Companionship with a dog is a lifelong process that starts when you get your pup. The relationship will mature into something far exceeding your expectations through conscientious care, coaching and love.
Why Us
At Hopefordogs Canine Training, we advocate using compassionate and kind methods in our coaching. Because humane and positive reinforcement is far more likely to succeed in achieving a training or behaviour change objective. Welfare first, training second.

"Beneath every behaviour there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need, rather than focus on the behaviour, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom."
- Ashleigh Warner
Why you should let them sniff
Mental stimulation: Sniffing engages a dog’s brain, and provides mental stimulation and enrichment.
Behavioural outlet: Sniffing is a natural behavior for dogs, and allowing them to do so can help prevent boredom and reduce the likelihood of destructive behaviours at home.
Sensory exploration: Dogs experience the world primarily through their sense of smell. They explore their world and surroundings by sniffing.
Improved mood and reduced stress: Sniffing can have a calming effect and may help regulate cortisol levels, reducing overall stress.
