Help, my puppy is becoming a toddler! What should I do now? He still hangs onto trouser legs, jumps up at visitors or onto the sofa, seems tireless, has bananas in his ears and sometimes seems to have forgotten everything he has learned.
Don't worry, this is all part of the process. Van Stal is here to help you and your puppy through it.
The Elementary School Van Stal is a super comprehensive, intensive course of 8 lessons completed within 1 month. Lots of information in a short time so you won't be left behind. And these lessons are mostly held indoors!
During the basic course, you learn to look through the eyes of a trainer. You gain insight into the behaviour of your dog and dogs in general. Why does your dog show certain behaviour, what is the underlying emotion and how do you deal with it in a positive way? We not only increase your dog's capacity to think, but also yours as a handler. You learn to think consciously and solution-focused in terms of changing behaviour, not unlearning it.
Does your dog sometimes lash out at other dogs? Do you wonder why your dog does that? During the reactive dogs course, we give you insight into your dog's behaviour and body language. We will help you think solution-focused and make you a trusted companion to your dog.
At Van Stal, we help you and your dog find a solution to these problems together. We specialize in complex behavioral issues such as falling out on leash, chasing traffic/people/dogs/horses, not being able to be home alone, and other expressions of (fear) aggression or frustration. We work with positive training methods focused on the well-being of the dog. That means we do not use correction, coercion or any other form of suppressing behavior and emotions.
