Dog Training Basics

Hello dear reader, I'm Starrie. I come from a family of dog trainers and cannot think of a better way to spend my days than by bonding with man's best friend.

I've learnt a lot over the years, especially about the importance of positive reinforcement and reward based training. This is the only way to raise a gentle, obedient dog and I absolutely swear by it.

If you have a new puppy or even an older dog with some behavioural problems then I am sure it is nothing I haven't seen and fixed a thousand times before.

I've packed a lifetime of knowledge into a series of easy to follow books and I take the responsibility of passing this wisdom on very seriously.

I value your dog's future and if you do too then give my training programs a shot - I'm sure you'll be delighted with the results.
