Mel Downing - Dog Listener
Your Consultation
 
This is conducted at your own home, in an environment where your dog feels safe.
 
Instead of the usual hands-on approach where your dog is trained, instead you will be taught how to communicate with your dog in a way it understands.  Your dog already knows this!
 
You will learn why your dog does what it does and how you can help it to be more settled and relaxed.
 
I will teach you this straight forward method and help you with any queries you have about how to implement this. 
 
It is a process of communication rather than a quick fix. 
The benefits that come from this will last as long as you continue to use it.
 
Over time, as you work with this method, undesirable behaviour changes and a more harmonious relationship becomes established between you and your dog.
 
Consultations last between 3 - 5 hours.  Support continues after this with full 'For Life' Back Up service, for the life of your dog, that is conducted via telephone or email.  
 
If you wish me to come back out to visit you again I only
charge my travel expenses, there is no extra fee.
 
The one-off fee of £195, plus travel expenses, pays for a lifetime of care.
 
 
 
How long will it take to work?
 
Every dog is different but you may see changes in some areas fairly quickly, sometimes instantly.
 
Depending on the severity of the problems and the type of personality of your dog some behaviour may take longer to resolve. 
 
It is best to regard this as an ongoing way of living with your dog which will benefit any dog. 
 
By using this way of relating to your dog you can give it the chance to learn self-control without exerting force over it or making it do something against its will.
 
This is the natural way to communicate with all dogs, not just dogs with problems.
 
If you are interested in reading some background about
how dogs see the world I recommend John Fisher's book
"Think Dog".  Some of his methods differ to those I teach
however, his clear explanation give great insight into the
mind of our best friends.
 
Puppies
 
 
More and more people are looking to bring up their new puppy the 'right way'.  As prevention is better than cure I am fully in support of this and delighted to be able to help lay the foundations for a rewarding relationship between puppy & owner.  
 
A puppy is still a dog albeit it a youngster therefore this method will give your puppy the security it needs to see you as Pack Leader from the word go. 
 
An early consultation will help you avoid & successfully handle potentially difficult situations as your puppy grows into an adult dog.
 
 
"The training was excellent (consultation). It was clear & thorough.  It gave me confidence to move forward with a very difficult situation and the telephone back-up has been an invaluable support. The method makes absolute sense and the dogs are responding well."
