Games Based Concept Dog Training

Are you looking for a new way to help your dog with their behaviour struggles? 

  • Do you dream of a dog who is calm in your home and around visitors?
  • Does your dog react badly towards other dogs or people?
  • Does your dog bark at everything and anything?
  • Would you like to be able to leave your dog at home alone for a few hours without them barking and howling? 
  • Does your dog get destructive when on their own? 
  • Does your dog pull on their lead?
  • Would you love to be able to let your dog safely off their lead?
  • Does your dog get frightened by loud noises?
  • Does your dog want to chase anything that moves? 
  • Does your dog demand your attention all the time?
  • Can you eat a meal in peace without your dog stealing your food?

 

With Concept Training, we go way beyond simply training behaviours...
We first look at the emotions that are behind your dog's undesirable behaviour. 
This is when the magic happens and you see the behaviour transformations you need. 

Big Dog asks Little Dog, "Why are you not barking like me?"

Little Dog looks up at his friend with a puzzled expression, "why are you barking?"

Feeling a little confused, Big Dog replies, "it is what I always do."

"Are you scared?" asks Little Dog.

"Hmm, I'm not sure, maybe. I can't describe it. How do you feel Little Dog?"

"I feel calm."

Big Dog looks down at his friend, "Oh, I think I like the sound of that."

How do 1-2-1 sessions work...

Step One

Getting To Know You & Your Dog

Through a detailed behaviour questionnaire that you fill in prior to our first session, I will be able to get a thorough insight into the struggles you are experiencing.

A clear three step transformation plan is then put together for you, working on the specific skills (concepts) that your dog needs support with. We will focus on your current concerns and aspirations for your dog.

You will also receive all the support you need to get your training off to a fabulous start.

Step Two

Play Games

Both you and your dog will love this part of the transformation - you get to play games.

By focusing on specific games, we will be building on those key concepts that best support your dog. Over time the way your dog perceives the world around them can easily be changed.

With over 400 3 minutes games to choose from, you and your dog are in for many surprises and a lot of FUN.

Step Three

Real Life Transformation

The aspirations for the future that you had are now becoming your reality. You and your dog are now in harmony with each other.

You will be seeing your dog go from strength to strength with their new understanding of the world around them.

Imagine your dog having the skills to make great choices while feeling relaxed, calm and confident - even when on their own.

"Beneath every behaviour there is a feeling.

And beneath each feeling is a need.

And when we meet that need, rather than focus on the behaviour, we begin to deal with the cause not the symptom."


-Ashleigh Warner

Client Testimonials

"It is an absolute pleasure working with Natalie. I was able to discuss my concerns and thoughts before we got our puppy, she had brilliant tips and expertly curbed my spending spree to the better equipment. The Concept training approach is perfect for our family, as playing the games creates a strong bond with all family members, which was our number one priority - to have an affectionate dog wanting to spend time with each of us. Our training needs are quite bespoke due to being a wheelchair household, but Natalie takes it all in her stride and has innovative ideas to achieve the outcomes we want, setting layers of behaviour to promote to step by step reach the goal. Could not ask for a more personalised focus on our dog and our household. Highly recommend Cornerstone Canine Training!"
Leonie
"He really is a different dog! You have worked wonders with him (and still are) and we are so grateful. As you said, he’s such a softy for humans but other dogs really did make him uneasy, but now he is just nosey and knows it’s mush more rewarding ignoring them!"
Katie
"This training has been so helpful, giving us a whole approach and strategy to address our 3 year old dog's seemingly ingrained behaviours. Natalie has a passion and natural empathy for dogs, is skilled in training strategies and enthusiastic. You get much more than just classes with follow up support and advice. Excellent dog training."
