Loni Loftus Behaviour

Training is a vital part of any animal's development. As an experienced animal trainer Loni knows that creating a positive experience of training for animal and trainer alike is vital for long lasting success. 

 

Using positive training methods doesn't mean being broadly permissive it means that as a trainer you can:

 

• Make training a positive experience for the animal

• Motivate the animal to want to participate

• Set clear boundaries without use of force

• Allow the animal to express a range of behaviours and avoid frustration

• Enhance learning

 

The training Loni carries out can be broadly divided into three pathways:

 

• Initial training and socialisation

  • Training for puppies and young horses 

  • Teaching basic appropriate responses to cues such as sit, stay, recall for dogs; early lead rein work, stable manners and introduction to new situations such as transport for horses

  • Appropriate socialisation for young animals at key times in their development

• Lifelong training

  • Further training for adolescent and adult dogs

  • Further groundwork and ridden schooling for horses

• Remedial training

  • For training problems

  • As part of a behaviour modification plan
