Daring Hounds

Another 5 weeks of obedience completed! I am truly honored to have had the opportunity to guide you on this journey towards a more obedient and well-behaved dog.
Your active participation, willingness to learn and implementation of the training techniques I hope have not only helped your own dogs but have also inspired and taught you what YOU are capable of.
I think all your doggies have made tremendous progress and I look forward to encountering you all in the wild 😝

Want to work on some of the basic obedience skills and confidence building? Well there’s 2 spots left for THIS SUNDAY 23RD APRIL

Here’s a super kind review from one of our most recent students
“Before I started training with Sophie (Daring Hounds), Hanz (3y/o) was terrified and would only be carried on his ‘walks’. Within the 5 weeks of training Hanz quickly grew in his confidence and our bond as a team increased. I’ve noticed a huge change in his behaviour on walks and willingness to perform tricks/commands. Family members have also noticed and commented on this. Sophie has equiped Hanz and me to continue training and increasing confidence whilst out in public or in unfamiliar situations.”

Mr Kip has also finished his 5 week Puppy PT program!
Kip is a large breed (Catahoula X) boy who sadly missed out on puppy preschool in the Christmas season, and is a big bouncing ball of energy who loves to play with his geriatric dog brothers.
His 5 week program was designed to; teach him boundaries, recall, the foundations of loose leash work & staying calm in exciting environments. Overall I think this puppy did an absolutely stella job and I can’t wait to see the amazing dog he grows up to be 🎉

🌟 Congratulations super star pupil Timmy 🌟
Timmy is a Maremma puppy who enrolled in a 5 week puppy PT program! What’s that? Depends on your dog! It’s 5 weeks of tailored training to suit your lifestyle, for Tim it was a heavy focus on recall and leave it. Timmy was a chaser, chickens and sheep on her property were exciting to run after, but after some FANTASTIC dedication from her mum who kept up with her training homework Timmy is going absolutely fabulously with being called away or asked to leave exciting stimuli. I’m super proud of you both Timmy & Tory, thanks for trusting me to help you navigate training :)

Wanting to work on some of those foundational skills?
In the obedience group class we work on the staples: loose leash walking, stay & recall. These skills are substantially more difficult with distractions around, the goal of the group class is to help ‘life proof’ these skills, each week is progressively harder, with our final week testing their skills in the busy heart of Toowoomba’s Queens Park!
You’ll be offered support throughout the duration of the 5 week course, and have access to the private Facebook even after you have completed your final week of training.

The invaluable fact is; if you play with your dog, you’ll have better results in your training!
Building a good and positive relationship with your dog through play, only reinforces how amazing they think you are. If your dog thinks you’re the most amazing, wonderful, rewarding being in the world, they far less likely to be distracted by other beings like birds, dogs, or even other people, that we so commonly see dogs responding to when we’re out and about.

Practice makes (relatively) permanent, so the more you practice saying “sit, sit, sit, sit” the more you’re conditioning your dog to NOT sit (stay, recall, down, pose whatever you’ve said) the first time you ask! Ask once, and be patient, if they can’t do it, then they might not have a strong enough foundation for what you’re asking them!

Amazing work to the most recent 'Obedience Class' group!
All dogs came a long way and did super well in their final session in a very busy Queens Park, each performing: stay, heeling, focus & recall amidst the carnival chaos. Everyone should be super proud of what they have achieved
