Who is Marian Tague?
If your dog won’t come back when you call, I can help you to achieve reliable recall.
If your dog pulls on the lead, I can help you to improve lead skills.
If your dog is excitable and barking in the house and garden, I can help you to achieve calmer behaviour.
I have been very fortunate to study, observe and practice a range of teaching methods both in this country and in America. Sound methodology which I can employ to ensure that each dog and their owner are reassured that the programme they receive is designed specifically around their needs and lifestyle.
I have held a post of lecturer at a local University. I have helped my students to understand the psychology of learning and how sensory integration can be used creatively to help with each dogs individual development and minimise stress.
I have worked at Guide Dogs for the Blind and helped prospective Guide Dog users to prepare for the exciting and challenging times ahead as a Guide Dog User.
I am particularly interested in communication in all its forms and it is my mission to assist dogs, their owners and their families to establish a common language achieving harmony and mutual respect.
I have been drawn to dogs from the moment I could reach out to touch them Something akin to alchemy happens between people and dogs… a special bond…. and the massive potential this provides for a lifelong bond. I really want you to enjoy your dog. And that means understanding him, supporting him through his learning challenges and sharing in pleasurable activities with him.
I’m aware that owning a dog is a big responsibility and at times a challenge. however, when you understand why he does things and when you know how to teach him and he understands what the boundaries are, he will rise to your expectations. In this way you’ll both have a happier time together. ‘No stress just adventures’.
It’s an interesting and stimulating place outside and dogs and humans experience the word differently from each other. Accurate and reliable recall is an important skill for your dog and the time to start is ‘now’! Through consistency and games, dependability can be achieved making off lead activity safer.
