Our dogs have individual personalities and needs. Unfortunately, group training classes are not able to recognize these differences; from motivations to instinctive behaviours, every dog is different. At HankyBean we look at the dog, the diet, the pack and the environment to design a training or rehabilitation program that targets the individual needs of your dog as well as the lifestyle of your pack.
There is more to training dogs than having tasty treats in your hand and repeating a command until the dog listens. Training is not just about teaching a dog to perform a behaviour consistently, it's also about understanding the world from your dogs perspective and creating an environment that nourishes and harnesses their inborn strengths.
Most behaviour problems with domesticated dogs come from a lack of challenges, both physically and mentally. Using both traditional and mixed traditional training methods, as well as a thorough understanding of the dog's psyche, HankyBean can help you overcome any behavioural issues or concerns you have with your dog. We will not only help you achieve the goals you desire, but give you an understanding of the issues so that you are able to identify, manage, and overcome future issues if they arise.
As the old adage goes, you are what you eat - Well the same is true for your dog. For all too long we have accepted that whatever was not fit for human consumption was acceptable to feed our dogs. A dog's diet dramatically impacts its behaviour, from irritability & aggression to a dull coat, low stamina and overall poor health.
Your dog doesn't have a choice, but now YOU do!
