More about dog trainers in Colchester
Most cover basic obedience, and around half help with puppies. Several also work with reactive or aggressive dogs, and a few help dogs who are fearful or who struggle to settle when left alone.
Most trainers here don't say on their website how they train, so it's worth asking. Of those who do, most say they use force-free methods, which rely on rewards rather than corrections. Help with Hounds has the highest BarkScore here, at 4.6, followed by Rehabilitation and Training at 4.4.
