Signs You Should Invest in K-9 Dog Training Melbourne

Consult us if your beloved pooch over-reacts to things in the environment. Responses may include a tense body, growling, lunging, barking, showing teeth, and forceful eye contact. These signs may mean that your dog is anxious.

You may find it challenging to handle the responses, which may derive from genetic makeup, lack of socialisation, fear, discomfort, or having had an intensely scary experience. Your four-legged companion may get upset by and be reactive to movement, noises, other dogs, people, or animals in general, or a combination of these.
Living with such concerns can be problematic as you need to consistently manage your dog’s environment to prevent triggers, which can be hard work. Scolding often makes the situation worse as it adds to the anxiety and will not cure the problem.
It is never too late. Our K-9 dog training in Melbourne reduces or even eliminates reactivity. We learn to understand the behaviour and its origin. Our trainer offers behaviour modification techniques that can address the causes and prevent escalation.

Consistent work on the issue, via K-9 training in Melbourne, the required know-how and experience, has a good chance of improving the concern over time. You may even see small steps forward within a few weeks.

The Benefits of K-9 Training in Melbourne

Our K-9 dog training in Melbourne provider does not believe in quick fixes but works with you and your dog – no matter the size or breed – for as long as it takes.

Experience has taught us that you can solve all problems if you spend the time and commit yourself to the process.
We gently expose dogs to disconcerting environments or situations and condition or desensitise them to lessen their anxiety. Talk to us if you have added a new pet or baby to the family, have moved, or if Bella or Charlie fears going to the vet or refuses to walk on leash.
Does your dog show aggression towards birds, trucks, or bicycles? Does he bite or mouth, jump up, cry and bark when alone, engage in destructive behaviour such as digging up your garden, or get hyperactive during certain circumstances?

K-9 training in Melbourne makes your buddy joyful and content. A happy dog is playful, has a high and waggy tail, relaxed body and ears, soft eyes, and leans into you when enjoying your attention.

About Elite K-9 Work Dogs Australia

Our dog whisperer, Dwight Higgins, is from the Bahamas and has been working in Melbourne for the past 3 years. He has an exceptional gift for working with dogs, and his fair, firm, yet calm approach achieves incomparable results.

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.
