Cause and Effect Dog Training - Toowoomba and Darling Downs

07/11/2025

Have you tried to train your dog yourself? Have you used Google? Have you tried classes? Different Trainers? Are you stuck about what else to do?
Getting the right training and knowledge for you and your dog is key.
Dog training isnt generic one size fits all approach. Each family and each dog is different and your trainer should be able to pivot and change their approach, methods and the way they train to suit.
Your dog is special. He deserves a trainer who is able to understand who he is, why he is having trouble and approach training from that perspective.
I am passionate about teaching families the whys of the approaches I use with their dogs first and foremost. With that understanding everything else becomes easier.

This brought tears to my eyes

So many people have issues with their puppy mouthing and biting. Remember, your puppy is taking his cues from YOU. There is nothing wrong with letting your puppy know that what he is currently doing is not allowed. Puppies usually get more mouthy when excited so watch what you and your body language is telling him. Changes are you are making it way worse.

As one of the most experienced dog trainers in Toowomba, you can be sure that the training and advice you receive will be specific to your dog and that it will work if you are committed.
Training your dog is 10% trainer and 90% owner, but you do need to know the right approach and what to do.

Having a multi dog house hold is not the same as only having a single dog.
Having more than 1 dog is certainly more work, more committment and more training so that everyone understands how to behave, have respect for each other (dogs respecting dogs, dogs respecting humans AND humans respecting dogs) and have clarity on the rules of the household. Yes rules. Just because your pet is a dog, doesnt mean there shouldnt be rules of behaviour,
If you have a problematic dog, it wont be solved by getting a friend. In fact it more than likely it will double your trouble.
Why not reach out and let me help.
