Wag n Bone offers kind, reward based dog training in Wittersham, Rye and Tenterden.

Here at Wag n Bone, our aim is to keep dogs and handlers positive and happy whilst learning or updating their dog training skills. If I can achieve this then I will hopefully be able to give you the tools to make training your dog easy and fun!

Most of us know that we humans find it hard to learn and take in new information when we are either excited or under stress but did you know that it is the same for your dog? I work hard to try to keep classes informal, positive and fun.

Yes of course you need to know and be able to teach your dog the basics of well known obedience ‘tasks’ but probably more important is for me to find ways of showing you how a dog learns, why it learns certain behaviours and above all how to build a great bond with your dog through giving lots of appropriate positive reinforcement.. If your dog sees you as his most fun, wonderful and not forgetting useful asset (yes asset – Canis Lupis Familiaris are highly successful scavengers and scroungers – that’s how they evolved and made their way into our hearts and homes) he will happily aspire to follow your lead.

Don’t spend your time telling your dog what not to do – enjoy teaching him what you would like him to do!!,….. positively reinforce it and he will naturally repeat your chosen behaviours.

Alongside learning/updating your dogs obedience skills we use the medium of small obstacle courses, ‘rally’ type instructions and stations along with dog tricks to enhance the working bond with your dog.

Wag n Bone runs both one-to-one training and group classes in the Tenterden area of Kent.
