Animal training

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
