# Merry Dogs Behavioural Consultancy & Dog Training

Merry Dogs is a specialist dog training and behaviour consultancy based in Whitstable, serving Kent and surrounding areas. The business is run by Reece Merry, who holds a degree in Applied Animal Behavioural Science and Welfare alongside extensive practical experience in dog training, handling and competing with gundogs.

The business caters to dog owners struggling with behavioural issues or seeking professional training guidance. Merry Dogs specialises in one-to-one training sessions delivered in clients' homes, where dogs feel comfortable and secure. This personalised approach allows Reece to assess each dog's individual needs and tailor training methods accordingly.

What sets Merry Dogs apart is their commitment to non-aversive, science-based training methods. Rather than reliance on punishment or intimidation, Reece primarily uses clicker training and positive reinforcement to modify unwanted behaviours. This approach not only addresses specific issues but helps owners understand the underlying causes of behavioural problems and develop healthy, lasting relationships with their dogs.

The consultancy works with all dog breeds and covers a wide service area spanning from the Isle of Sheppey to Maidstone and Ashford. Beyond problem-solving, they offer puppy classes and general obedience training. Reece's qualifications, combined with his genuine passion for canine welfare and behaviour, make him a knowledgeable, trustworthy choice for Kent dog owners seeking professional, humane training solutions.
