It’s beer thirty #looseleadsdogtraining #dogsinourkennels
We’ve recently picked up heaps of new followers so let’s introduce ourselves to everyone!
Our trainers have a diverse background in training dogs for security, family protection, tracking, obedience and herding livestock, as well as managing dog training kennels and animal shelters. We are constantly furthering our knowledge, benefiting from the experience of a range instructors specializing in training dogs for search and rescue, law enforcement, animal welfare, military, herding and dog sports.
After developing a wealth of knowledge gained over many years of dog training, we are now going a step further so we can help make your life with your dog more fulfilling.
We offer face to face dog training appointments and board and train packages at our facility near Wellington in Central West NSW.
A board and train package with us involves us picking up your dog, multiple training sessions per day, all food, insulated kennels, returning your dog to you and most importantly, teaching you how to maintain your dog’s training!

Meet King - when he arrived he had very little food drive and wasn’t all that interested in toys. But he did love to please, so initially I used spatial pressure, combined with mild compulsion and heaps of praise to work on a recall. I then introduced food by making a real big game of it. This lead to being able to lure him to teach exercises such as the drop we are working on here.
When I picked Loki up, he had 4 serious attempts at biting me in the the first few minutes. Now he’s at the point of being safely handled by others- this is his first time with Ellie!
It seems to be the trend at the moment to walk your dog in a harness to “stop” him pulling. There are basically two types of harness. Those that make it easier for the dog to pull such as sledding and tracking harnesses - these will just lead to the dog pulling harder and possibly pulling you over! The other design makes it uncomfortable for the dog to pull - these actually put pressure on the dogs skeletal system and can cause long term damage to your dog’s shoulder. For these reasons is much more human and safer to teach a loose lead walk on a fitted collar than to use a harness. Get in touch and we’ll teach you how!
Why train with us? Because we have experience with a broad range of training styles and have trained an extensive range of dogs for a variety of roles. From pets to dogs working in a variety of roles we can do it all and we don’t turn any dog away, no matter what the issue!
Because of our experience, we are able do a unique training plan for each dog.
Barney is a prime example. His extreme level of arousal meant that he wasn’t interested in food or toys to motivate but he did love to please. We combined this with mild compulsion to get him into a calm state and then we introduced treats.
Harley has had a very rough start to life before his current owners gave him a better life. He had severe dog and human aggression and as a result was becoming a real handful. By building his confidence through basic obedience, incremental desensitization and games we have been able to get him to where he can go on walks with other dogs and be handled by other people. He’s still got a long way to go but he has improved so much.
Barney has been staying with us to work on basic obedience but his underlying issue is a high level of arousal combined with very little self control. Teaching a solid drop gives him the opportunity to learn how to control himself and while he he doing this his arousal levels come down as a result of having a task to focus on
Monty has been staying with us to work on his dog aggression. After lots of work developing control and building confidence so he doesn’t feel he needs to be aggressive, he progressed to going for a pack walk in the bush!
