Why train your dog with Mutts Manners and Obedience
We help you teach your dog basic commands, to help improve their behaviour and learn how to listen to you no matter what.
Through our training programmes, you can develop a better understanding of your dog’s behaviour and body language. This will improve your communication and strengthen your bond
We help you teach your dog appropriate behaviour around people and other dogs and to respect boundaries put in place to keep everyone safe.
Teaching your dog a reliable recall and the ability to stay in a sit or drop when asked will keep them safe in potentially dangerous situations
Training can provide mental stimulation and a sense of accomplishment for your dog, which can help prevent boredom and destructive behavior.
A well-trained dog is generally happier and more relaxed, which can lead to a better quality of life for your dog and create a well balanced bonding relationship with you.
Having a well behaved dog that listens well not only boosts their confidence, but yours too, thus creating a happier and more relaxed life and a trusting relationship.
