Natural Dog Behaviour Training specializes in dogs with behavior problems. Unlike obedience training, behaviour therapy deals with the core issues causing the problem, not the symptoms.

Lead behaviorist and founder Ivan Stewart, was born and raised in Northern Ireland. He has always had a special connection with dogs and his ability to understand them will help you create harmony with your dog.

The methodology is based on cynopraxic dog behaviour therapy, which is change based on the bond between dog and human. Using sound clinical dog behaviour research, along with intuition, observation and experience, he created Natural Dog Behaviour Training - an holistic approach to harmony in the human-dog relationship.

Ivan is a member of the Animal Behavior Society (ABS), Association of Animal Behaviour Professionals, (AABP), as well as the Canadian Association of Professional Pet Dog Trainers, (CAPPDT), and the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, (APDT).

 

'I spend a lot of time adjusting human behaviour.'

 

The approach is simple

Starting with a thorough assessment in your home, he will come up with a plan of action that will take your dog from a state of instability, to one of balanced, positive energy. Then over the appropriate number of learning sessions, you will see your dog's behaviour change.

This is not a special process that only Ivan can achieve. This is about giving you real skills to help you create a new reality, and establish different relationship with your dog. His no nonsense approach to dog therapy and behaviour modification will give you results and peace of mind.

Please understand that this is not obedience training. Although some obedience techniques can be instrumental in behaviour modification, they generally pre-suppose an intact core relationship with the owner, that often isn't there. Ivan's job is to help you re-establish that relationship.
