He has a wealth of knowledge and experience in dog training and handling dogs and he will show you how to apply his methods to foster a healthy relationship between you and your dog.

Dog Training Service:

Using positive reinforcement and non-aversive dog training methods, Reece will teach you and your dog to work in partnership and find a positive method that suits you both.
He will teach you how to establish a good relationship with your dog, building up each behaviour method, working with your dog's ability and showing you how to get the best out of them.
Reece provides a 1 to 1 dog training session with you and your dog in your home where your dog is comfortable, then building on each session going at a pace to suit you and your dog.
Reece will show you how to use positive reinforcement, adapting the training around the individual dog to achieve the desired behaviour.

Dog Walking / Dog Training Walk Service - Monday to Friday.

Group Dog Walking:

Here at Merry Dogs we offer a dog walking service. Dogs need physical stimulation as much as mental, they need to be kept fit and healthy so they are less likely to do anything naughty! Any breed of dog is welcome. Your dog will be walked in the wonderful Kent countryside for approximately an hour and, if instructed by you your dog will be allowed off or on lead, or we can provide a long line if you are unsure but still want them to have a bit of free rein.

Our service area is around Whitstable and Canterbury, however, we may be able to offer a wider service depending on where you live, please phone to check that your area is covered by us on 07756 556 266.

Training Walk.

We also offer a training walk which is where your dog will get the benefit of a walk, but also learning manners i.E. Heel, sit etc. This service is normally for an individual dog or maybe for more than one dog in the same household.
What's included:

Learning general manners, social behaviour (where possible), walking to heel, recall, stopping jumping up, and if required retrieving work. If your require more behaviours from your dog this will be added into your training program.

Reece will explain the process and show you how to get similar results on your own. Reece will spend the time with your dog to get the very best out of them. He will be patient, and have the time required which is required to train dogs to a high standard. He will use a clicker (where appropriate), and if you are already part of our 1 to 1 service then he will transfer what the dog has learnt from those lessons. This means that you will know your dog is getting the exact training required, and he will also incorporate the exercise aspect.

Please contact us for more details.
