Tim Radcliffe Dog Training
28 years of professional dog training experience
CHRISTCHURCH DOG TRAINING
I am a passionate and motivated dog trainer keen to help dogs and owners utilising the experience I have gained over 28 years of training dogs. This includes working and training dogs in the NZ Police Dog Section for 18 years, Land Search and Rescue Dogs for 20 years and the Aviation Security Explosive Detector Dog Unit for 4 years.
I now want to impart my knowledge and experience to domestic pet dogs so that they become an enjoyable and rewarding member of your family. I can develop your dog into one who makes good choices and help guide you to better understand and manage your dog’s behaviour. In partnership we can support the dog to be the best version of itself.
I have a wealth of knowledge and practical application of dog behaviour, puppy development, shaping new behaviours, counter conditioning undesirable behaviours and problem solving. My primary focus for every dog is based on engagement between the owner and dog and I work with integrity and commitment to achieve the best outcomes.
Through my experience in handling and training many dogs I have gained the ability to understand the dog’s behaviour and implement the best learning method for the individual dog and owner.
