Gelert Behaviour Training is an independent company offering dog and other pet training services
We’re members of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and The Association of INTO Dogs.
How We Can Help
We teach you to train using force free, fun and effective modern scientific methods and take an holistic approach to your pet’s overall wellbeing.
We are frequently asked to help with “problem” behaviours (there’s a list further down of some common examples) but we much prefer to work with you and a new pet to avoid any of these things happening. The earlier we teach you how to communicate with your pet, the easier life is for you and them!
We’d like to emphasise that we teach YOU what to do, so you can support your pet forever, and our goal is to empower you to make good decisions throughout your pet’s life.
Our Services
We offer one-to-one consultations in person or on line to address problem behaviours, initially forming a management plan to keep you all safe whilst you and your pet are learning. Next we make a plan for the future which we then help you to implement by teaching the various individual skills you and your pet need to coexist happily and healthily.
We offer individual training with your pet at our premises, or in their normal environment (it could be at your home or on a walk, depending on what behaviours we are training). We have the facilities to practise skills in the presence of other animals (usually dogs) safely at a distance your dog is comfortable with. We can also now offer residential training for you and your dog together.
