The art of keeping your dog engaged during training sessions 👀

Many owners when training their dogs come across a common hiccup in training and that’s keeping their dogs attention. Some people will quickly jump to the conclusion that their dog is ‘dumb’ or just doesn’t care but that’s not the case. When training your dog, especially when starting out we need to teach our dogs to keep their attention on us and be engaged with us. Without this engagement it’s impossible to teach your dog new skills.

Creating a bond with your dog through play as well as teaching them how to engage with you through positive reinforcement training techniques is essential to progress with your training. Once you have mastered keeping your dog engaged the training possibilities are endless.

If you’d like to start your training journey we would love to help you start your journey

Don't forget our new Walk & Train service is now available!

If you are located in Bundaberg/Gin Gin or surrounding areas, and are needing some training and additional exercise for you dog please contact us.

This service is suitable for reactive dogs and a great way to maintain training habits

Did you know that your ‘aggressive’ dog is probably just scared?

If you have a reactive dog that doesn’t like other dogs or people chances are high that they are reacting out of fear. This fear may be due to lack of appropriate socialisation or may have a genetic component.

When having your dog assessed for training this is an important distinction that is analysed during their assessment. At Whispering Wolf reactive dogs are something we are very passionate about and love to help our clients overcome these hurdles with their dogs.

Training is a vital aid when helping your dog through their reactivity and is life changing for both owners and dogs to overcome their reactivity.

If your dog is reactive, please reach out to start their training journey and help them overcome their fears.

Having trouble getting the time to exercise and train your dog?

Did you know we offer Walk & Trains to help assist with this. Walk & Trains can be as regular as you would like to schedule with many people opting for a weekly or fortnightly service. This service will enable you to reach your training goals which could be as simple as stopping your dog from pulling on the leash to reducing your dog’s reactively towards other animals and people.

Having a reactive dog can be very overwhelming for an owner.

What is your dog really thinking? 🤔

Knowing about your dogs body language is critical in the process of training. Dogs give subtle signs, that when you can recognise them will help you and your dog bond and have much better understanding of each other. By being able to understand your dog you can effectively communicate with them and training will become a breeze.

For any training needs message us via facebook or call on 0432 540 693

Happy New Year everyone!! 🥳

Thank you for everyone's patience over the holiday period. Stay tuned as we have some very exciting announcements in the next few weeks.

We will be open for new bookings as of February so if you're wanting some training for your pup please reach out. As some are aware last month my house partially burned down so it's been a complex process of sorting everything out so I can get back into dog training again.

Looking forward to the year ahead and meeting lots of new dogs along the way

Thank you for everyone's patience the past week!

I have been off adventuring in Perth at a week long training course so I can better help you and your dogs. I had so much fun and have learnt lots. I will be getting back to everyone's enquiries today 😁

Hero has been the latest pup on the block needing some training!

His mum has put an incredible amount of effort into his basic obedience and worked very hard on their connection. They are an awesome team! But Hero is having some troubles with strangers and other animals as he is quite scared of them. Which lead him to barking and lunging which makes walking very stressful as well as new people coming over near impossible.

We went through confidence building and walking skills in his session. He came along in leaps and bounds from the beginning of the session to the end. I'm super proud of his mum soaking up everything there was to learn. Hero still has a ways to go but he has made a massive improvement, and was even able to walk past a dog without a reaction!

If you have a reactive dog like Hero and are wanting to be less stresses about managing your dog please get in contact to start your training journey.

What are you plans this weekend with your dog?

02/08/2023

Training tip! 🐶

Small consistent training sessions are far more valuable to your dog than one long session once a week. By doing a short 5-10 minute session your dog will not tire as much and be much more interested.

And a happy dog will learn much faster than a tired dog!

🥳 ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE 🥳

This is Merlin, one of my personal dogs, my absolute heart dog. He is the most fun dog to train and teach new things to, he is so eager to learn.... but he's blind... So many trainers and competition judges have told me "forget competing with him, no blind dog could ever win anything"

But this past weekend we proved them wrong. I finally built up the courage to travel to Rockhampton to compete with Merlin... and guess what?! He did just amazing! We received 3 qualifications towards two separate titles, Trick Dog and Rally Obedience, also coming first in our tricks up against SIX dogs! We then came 3rd in both our Rally Obedience runs.

I am so so proud of Merlin and cannot wait to continue attending competitions.

If you have a dog that you think you can't do more with I promise you most certainly can. Contact us today to start your training journey

Meet little Sophie!

Sophie is going to grow up to do a big job of being her brothers emotional support dog. Her parents have done an incredible job of setting her up for success but we have come out to help fine tune her puppy training.

We will also soon lay the foundations of her higher level training next time we see her. Watching this baby pup grow up and learn lots of new things is going to be an absolute pleasure.

If you have a new puppy and wanting to nail down all those basics so you can ensure you have a well behaved older dog, get in contact today!

Super grateful for being able to spend a week over in Perth doing all things dog! 🐶

I was very excited to head over to Perth for a 4 day intensive training and able to learn lots and get my hands on some epic dogs. I will miss all my little dog buddies and new trainer friends I've made through the week!

Now after spending the weekend recovering, I'm super excited to do some training. If you're keen for a one on one consult just message the page and we can book you in 🐕‍🦺
