Alpha Lykos K9 Training and Behaviour Transforming Dogs and Empowering Owners: Nationally Certified Dog Trainer servicing FNQ This is the moment i became interested in Canine aggression.

Taylor Skinner- Owner and Head trainer
I have always had a passion for animals and their behaviour, especially dogs. I rescued one of our family dogs Orion from a local community, he was covered in ticks and barely alive. This was the first dog I had trained, When I was 15 i was mauled by a family friends’ dog. This was a setback in my relationship with Orion as i was nervous to play with him aft

er returning from surgery. It was a long recovery, but I was able to get passed my fear, but the question of why the dog had attacked me had always made me wonder. Over the years I have worked in multiple roles in the animal industry, i have been a zookeeper, vet nurse and have worked in pet stores as a salesperson and a dog trainer. My first role as a dog trainer was while I was working at a pet store, where i decided to start Alpha Omega Dogs. At the time i had my dog Zeus who had anxiety and aggression issues, so i began studying canine behaviour as there was nothing in the training course that helped with behavioural issues. I saw there was a need for a personal approach to training, not every dog or family is the same so they shouldn’t be treated or trained the same way. Since then I have studied canine psychology My dream was to have smaller classes so clients could have more time with their trainers and private training that was tailored to each household. This dream is now a reality
Key interests/Skills- Aggression, Enrichment, behavioural issues, and trick training.

🐾✨ Why are position boxes crucial in dog training? Let’s dive in!

Position boxes are not only a fantastic tool for training assistance dogs but are also beneficial for all dogs! 🐶 When we work in the position box, we focus on our dogs' movements, promoting fluid motion without them stepping forward with their front paws. This ensures they’re using their training space effectively.

Proper movement is vital for a dog’s health. A fluid drop from a stand is much better for their body than a sit drop, helping maintain muscle engagement and reducing injury risks.

Now, why are position boxes especially beneficial for assistance dogs? Think about it: when these dogs are out in public, like at a checkout line, they must manage their space effectively to avoid being a hazard to themselves or others. By training them to fold into a drop from a stand, we ensure they remain calm and controlled, without walking forward or backward. This skill is essential for their safety and the safety of those around them!

Let’s keep our pups moving gracefully and responsibly! 🐕❤️

Food Friday: Why Dogs Need Variety in Their Raw Diet 🍖🥩
Just like humans, dogs thrive on variety! 🐾 A well-rounded raw diet includes proteins from different animals (chicken, lamb, beef, turkey), plus a mix of bones, organs, and veggies to ensure a balance of nutrients. 🦴
Why is variety so important? It prevents nutrient deficiencies, encourages proper digestion, and helps your dog enjoy their meals more! Plus, introducing new proteins and flavors keeps your dog from getting bored with their food. 🐕🍗
Remember, a healthy dog is a happy dog, and variety is key to long-term health! 🐾

🐾 Exciting news from our latest training session! We took the plunge and worked on the "boring stuff" with our two furry friends, and they absolutely nailed it! 🎉

This was our first time doing this exercise with them, and we couldn't be prouder of their progress. But here's a fun twist: Can you guess which dog is which? 🤔🐶🐕

Happy Food Friday! 🦴 Why Bones Are Important in Your Dog's Diet
Whether your dog is on a raw diet or kibble, bones are an essential part of their nutrition! 🐾
In a raw diet, bones make up a percentage of their daily intake, but even if your dog is on kibble, they still benefit from bones. Now, you might hear from your vet that "bones are bad!" and that's true for certain types—like heavy-set bones such as big beef leg bones, which can cause damage. But softer, edible bones are really good for your dog, and the more variety, the better!
Bones do wonders for your dog's teeth, naturally cleaning them while they chew. 🪥 If you've ever had to take your dog to the vet for a dental clean, you know it's neither fun nor cheap! Save yourself some time and money by giving your dog bones as part of their diet.
Different types of bones make your dog chew in different ways. 🐶 Meaty bones encourage gnawing and ripping, which is like nature's dental floss, while other bones help clean teeth at the back of the mouth. 🦷
We’ve got a variety of bones to suit every dog:
🐔 Chicken necks (perfect for small dogs or as part of a raw diet)
🦘 Roo thighs
🐄 Small beef bones
🦘 Roo tails
🦃 Turkey necks
Your dog’s teeth (and your wallet) will thank you! 🦷✨

🐾✨ I'll say it once, and I'll say it again — a trained dog is a safe dog! 🐶💖

Repetitive work on foundational training might seem boring and may not yield instant results, but having a dog you can trust without constant worry is truly worth its weight in gold! 💛 Since Harlow has only recently joined our family, we've made it a priority to focus on his foundational skills. Holding a position is crucial for him right now!

And remember, even older and well-trained dogs can benefit from revisiting their foundations. Let's commit to building strong, trusting relationships with our furry friends! 🏆 M&M Companion Retrievers

🐾 Raw Feeding Made Easy for You & Your Pup! 🐾
Feeding your dog raw isn't just about giving them meat (if only it was that simple!). Your dog needs the right balance of muscle meat, edible bone, organ meat (the right kinds!), and veggies – and all the quantities need to be just right to make it complete. 🥩🥕🍖
While making raw food at home can help you cut costs and gives you peace of mind knowing exactly what your dog is eating, calculating everything can be a real pain. And with so much conflicting info online, it’s hard to know where to start. That's where we come in! 👩‍⚕️🐶
We’re offering custom diets for clients who purchase 2 weeks or more of food at a time. We’ll provide you with a specific daily meal plan tailored to your dog’s unique needs! 💪
Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ We pack your dog’s food into 7-day batches. 2️⃣ You simply mix it with veggies. 3️⃣ We recommend making 3-day batches and weighing out the food, but you can also divide into daily servings and take them out as needed!
Let us be your K9 nutritionist so you don’t have to stress. Let’s make raw feeding easier and healthier for your dog! 💚
