Welcome to Barkers in Balance
Dog Training and Dog Behaviour Problems in Port Stephens, Newcastle & Maitland
Why?
Some dogs begin to grow up and just don’t “get it”, particularly when
it comes to being appropriate around other dogs. Reasons for this can
include lack of early socialisation experiences, significant negative
incidents with other inappropriate dogs, lack of willingness to look to
the human for direction or perhaps just lack of consistent training.
The result is usually a dog who lunges, barks and growls at other dogs.
What? During a 6-week course growly dogs will learn:
to relax more in the presence of other dogs
to
respond more quickly to commands such as “Sit”,
“Drop" and “Watch” in the presence of other dogs
to voluntarily focus on the human in the presence of other dogs
to practise appropriate ways of greeting other dogs
The humans will learn:
a variety of strategies to use when their dog becomes agitated
to check their own body language when handling their dog
to better read the body language of their dog and other dogs
Who?
This course is for dogs who are reactive on the leash, often to the
point where the human won’t or can’t walk them. The class is not
suitable for dogs who have seriously injured or killed another animal.
Dogs who have reached that level of aggression need to be seen in a
private consultation.
