Force free refers to a type of reward based training where punishment, including physical correction or psychological intimidation, is never used. Force free training is kinder, more effective and often quicker than punitive methods, and it helps strengthen the bond between you and your dog.
The time it takes can vary significantly, depending on you, your dog, and the behaviours involved. Some behaviours can be resolved relatively quickly with some lifestyle changes and exercises, while others require a lot more time.
Every training or behaviour session starts off with an assessment, where I try to learn as much as I can about the dog. We then discuss the training and lifestyle changes required to make progress.
For training walks, we initially have a short visit with the dog so that I can make friends with them, get them used to the vehicle and discuss what training you would like me to implement on walks.
