As Jim says on his website

www.jimgreenwood.co.uk

Our aim is to promote a better understanding between you and your canine companion. We believe that often the problems we have with our dogs is a lack of communication. We talk human and expect our dogs to do the same. It is to the dog’s credit that we manage to communicate at all! Behavioural issues can often be the result of just not understanding why the dog acts the way it does. Understand why and you are half way to resolving the issue. Basic training is for understanding how a dog learns and will make the learning process fun for both trainer and dog

Training workshops: to deal with certain behaviours as required by participants: Recall problems, Lead aggression, Stock problems (sheep worrying, cats etc) Basic obedience.
