Owner Empowerment: We believe dog training starts with the owner. Our primary goal is to educate and empower you, providing deep insights into canine behaviour, communication, and learning. We translate complex dog psychology into clear, actionable understanding, so you can confidently guide your dog.

Trust-First Connection: Your dog's emotional well-being is paramount. We specialise in building profound trust, particularly with nervous or misunderstood dogs, and will teach you how to cultivate this same deep connection. This empathetic approach ensures your dog feels safe, understood, and eager to learn alongside you.

Kind & Force-Free Balanced Application: While we acknowledge and use the full spectrum of learning principles, our methods at The Gibbons House are resolutely kind, ethical, and force-free. We focus on balanced training, clear communication, and thoughtful application of consequences that never involve pain, fear, or intimidation.

Individualised Journey: No two dogs or relationships are alike. We celebrate this individuality. Your training plan will be tailored to your dog's unique personality, learning style, and your specific goals, ensuring a personalised and effective path to success.

Advocacy for All Dogs (Especially Rescues): Driven by a passion for helping dogs find their forever homes and thrive, we are particularly dedicated to working with rescue dogs. We understand the complexities of their pasts and are equipped to help them build confidence and integrate seamlessly into their new lives, dispelling common myths about breed and behaviour along the way.
