How To Crate Train Your Dog

Things every new dog owner should know.....

Why its great to get them used to a crate!

Forget high fives, Paw, Beg and all that crap, Crate training is the best and most important thing you you need to be getting on and training your new puppy for.

Aside from your puppy having a safe place, its teaching your pup to settle on its own, and being comfortable when left alone for any length of time.

There are many types of crate on the market today, in numerous different sizes. They can be found at the local pet shed or on line. It should be big enough for pup to stand up, sit up and move around.

Mel is wonderful at what she does.

I have been working with Mel for a couple of months now, and she has been pivotal in helping create solid foundations with our Golden Retriever puppy. At just 15 weeks old (the puppy, not Mel), the amount of comments we get about her steadiness and c... Read more By Jamie

Priceless training for us and our two Vizslas.

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve said, “I wish we did this 3 years ago!” We have a 4 year old Viz and a 5 month old pup. We tried everything with our older boy, from internet searches, books, friendly advice etc to train recall, loose lead... Read more By Ben Paull

Life Changing tuition for our Toy Poodle

Prior to collecting our Toy poodle we shopped around for trainers for our puppy (and ourselves as first-time puppy owners!) Of the responses we received, the best by a mile was a phone call from Mel that literally changed our lives. We were so nervou... Read more By Louise Thorley

From 8 weeks old to puppy classes and individual training, any breed.

I’ve had Mel, train my standard schnauzer from 8 weeks old. Her knowledge base is fantastic. Taking an interest and learning about the schnauzer breed, and adapting the training for the breed and the puppy.... Read more By Christine Morgans

It's like taking an entirely different dog for a walk

My Lab had been attending reward based / force free training with another trainer for over a year - with no discernible results. He still had little or no recall and was a nightmare to take for a walk. Having found Breckland Dog Training via Google (... Read more By Diana Round

Good find

Having bought another pup, I searched the internet to locate puppy classes. I phoned Mel at Breckland Dog Training and was immediately impressed by her professional, helpful ‘can do’ attitude. We have only done 4 classes so far, and I am enjoying a s... Read more By Jayne

Excellent

I have been taking my westie, Duncan to Mel. The changes in his mannerisms and behaviors were substantial even after our first lesson. I feel Mel knows and understands the needs for both Duncan and me. The hands on knowledge she is giving me is chang... Read more By Kim

Just Brilliant

I brought my 5mth old lab to puppy classes feeling really nervous and she was all over the place. A 1:2:1 was suggested and I am so glad I did. One hour and not only is my puppy engaged and walking nicely but my confidence and enjoyment is back. Than... Read more By Anne-Marie

Utterly Brilliant

I have a supercharged young Hungarian Vizsla who pulls on the lead and leaps up at everyone. The training was as much for me as for my dog. Within just an hour, Mel taught me clear, calm, and consistent techniques that helped me achieve immediate... Read more By Claire Walker

A game-changer!

Just 10 sessions with Mel and what a game-changer they have been! I took my dog, Lester a Cavapoo for general training as he pulled at the lead, wouldn’t come when called, and generally took great pleasure in ignoring me! In a very short time, it bec... Read more By Alison Lord

“The change in my dog is amazing”!

When I first brought my puppy to Breckland Training she was all over the place. 6 sessions in and she is now a totally different dog, the change in her behaviour over only a few weeks has been remarkable. Truly grateful to Mel and Steve for their con... Read more By Sophia
