PRIVATE DOG TRAINING WOLLONGONG ILLAWARRA

Switched On Dogs uses fear free, positive based methods in their dog training Wollongong and Illawarra wide. Private in-home training sessions allow for dog behaviour modification in a fun, stress free and educational environment for you, your dog and your family.

BENEFITS OF PRIVATE DOG TRAINING

There are many situations where an in-home consultation is a good option for both you and your dog. It allows a trainer to see problematic behaviours first hand where they occur and find tailored solutions to work best for you and your dog, as well as your lifestyle.

Private dog training sessions can be particularly useful for:

  • Dogs who get over excited or excessively bark at home
  • Preparing to bring a new dog or a second dog into the household
  • Anxious dogs that struggle being left alone
  • Rescue dogs with special needs and may need extra help adjusting to their new environment
  • Expert diggers or enthusiastic chewers
  • Reactive dogs that are hard to take around other dogs

    FEAR FREE, POSITIVE DOG TRAINING METHODS

    As well as providing in-home, private dog training Wollongong and Illawarra wide, Emily also has a “Walk and Train” service. This can be useful for dogs who need a little extra coaching with their walking manners or could use the extra exercise.

    WHAT IS POSITIVE DOG TRAINING?

    Positive reinforcement in dog training means teaching your dog what your WANT them to be doing rather than punishing them for unwanted behaviours. Switched On Dogs uses fear free methods for dog behaviour modification, with the belief that:

      • Rewarding good behaviour is more effective than punishment
        • Dogs should have a positive and loving relationship with their owner, not a fearful one
          • Dog training involves time, effort and commitment, and
            • Every dog can learn, with patience and time.

              DOG 'WALK AND TRAIN' SESSIONS

              Dog “Walk and Train” sessions involve your dog being collected from your home for a private training session. This service is great for  dogs who need a little extra work on their recall or leash manners. Many owners put off taking their dogs out because they are hard work when out on walks, yet regular exercise can actually reduce so many other undesirable behaviours at home. If you are time poor, this could be a suitable dog training option for you. Switched On Dogs can provide this kind of dog training in Wollongong and surrounding Illawarra suburbs.
