Common Mistakes People Make Regarding Dog Obedience Training in Melbourne

Over the years, we have learned that there are several mistakes that you should avoid if you plan to train your dog. We’ve identified the most common mistakes for you.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is not practicing between classes for dog obedience training in Melbourne. Simply employing our services once a week will not be enough to teach your dog the behaviour you’re seeking. The techniques that you have learned with us during your lesson should be incorporated into your daily routine with your dog. This will help to reinforce what your dog has learned in our lesson.
In addition, you should avoid repeating any training that is not producing results. If you keep trying to teach your dog the same thing and they are not picking it up, you need to stop and re-evaluate. The same goes for repeating the same command non-stop. For example, if you tell your dog to ‘sit’ but they won’t, don’t keep repeating the same order.
Finally, check your mood before you train your dog. Things are unlikely to go well if you are short-tempered and annoyed, especially when your dog fails to achieve what you expect straight away.

Problems Elite K-9 Work Dogs Australia Addresses

If you live within the Melbourne metro, we’re your trainer of choice. We also service locations a bit further afield, but there are additional charges for the extended travelling time.

Our services include puppy training as well as addressing behavioural issues that you have noticed.
In the comfort of your own home, we will help with several issues, including but not limited to aggression, anxiety, destructive behaviour, biting, and hyperactivity. We will also assist with work needed on leash pressure.
Additionally, your dog may need help with conditioning or desensitising. If you have moved recently or have a new family member, your dog may have trouble adjusting. We will work with you and your dog to slowly expose them to this new situation so that they are no longer anxious.

I was too scared to walk my over protective, 1 1/2 year old dog in public, he'd have outbursts at most people passing & at over 100lbs it was a dangerous situation. With a WHOLE lot of time & patience, Elite K-9 Work Dogs gave me simple tools and knowledge to be able to read my dog and help him to function in many situations, most importantly to shut down outbursts. He actually has K9 friends that he plays with and LOVES his walks even with joggers & other passers by. He is a much more BALANCED dog today.

I received Leo, the Golden Retriever at 6 months of age. He came with no training, and no boundaries. One terrible morning, Leo was dragging me across the park. Dwight saw me struggling and approached me with some advice. Within seconds Leo was sitting at his side calmly. For several months on a weekly basis Dwight patiently and gently put Leo through the paces. Dwight is a very calm and patient man and his connection with K9s is remarkable. He is truly gifted in understanding dogs. I can’t ever thank you enough Dwight for helping me with Leo.
My goal was to be able to take my Rottweiler out with me to public places and know I would have control. Leroy has a thing for birds and other dogs, so it wasn’t always easy. Now he is 115lbs and I can take him anywhere. Dwight taught me calm, patient correction methods that I still use on a daily basis. The result is the freedom to take your dog anywhere worry-free and the strong bond you build with your pet.

We have a GSD, Shadow, who was extremely scared and aggressive towards other people and dogs. After spending hundreds of dollars on other trainers and having no improvement. It amazes me how there was an almost immediate change in Shadow's behaviour once we started training with Dwight. Shadow is now a lot calmer and happier, he is exceptionally obedient. Dwight's style of training is so easy to implement into everyday life. We highly recommend Dwight for any dog problems, big or small!

After searching for a dog trainer for a couple months we were lucky enough to come across the path of Dwight. Dwight, like any other professional with many years of experience, has an innate sense and intuition that is unmatched when it comes to dog training. Dwight's little tricks of the trade and amazing patience was invaluable to making this all happen. Not only is Dwight an accomplished trainer, he also has a great sense of humor and wit. Dwight is simply the BEST.
