When dog owners are looking for the perfect family dog, the first breeds they think of are normally Labradors or Golden Retrievers, because they’re laid-back and easy to fit in to family life. They have a reputation for being great with kids and you often see labs and goldies as the quintessential family dog as portrayed in film and tv.
But the reality can be quite different.
Like any dog, it takes dedication and consistency to train even the most laid back Labrador and create a happy, well-adjusted family pet. Even the best of breeds can end up being in a nightmare situation if not understood and managed correctly.
That’s where I can help! I specialise in helping families create a consistent, positive environment for their dog to grow and flourish, working with the characteristics of retrieving breeds to help them become the much-loved member of their family, that they’ve always dreamed of.
