Our Trainer
Joh Bryant
We are massive beleivers in 100% positive reinforcement based training. We beleive it is not appropriate to use negative reinforcement techniques with any dog however Salukis are a very sensitive breed and can become very nervous if negative reinforcement methods are used with them, so we think its is even more important to ensure our dogs are trained in this way. ABC 4 Dogs provide a fun and friendly environment offering a wealth of knowledge from extremely well trained, experienced and qualified instructors. They offer many different training opportunities, from GCDS Awards, to Rally obedience, to Scentwork and Hoopers, all using games based, positive reinforcement training regimes. They offer amazing support and help to their students and provide a really welcoming and positive atmosphere to help both you and your dog really ENJOY training.
