Frequently Asked Questions

Below is a set of commonaly asked questions relating to Mad Mutts and the services I provide. If you have a question that isn't answered below, please contact me via my contact page in order to ask your question. I will endeavour to respond directly to you ASAP. Additionally I will post your question on the web site in the hope that it helps another visitor after you.

Do I Need Any Special Equipment?
I use your dogs normal collar and lead or sometimes a gundog slip lead. It's not the equipment that's important - it's what you do with it!

How Long Do Sessions Last?
The consultation process normally lasts between 2 to 3 hours.

Do you run training classes?
I run classes at Moreton Village Hall on Monday evenings. Suitable for all ages and levels. Contact for information.

Will you give me some advice on the phone?
I will always do my best to help you over the phone if I can. Sometimes a simple (to me) piece of advice can be a life saver to someone at their wits end!

Can you help aggressive dogs?
I only draw the line at having to wear full body armour! But really, dog aggressive behaviour I can help with. People aggression is usually guarding behaviour and I only ask that you are sensible and ensure my safety whilst on your premises - i.e. perhaps muzzling your dog.

Is my puppy too young to train?
Puppyhood is the best time to teach your puppy anything - the rules of life, discipline and good manners are easy to teach when your pup is young - from 7 weeks.
