Sandhills Canine Training Centre

What we Stand For:

To promote greater understanding of the Canine Mind.

We help and guide the owner to train their dog using positive reward based methods of training and applying animal learning theory. By working on the needs and motivations of the dog - from pure bred to cross breed is part of how we train and help an owner to understand; Why does my Dog...?

All dogs, like humans are a mixture of their genetic pre-disposition, their personality (energy level) and their life experiences. The saying; 'there are no bad dogs only bad owners' is too simplistic and judgmental, it denies hereditary, social and environmental factors that make up a dogs behavioral tendencies.

Better the saying; ' there are no bad dogs, but some are harder to train and live with.'

Rescue dogs are a particular interest of ours. Often dogs arrive in rescue centers during their adolescence; if you are experiencing difficulties with an adolescent dog then please contact us -with some extra ‘back to basics’ training and a little patience we can help you to help your dog avoid developing unwanted behavior during this short period between puppy and adulthood.

We run a monthly Behavioral Clinic by appointment and offer in house rehabilitation training working to a prescribed training program under the guidance of the Behaviorist. In some cases a dog may need a full behavioral consultation and home visit and the Behaviorist will advise accordingly.
