PATTERDALE TERRIER

The Patterdale Terrier is a robust, independent hunter bred as a working dog. As a result, the breed is not easy to obedience train but we have trained a great many of these feisty tough little dogs. They need a very firm hand or they will dominate the owner.

The Patterdale Terrier is a breed of dog descended from the Northern terrier breeds of the early 20th century. The origins of the breed can be traced back to the Lake District specifically to Ullswater Hunt Master Joe Bowman, an early Border Terrier Breeder.The "Patterdale Terrier" is more of a "type" rather than a "breed", being the result of a culmination of working terrier breeds indigenous to the United Kingdom.

PATTERDALE OBEDIENCE TRAINING

Obedience is vital in your dog.Having an obedient Patterdale makes ownership of your pet an absolute pleasure! At Leeds Dog School we will train your dog to a high level in obedience.We also believe that this should involve the owner at every stage and so our training is one to one with you and your dog. It’s important that your dog obeys your commands and we work with you until you are confident in controlling your dog.

Owners with obedient pets get more satisfaction and have a stronger bond with their pet. As Patterdales are working dogs owner training is vital so that the owner can enjoy having such an energetic pet.

A well-trained Patterdale is safer to have around family and friends, and is at a lower risk than an uncontrollable dog. Your Patterdale must come back when it’s called in the face of dangerous situations such as near a busy road.

Heel Work – walk to heel on the lead
Heel Work – walk to heel off the lead
Recall - return to you when called
Down – “down” on command
Sit – dog will sit when you stop walking
Come – come to you in the “frontal sit”

PATTERDALE PUPPY TRAINING

Training your new puppy should be started as soon as possible from 8 weeks. You’ll be amazed just how quickly they learn and at a very early age and it’s just fun for them and they love it!

Leeds Dog Training School train your puppy on a 1-2-1 visit to your home in Yorkshire rather than in classes as we believe this is much more effective.

Toilet Training - we will show you the easiest way to toilet train your puppy
Crate Training - we will show you how to crate train your puppy
Biting - we will show you how to stop "mouthing" or biting
Destructive Behaviour - we will show you how to stop destructive behaviour

STOPPING BAD BEHAVIOUR BY YOUR PATTERDALE

Some trainers believe that giving a dog treats is the best way to train but in our opinion relying on treats exclusively just does not work particularly with a Patterdale. Your dog may learn how behave but only does it at because there's a treat at the end of it and many times treats just stop working. Essentially you are bribing the dog to behave properly. Our Patterdale dog training solves problems with bad behaviour as this is our speciality. Many of the problems are very common and we work with your dog and just as importantly, with you at your home or on a walk, to solve any problems you may have.

Stop pulling on the lead
Stop lunging at other dogs
Stop barking at dogs & people
Stop jumping up at people
Stop aggression
Stop running away and not returning
Stop constant barking

Today we had a first visit from Rob to train our Flat Coated Retriever Mack. Within the first 5 minutes Rob had unbelievably changed his behaviour of barking and jumping up and mounting. Mack was also obedient and calm. With his expert guidance of both Mack and us as his owners ,we are thrilled with the incredible results so far . We are so pleased that we contacted Rob.

Ruth came to see us to help stop our 8 week old puppy from biting our hands and feet. In just 1 hour she showed us a really helpful correction technique that he is gradually responding very well to. Ruth was happy to talk through any other issues/aspects and gave us great advice and support overall. Many thanks Ruth and Leeds Dog School, I am sure we'll be calling on you for help again in the near future!

Thank you so much Rob for being so kind and patient with helping us with Kiwi and her bad behaviours around jumping and barking. I was gobsmacked how quickly you were able to train both us and her. Chuffed to bits thank u so much and we’ll continue with the tools you’ve provided us with.

A gentleman called Rob came out to us today to rid our 3 month old German Shepheard of his bad behaviour. Myself and my partner were really struggling with the dog as he was very defiant which was causing a lot of stress in the household. However the method we were shown today has proven to be extremely positive and actually works as our dog has changed in a matter of an hour. We are so happy we chose this company as the results are amazing all we can say is thank you and we will definitely be using them again for on and off lead walking.

I couldn’t recommend Rob and his team highly enough. Rob came to see us a little while ago to help us with our 5 month old Labrador who was being overly boisterous when meeting people and playing. Within minutes she was drastically better and the results have continued to be great! Rob gave us tips for the future on how to overcome potential issues down the road and they have really helped.

Just had my second dog training session with rob and just like the first session it went amazing. For 6 months my 3 Doberman’s have been dragging me around the streets and no matter wot advice I’d been given in the past non of it worked 😩 after just 2 minutes with rob my dog was walking in harmony 🤗 I couldn’t believe it finally I can take my dogs for a walk rather than they take me for a spin. Thank you rob you are amazing xxx

Cannot recommend Leeds Dog School enough. We saw a difference within minutes of Rob arriving. We have been able to use the tips that Rob gave us easily on our own and it is like walking a different dog! We will definitely be using again for help with recall. Thanks Rob!

Wow I must admit I was skeptical as to are they going to be able to help well within the first 10 minutes of Ruth taking our border collie on the lead I was blown away it was like watching a different dog being walked

The difference in our dog now is amazing all this just in 1 visit a massive thanks to Ruth you have made a great difference

Has to be seen to be believed!! It was incredible to see the change in our puppy after spending literally 10 minutes with Leeds Dog School. He has stopped biting. Couldn't be happier. Definitely money well spent. Thank you.

We have had dogs for over 20 years and never needed to call in a trainer before but the aggression our 4 year old rescue Doberman was showing was getting out of hand. When Rob came, he instantly assessed our dog ( and us ) and gave us a simple but very affective method to correct this behaviour. It worked practically immediately and has continued to work in the days after. Hopefully we won’t need Rob again as he has given us the tools to control our very adorable but feisty dog, but we wouldn’t hesitate to call on him again.thanks Rob ( and Ruth) Vicki, Ian and Stan xxx

Can’t believe the change in our dog in less than half an hour my dog stopped his constant barking best nights sleep in 5 weeks since we got Ernie. No more stress for us and Ernie he is like a different dog, my partner came home from been away a couple of days and could not believe the difference Ying and Yang. I would recommend Rob to anyone life changing !!!

I met Rob for the first time today with my 9 month old lab . I was a bit sceptical has ave been through lots of training sessions with various trainers and not much success. Rob was straight talking, no nonsense and extremely knowledgeable. He had my lab walking with him, obedient and showing him respect within minutes, something I had been trying months to do. With his guidance and training (within the session ) I took Jess on a walk later in the day, following his techniques and advice I had the best walk ever! No lunging or pulling ! Exciting to develop on this and then looking forward to booking in another session for recall . Thank you !

Had one session with our Rottweiler and all our problems were sorted with simple correction, can’t recommend this guy enough! Leaps and bounds above all the other trainers we’ve had. Honest and good at what he does. Any problems I’d definitely get in touch.
