neil Price your local dog behaviourist therapist and trainer and I provide behaviour and training services for both dogs and puppies. Backed by the Bark Busters Support Guarantee means you have the peace of mind that you can call on me to return free of charge for continued help support when you need it.

Is your dog like one of the family but you find it challenging and frustrating with their naughty behaviour? Or perhaps you're looking for obedience training? Then please read on. You love them, you walk them, you feed them, yet nothing seems to be working. Unacceptable behaviour such as aggression, chewing, jumping up, chasing, pulling on the lead, selective hearing on recall and many more behavioural traits are not uncommon. It can be upsetting to see our pets showing signs of being nervous or fearful. If you would like to resolve these issues quickly and effectively, you have come to the right person.

I am the owner of six dogs, four of which were rescued. My rescue dogs came, varying in age, with their own challenges. Gemma was a 16-month-old working sheepdog when I rescued her. She was very nervous, sometimes displaying signs of aggression to both dogs and people. She was not house-trained and not in the best physical shape. In the first weeks she showed real signs of aggression. Her initial behaviour was very challenging, but with patience and training, Gemma and I now have a great relationship. Gemma and I now compete at a national level in the Kennel Club agility competitions. Gemma also has the highest award issued by the Kennel Club, which is Agility Warrant Gold.

If you are looking for professional dog training near you then you have found the right place. I work with all breeds, all ages and all problems. From getting it right from the start with your puppy, child safety, expectant parents, sibling rivalry and many more. I recently worked with a deaf aggressive dog whose owners were on the point of having her euthanized. It was really fulfilling to help her, and the owners understand each other and resolve her issues.

I have successfully passed my Diploma in canine psychology with merit, accredited by the SFTR (National UK Therapists Register) and I'm a qualified Kennel Club judge.

I teach you how to communicate quickly and effectively with your dog in a language they will understand. My methods are kind and effective and you'll have peace of mind that if you need further help, this is provided free of charge under our Bark Busters Written Support Guarantee.

If you are looking for puppy training classes near you, then why not consider my home training. Group training classes can be very stressful for your pup and if they become disruptive in the classes you can often be asked to leave. My lessons are informative and provides puppies with the very best start in life.

My home puppy training classes cover topics such as:

• The best toileting habits
• Appropriate diet and good food manners
• Recall - coming when called
• Gate and door control
• Sit, stay and down training
• Correct holding of the lead and walking
• Walking to heel
• Distance control (staying with you when there are other distractions)
• How to successfully socialise your puppy
• How to de-sensitise, for example, vacuum cleaners and car travel etc…
• Protecting your puppy from being overwhelmed by people or other dogs
• Accustoming to handling, bathing and grooming
• Bad behaviour prevention and management, e.g. jumping up, mouthing, play biting and chewing etc...
