What sort of training do we use?
At The Wantage Pet Company, we will only use reward-based, force-free training methods. We do not tolerate harsh handling, aversive methods, or 'training aids'. Training is our passion, and we are proud to offer these services to Wantage and the surrounding area. Our methods will reap long-term results and strengthen your relationship with your dog. You can also be assured that you will receive the most up-to-date training practices as we are constantly undertaking training courses and seminars to stay at the forefront of the training community. Our services are designed with you and your pet in mind, and we believe in working as much with you as with your animal. We are proud of our high success rate, and the satisfaction our clients and their pets come away with every time - guaranteed.
Dog Training and Behavioural Support
Our Dog Training and Behavioural Support programmes are tailor-made for each client, working on individual issues and behavioural patterns to achieve a desired end goal and give both humans and dogs access to the life they dreamed of having.
