Brigittes Dog School uses a Balanced Approach to Training

Our training focuses not only on obedience but also the development or bond and understanding between owners and their dogs.

Our training system is aimed at helping you learn more about your dog and dogs in general.

This Canine Communication system helps you to have a happy, safe, responsive and obedient dog.   Every owner of a dog is responsible for teaching appropriate behaviour, communication, co-operation and manners skills, to help your dog fit into the human world.

An obedient dog is willing to work through distraction and remain attentive and responsive.
