Another great 5 star review for Melbourne trainer Rod Sinclair👏

“Rod came out to our place this morning to assist us with our one year old Golden and five year old malshy who were ruling the house. Within 10mins he had complete control. Rod has a very calmly nature which made both our dogs feel safe. He is extremely knowledgeable and keeps the training basic so that the whole family can participate. We are looking forward to what the next few weeks bring. Thanks Rod”

WOW… just WOW. What an eye opening experience. I can’t believe the results in just 2 hours. Rod explained everything clearly, was engaging and understood us. He reinforced certain things throughout our time together, which helped a lot. We are soo happy, relieved and grateful to him. Can’t wait to check in with him in a few weeks. Not to mention he will be available to us anytime we need. 😧 the only thing I’m disappointed with is that I didn’t meet him earlier. We are forever grateful ☺️

Archie the beautiful male Rottweiler, wasn’t keen on rules and was trying to control everything. Going through an emotional time can absolutely affect our dogs’ behaviour. They feel it as an imbalance in our energy field and often either, act out our emotions, or, try to take over responsibility and control of the environment. When we are ready, it’s time to give back and provide strong loving leadership for them so they can rebalance, heal and relax.

Dog Training isn’t something you do; it’s something you live. Every interaction is shaping their behaviour and understanding of the world.

When dealing with behaviour issues we have two basic options. We can manage (basically learn to live with) the issue or we can actually fix it.

Managing can involve actively avoiding situations and triggers, using distraction (treats etc) or asking for a replacement action like sit or stay.

Examples of managing behaviour are, crossing the road to avoid other dogs, putting your dog away when you have guests and having to rely on treats to get your dogs attention and to listen to you.

The other option is to actually address the issue and remove the desire for the unwanted behaviour.

Identifying and addressing a behavioural issue at it’s source should always be the first option and long term goal. Managing isn’t fixing.

We believe creating genuine connection, trust and respect is a better foundation than manipulating your dogs attention with treats and high pitched voices.

During his recent visit to Adelaide, one of our Sitdropstay Melbourne Trainers, Rod Sinclair, had the pleasure of meeting and working with our clients dog, Diesel, the stunning and super stable Shepherd x Malinois. We think they looked great together.
