Do you long for a dog that has the skills to be well behaved left alone? 

​

Do you dream of being able to take your dog to nice places but can't get them to chill out enough?

​

Do you just want your dog to obey you, but can't get them to even look your way when you're outside?

 

​

​​​​

TRAINING: Challenged brings the perfect mix of fun and serious training to give you the skills to introduce obedience training in a way that will keep your dog switched on and motivated! We think outside the box to get your dog to listen, engage and obey... which means less stress for you in the long run!

​

We use rewards based training which includes food, toys, praise and all the good things. We do not use punishment to teach dogs as it simply isn't necessary - we can get our point across without the use of physical reprimand, or harsh tools.

​​

If you're an outside the box thinker, and you want to train your dog in a way that builds a special bond, sparks their curiosity and makes mundane training tasks joyful again, we have just the challenge for you...

​​

EpiphanyK9 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.

​

​Before we begin, you'll receive a 30 minute phone call to clarify exactly what's going on with you and your dog, so that our in-person sessions are solely for training, and time is not taken up by discussions.

During the sessions, you will be provided with the skills to teach your dog new behaviours, as well as coaching you to understand why the methods will work.
