Craig Ogilvie – Dog Training Bio & Approach

He brings infectious enthusiasm to every workshop, helping both dogs and their owners feel engaged and excited to learn.

​

Training Philosophy & Methods:

Positive Reinforcement: 
Craig is a strong advocate for using positive reinforcement—rewarding desired behaviors with treats, toys, praise, or play. This creates a fun, motivating environment for dogs and builds lasting trust.

Individualized Training:
 Each dog is treated as an individual. Craig adapts his techniques to suit the dog’s personality, drive, and learning style, ensuring every session is effective and enjoyable.
Owner Engagement:

A core part of Craig’s philosophy is training owners, not just dogs. He empowers owners with practical skills and confidence so they can build a stronger bond and communicate more clearly with their dogs.

Workshops – What to Expect:
Communication:

Learn how to better understand and “speak” your dog’s language, improving clarity and reducing frustration for both you and your dog.
Arousal & Behaviour Problems:

Discover how to manage high-energy or over-aroused dogs and get practical solutions for common behavior issues using kind, effective methods.
Interactive Play:

Experience the power of play as a training tool. Craig demonstrates how structured, interactive play can build focus, motivation, and a deeper connection between dog and owner.

Overall Experience:
Participants can expect a supportive, hands-on environment where both dogs and people are encouraged to have fun, try new things, and celebrate progress. Craig’s workshops leave owners with actionable strategies, a better understanding of their dog, and a renewed sense of partnership.
