Sit, stay, down–does your dog know these commands? Hervey Bay’s dog trainers offer obedience classes for pooches in all stages of life. Whether you’ve just adopted a puppy or you’ve welcomed an older dog into the family, you can build a solid relationship foundation with dog training. It’s important that your pet is responsive to cues such as ‘come’ or ‘down.’ Take your dog to the park or beach with confidence and be sure they’ll listen at those critical moments. You don’t want to be chasing your pet across a field because they refuse to listen!

Most dog training schools kick off learning with a puppy preschool course. You’ll go over the basics of reward and reinforcement to make sure you understand the principles of training. House train your pet and teach them all the basic commands. Not only will this make your life together more manageable, but it will also strengthen the bond you have with your animal. Plus, if you ever go on holidays, your friends and family will be much more likely to care for a well-behaved dog!

After graduating from puppy school, your pet can continue their training with an intermediate course. This expands on the basics they’ve already learned. An experienced trainer will work with you to find solutions that work for your dog’s personality and breed. Hervey Bay’s dog trainers work with all breeds of canines, from Chihuahuas, Jack Russells and Maltese through to Border Collies, German Shepherds and Great Danes. Continue on to advanced training or find a group course to suit your dog’s level. Dog training schools can be a social event for both you and your pooch!

If your pet has picked up a bad habit or you’re struggling with group courses, one on one dog training may be the solution. A professional trainer can help identify the root of the problem and find an effective remedy. Eliminate your furry friend’s bad habits, such as antisocial behaviour with other dogs, jumping on visitors or near-constant barking.
