Recent advances in the world of dog training and behaviour mean that we have more understanding about how dogs learn and feel emotion.

​

The study of canine behaviour extends further than simply seeing a behaviour happen and 'fixing' it, usually with force or punishment. Science has shown us that dogs are capable of quite complex relationships and emotions, and therefore need more complex training and behaviour modification to be able to change their behaviour in a more positive and kinder way. There is no place for physical punishment in modern dog training.

With this in mind, Michelle has created a series of classes, both online and in-person, that suit every need, budget and skillset.

​

Michelle's Canine Care utilises ethical methods of dog training such as Classical Conditioning and Operant Conditioning, pairing rewards with motivation and action, as this has been proven to be the most efficient and kindest method of changing our dog's behaviour to suit our needs.
