The emphasis is on explaining dog language and how they learn, and then showing guardians how to teach their dog using humane, force-free, positive-reinforcement based techniques. In this way, the unfortunate side effects of punishment and the damage it causes to the human-dog bond are avoided. Techniques are based on the concepts of behavioural science and are suitable for all dogs (and across all species!) If you are interested in clicker training, this is one of our favourite ways to teach. The creativity it unleashes in your dog is amazing - just ask Zuri, the Rhodesian Ridgeback and co-owner of Dog Charming.

Sonya Bevan is the other owner of Dog Charming and is also a registered physiotherapist. She has a bachelor of science and has completed further studies at the Companion Animal Sciences Institute to gain a Diploma in Canine Behaviour Science and Technology. But this is not the end of her studies, and she is committed to continuing education to provide a service that reflects reliable and ethical information.
