                         Lead By Example

                     Hi . Welcome to Lead By Example dog training.

My name is Pamela Purnell. I train and work with dogs using positive       reinforcement techniques.

I firmly believe that, as humans, in order to understand our dogs, we first have to understand them as the wonderful creatures that they are.

To expect our dogs to reward us with the behaviour we want for sharing our homes, we  have to try to see things from the dog's perspective, as in order to change our dog's behaviour, sometimes, we have to change our own.

Once we see life through our dog's eyes,(or rather,his nose,) we can then begin to  understand and enjoy the relationship we have with our dogs, building a bond that lasts a lifetime.

I am  a member of the Institute for Animal Care and Education, with a diploma for canine behaviour  and psychology, also a higher diploma for canine behaviour and psychology, including the knowledge  of the dog's ancestor, the wolf, the wolve's pack structure, social skills etc..

With this knowledge we have a better understanding of how the domestic dog's mind works.     Through my studies I was given the opportunity to spend a weekend with wolves and to  walk with them. It was a wonderful experience I will never forget.  We ,as humans, can learn a lot from  the wolf pack and its structure.

For a number of years ,I have spent much of my time working voluntarily at a local dog rescue centre, using my strengths in canine psychology and behaviour. I work with many dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, behavioural problems and challenges.  Having the opportunity to help rehabilitate these dogs to go on to lead better lives in loving homes is my reward.
