We train you to train your dogs

We normally come to you and we provide 1-to-1 dog training and ongoing support for a range of different training needs and behaviour modification requirements. All of our sessions are tailored to match exactly what you are looking for and what your dog(s) need from training. Our sessions last 90 minutes and we normally start at your home.

During the first session we will assess your dog, listen to what you are looking for from training, advise you on the way forward, begin training your dog and leave you with some exercises to practice as homework.

Behaviour Modification

Dog training is a skill, learned from hands-on experience. With this in mind, we will give you the practical hands-on training and guidance to teach your dog how to behave well.  We will show you how to interact with your dog to build a successful relationship with them. Every dog and every owner is different, so with this in mind, each training session and each approach is different too. We will help you overcome any of your dog's problematic behaviours, enabling you to live with them more harmoniously.

Foundation Work

We believe that a reliable dog requires very good and solid foundations in their training. Just like a building, without it, everything crumbles to the ground. Solid foundations make training much easier and is basically teaching your dog to listen to you more. Foundation training once learnt needs to be maintained to ensure training remains easy. All of our training incorporates some foundation training.

We bring the dog training classroom to the comfort of your home. 

This is our starting point and we progress from there.  bearing in mind that most interactions with your dogs are at home, its important therefore that we get this bit right from the very beginning.  If you cant get your dog to go to their bed in the house, or recall your dog from one room to another, why would you expect anything different outside.  Its important to teach the dog in a low distraction environment first before we introduce more challenging environments.  Skipping progressive steps is doomed to failure!

 

 

Training that works for you

We wont try to sell you a set number of sessions before we even meet you or your dog.  We never know how long the training will take because every dog is different and every owner wants different things.  Therefore we leave that decision entirely in your hands to decide how long you want our help for.  As soon as you feel you have enough knowledge and skills to continue the training on your own, you just stop taking sessions.  We offer a variety of options to suit your needs, we will send you details on request.

Where we operate

Based just to the North of Salisbury, we cover an area of about 1 hour travelling distance.  We will also travel further, there is an added charge to cover time and fuel costs.

Teamwork

We normally come to you, and we'll help you adopt the best practices for training your dog in your own home environment to start with. In this way, your dog will be used to your commands, and be comfortable modifying their behaviour with your authority. Whilst we can and do perform training outdoors too, its not the best place to start and we find the results are limited and slower without the foundational work indoors first.  We look at training your dog as a team effort, the team consists of your dog, our coaching, and your presence and participation in the training. Our aim is to train you to train your dog.

We come to you! Contact us to book your dog training sessions with Forbes.

Steve and Spike Dog trainers in Salisbury

 

 

 

Highly recommend Forbes dog training. I had tried other dog trainers in the past for our GSD none of which I felt were on the same wavelength or very proactive, but Steve's approach is positive clear and simple and it's easy to see he has a knowledge and understanding for our four legged friends. We were recommended Forbes dog training word of mouth, I'm very grateful for the friend who pointed us in the right direction and hopefully this recommendation can do the same for someone else.
