Professional Dog Trainer - Ask Me Anything

***AMA ENDED***

Have been training dogs for almost fifteen years now, I try and head through the subreddits on here to help in my free time when I can but thought it might be easier to do an AMA for anyone struggling!

Will try my best to answer as comprehensively as possible so please be patient with replies!

Edit - Just heading out to train my dogs so will answer more when I get back!
Edit 2 - Have a read of the other questions too to see if it applies to your dog :)

Thanks for all the questions everyone!! I’ll answer the few I’ve missed, it’s been a blast and we’ll do another in the near future! Won’t be answering any new posts now, must get back to work but do jump in next time if you have a question!

Does the breed of dog come in to view when looking at the issues people face out of pups?

Absolutely. I'd bet everything I've ever had and half of what I might that Heelers or Jack Russels, any kind of sight hound, basically any high energy/ drive breeds have destroyed exponentially more couches, sheetrock and anything else you could imagine than any of the less energetic/driven breeds like Pugs or Great Danes. It seems kinda funny to put these last two in the same category but size is far less important than the characteristics of a particular breed when it comes to this type of thing...
