Behaviour Adjustment Programmes
​
Are you or your dog needing help? Is yours or their stress effecting your day-to-day lives? Have you reached the stage that you can't control them anymore, or they're unsafe or dangerous. It's easy to feel defeated & deflated, when your dog's behaviour doesn't seem to improve, but we're here to help. There is no 'quick fix' solution, and any trainer who offers you one should be avoided. It’s easy to remember the anxiety and stress you feel in these difficult or reactive moments, however, we should also remember how your dog feels here also.
​
Why is my dog like this?
There are many reasons as to why your dog has a particular behaviour. It could be from a lack of early socialisation or none at all, medical issues, a traumatic past either by human hand or dog's, be protective by nature or breed, or even be passed down genetically, to name a few.
Unfortunately, these type's of behaviours don't go away by themselves without help and understanding. Most people hope that their dog will 'grow out of it', but by leaving these behaviours, they often worsen both in frequency & intensity, if not carefully managed. Neither aggression nor fear can be punished out of a dog.
​

Standard Reactivity Programme
This package would suit low level reactive dogs to either dogs or humans, or dogs needing help in one specific area. This programme would suit dogs that have not been involved in a traumatic experience, the behaviour is a new or recent one, or for dogs that can be around their trigger at times without reacting.
Muddy Paws Dog Training are strong advocates of purely positive training, and do not use any training techniques, that result in causing any dog pain or fear, to your best friend. Your dog just needs help, is probably scared, or just wants to feel safe, and that's what we focus on first.
Please note. Though we cover all of Co.Kerry travelling to you, if you are 30km from us, we do charge fuel costs of the journey.
To build up a complete picture & history of your dog, we create their very own pack, containing our work, dogs background, progress & more!
