UK Sniffer Dogs

Scent detection training has long been widely used across the world for working and operational services. Our amazing dogs have been used to search for drugs, bombs, forearms, cash, contraband, missing people and human remains. Even more amazing, in recent years dogs are being used for assistance purposes. Medical alert and medical detection, such as detecting cancer cells in humans..... WOW!

We aim to give owners the skills to train and take part in scent training activities with their dogs. Just like the working "Sniffer Dogs"! 

Get in touch to book your place on our next workshop, Saturday 11th November at Abshott Community Centre in Fareham.

Clicker Training

Clicker training is a positive reinforcement training method.

It's a terrific, science-based way to communicate with your dog.

It's easier to learn than standard verbal cue training. You can clicker train any dog, of any age. Puppies love it. Old dogs learn new tricks.

Obedience

Everyone wants a dog with good manners. With ongoing training you can too!

From leaving the house calmly and loose lead walking to polite greetings I can show you how to make this happen.

Behaviour

Advice and training for common behavioural issues such as resource guarding and separation anxiety.

Dogs with behavioural issues should always be health checked by a vet.

Overseas Rescue Dogs

Overseas rescue dogs are often very different to U.K rescue dogs. They require more empathy and understanding.

As a graduate Romanian Rescue Pro Trainer I can help you with your overseas rescue.

Scent Work

Improving dog's lives through nosework.

Giving dogs positive scent experiences, not only teaching them to work and play with scent, but using scent to rectify problems in pet dogs when it comes to behaviour.

Reactivity

Helping owners help their reactive dogs. Reactive dogs become overly aroused by common triggers. They may lunge, bark and growl, becoming so preoccupied with whatever is triggering the emotion that they can be difficult to control and move out of the situation. A reactive dog is usually a fearful dog.

"I approached Carla about our 3 year old Sprocket who was extremely protective about food he couldn't have as well as other items. His behaviour was uncontrollable. Even though he is a super loving dog we needed to address the issues. Carla was super responsive with the initial call and was able to help us swiftly. Within the first session we learned so many things and Ronnie immediately responded to her as well as us after her guidance. Her professional manner, understanding and simplicity with her approach meant we could easily integrate the training techniques into every day life. Carla sincerely cares and wants to make a huge difference, ensuring a happy dog and owner! I would highly recommend Carla's services to anyone who has doggy challenges. "

Louise, Waterlooville

"Carla has been nothing but supportive in helping us to train our two bears. She has a genuine passion for dogs and their well being comes first. We have learned some amazing reward based techniques from Carla and find her methods to be highly successful. Nothing is too much of a problem for her. We are so excited to see how our bond with our dogs keeps growing with each session. We would highly recommend."

Lucia, Portsmouth

"Carla’s help has been invaluable. I trust her, her experience and her methods implicitly and am so grateful for her assistance with training. I’ve got an extremely fearful Romanian rescue and I hadn’t the first clue about how best to support him and help his confidence around humans grow. Carla is insightful, understanding and patient. I could see the change in my boys behaviour after just one meeting, and Carla doesn’t leave it there either. You get a full written training plan to help you move forward, building the relationship and trust between you and your dog. I’ve got a lot of homework to do, but I know that Carla is just a message away if I have any questions, concerns or reassurance. I honestly could not recommend Carla and her services enough. 12/10."
