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 – dog will be taught to walk to heel on the lead without pulling.
Heel Work – dog will be taught to walk to heel off the lead ignoring other dogs.

Down – Your dog will ignore other dogs when in the "down".

Come – dog will come to the owner in the “frontal sit” position.

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.

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

The best hour of our to date! Rob is fantastic, and Vincent our Cockapoo thinks the same. Robs approach is realistic and achievable for us!

We have a more well behaved dog, after just the one hour.

We would recommend working with Rob, absolutely.

After an initial telephone conversation with a lovely gentleman at Leeds Dog School , Rob came to see our 9 month old Labrador who was jumping up, stealing food, and making it difficult for me to leave the room without him barking or trying to follow me. Rob had an immediate impact . Everything he said would happen actually happened !! He showed us simple but effective techniques that work and explained the psychology begins it so you understand . A very genuine , knowledgeable man who wants to help people to enjoy their dogs and make lives easier. Will definitely be booking another session to address pulling on lead and recall and feel very confident that Rob will be able to address . Thank you so much . Highly recommended .

Rob has just been around to our house wonderful knowledge and is very down to earth bloke. Would highly recommend him to anyone our bulldog showed an instant improvement and we now have the tools to carry on and progress with the training Thanks Rob

We have a 9week old golden retriever who was generally being a naughty puppy but we didn’t really know how to address the bad behaviour (biting, constant crying in the crate, jumping up etc.).

We found Leeds Dog School on-line and given the 5star reviews from everyone, we decided to give them a call.

A few days later Rob come round and literally within 10minutes we noticed a change in our puppies behaviour through us leaning simple but effective techniques.

Would highly recommend.

Rob is the Dynamo of the dog world !! Its like magic how he made such a difference in my chihuahuas behaviour so quickly and after only one session. I'm a VERY happy customer. I recommend Rob highly to any dog owner for any problem.

Rob visited me and my 13 month Cocker Spaniel this afternoon and he was brilliant. He helped us set up the foundations of training so we can eventually let him off the lead. I instantly noticed a difference in his behaviour and I now enjoy walking him without him virtually pulling my arm off! I would recommend Rob to anyone, he really is excellent.

Just had first visit from Rob. Very positive outcome for our border collie Bobby. Would recommend him to anyone. Will be in touch for future visits. Lyn.

We called Rob to help us with our 16month old mini schnauzer who constantly barked at other dogs and jumped up at people. Within 10 mins of meeting him there was already a change and now 4 days later we have a completely different dog! Walkies are a lot more enjoyable now

Had this guy in my house less than 5 minutes and he had my 8 month old Labrador x Akita listening to what we said and also stopped her jumping up and chewing her lead. Absolutely amazing will definitely recommend him to anyone who need a dog trainer.

Just had our first session, so impressed with how it has gone! The hour started with our 6 month old GSD ripping a hole in Rob's jumper and ended with a calm puppy. Just successfully mopped the living room floor with a spectator rather than "helper". Looking forward to the next session. Thanks so much!

I contacted Leeds Dog School for help in controlling our Labrador's incessant and aggressive barking at anyone who comes to the house. It had reached the point where my own mother has stopped visiting because of the din my dog makes. Rob came out and showed us a very simple technique which worked immediately and is easy for the whole family to implement and commit to.
Leach Ann-Marie 19 Nov 2018
Had our first session today with Rob. It's not rocket science what you learn, it's sensible and practice lessons in dog behaviour. We love our 2 year old black Labrador, but he runs rings around us, and we are too soft. Not anymore, Rob has show us how to gain control and correct Finley. So we have less stress with our dog. Looking forward to the next session.
Tracey Oliver 30 Oct 2018
Rob came to our house to help us with our 5 year old Doberman. In less than 15 minutes he had stopped her barking when people came to the door. We've seen a massive improvement in her behaviour already since he came and can't wait for him to come back to help us tackle her response to joggers, cyclists, etc.
Pat Mangion 14 Oct 2018
Rob was able to quickly demonstrate the techniques we had been lacking to get both our spaniel and wire haired pointer to walk to heel. A very simple yet effective correction that has solved 3 years of problem behaviour on the lead.
Danielle Molyneux 12 Oct 2018
Very knowledgeable, highly recommend Rob! Sorted my 1 year old Frenchie out within the first 10/15 minutes of being with him, felt like i had a completely new dog. Looking forward to the next session!!
