Welcome to Animal-Manners, Gill Aitken's animal behaviour website!

 

I hope you enjoy my website! It's designed to give you details  of my training and behaviour services but also provides up-to-date information on topics relating to dog behaviour. For example, you can find out which books to read, where to get good training equipment, how to find out about feeding your dog naturally - and lots more.

 

If your dog is displaying unwanted behaviour you are keen to change, please do get in touch with me to have a chat. I will help you decide which of my services best suits you and your dog. Don't despair – there is always a way forward if you are willing. And remember, the longer you leave it the more time your dog has to practise the undesirable behaviour – and as we all know, practise makes perfect!

 

Please be aware that dog trainers do not all have the same kinds of ideas or use the same techniques. Do ensure you choose a dog behaviourist or trainer who is well qualified, experienced in treating the problem you need help with, and - most importantly - who uses effective, reward-based training methods, never methods that frighten, startle or hurt your dog. It’s best to avoid advice based on a diagnosis of dominance.
