All Breeds Dog Training in Adelaide

All in all breaking down every question i get from a dog owner is

” How do i get my dog to do…..” or

“why wont my dog do”

Such simple questions yet surrounded by a large political minefield. Many of you have already waded through vastly different approaches to dog training.Most owners want to train their dog “right” but in their journey of finding right the are confronted with conflicting ideas of what they should be doing.

In addition to these simple questions they ask

“how long will it take to train my dog”

“how much will it cost”

and finally “how reliable will it be”

So i ask you..

Do you know what you are looking for? Can you picture it?
What questions would help you more clearly define that which you seek?
What is your motivation for wanting to train your dog?
Do you have a sense that the trainers you contact are prepared to follow your agenda or do they seem
more interested in substituting their own agenda?
Do you have a sense that you are being listened to?

Information to make a decision.

Let me make it quite clear from the start. As obvious as it may seem dog training has been going on for centuries… its nothing new yet what is NEW is that certain certain camps are attempting to apply various “learning” theory to their methodology and label it as new or modern.We at allbreeds dog training are all for any new ideas its good to have choices yet these camps infer that their way is morally superior wrap it in big ball of feel good cotton wool and push the idea like there is no tomorrow.
So with all this so called “new” training you would think that if it works like they say it does the results would be apparent in some simple obedience tests. Surely these “new” training methods would increase reliability and save you time in training your dog… In a word NO.
Is it a coincidence that now more than ever we see dogs walking in harnesses or head haltis.These same dogs have been to dog training yet they aren’t trained they are being controlled by the apparatus attached to them yet it is being touted as “dog friendly” I listen to what many in that movement are touting
as “the latest scientific knowledge and advances in dog training.” Those same trainers see themselves as
“the new wave” and are quick to point out the methods of yesteryear are “old fashioned” and some even
suggest those old methods are less effective, unnecessary and even abusive. They like to preach the
doctrine of “conditioning” rather than training and management over compliance. Yet the fact remains
- the results speak for themselves and on this count these “new” methods fail miserably.

As you consider choosing a training method you should consider the following:
What is the outcome I’m looking for?
Will this training meet any standard of reliability?
What results has the trainer produced and what end-product can I expect?
How long will it take to produce those results?
How will the training hold up under a variety of distracting conditions?
Am I being offered real substance or only “feel-good” fluff?

By all means compare dog training schools but ask yourself the above mentioned questions. But please firstly unwrap all that feel good dog friendly humane covering that some will present you and look at the reality.
