Averil Coe

Area: Central Victoria

My name is Averil Coe and I am the Dogtech Instructor for Central Victoria. I have been involved in training dogs and in working with people since the early 1990′s.  When I met John Richardson and he shared the Dogtech training and business philosophy’s  with me, I knew Dogtech was the way to go. I love helping people with their doggy problems, and Dogtech’s unique system enables me to do this in a way which is both easy for owners and gentle on the dog.Results: The results speak for themselves. Many of the dogs I have helped have had very serious problems–eg: separation anxiety, inter dog aggression etc. with the owner at their wits end.

Gentle reward based training: By using the gentle, reward based Dogtech methods, I have been able to assist owners in resolving these issues. The result is happy relaxed doggies with proud human companions!

My commitment: I am care about my clients & their dogs. If you are planning on raising the perfect puppy, have a dog with problems, or a problem dog…I can help, guaranteed.

Hi Averil,

We received our puppy as a ‘House Warming’ present -  just what everyone needs! He is said to be a Maltese Terrier x Shi Tzu named Charlie. At about the same time our son brought home a Bull Arab pup called Jess.

Charlie has remained a small dog, but Jess has grown into a large, solid, house destroying, lovable monster.

Both are about two years old. Our son and Jess traveled around the country for a while –coming home on the odd occasions with Jess being left behind sometimes until our son moved away and Jess stayed.

No one knew who was boss, or what the system was. There was no structure between the two dogs or us.

Taking Jess for a walk was non-existent as she was too strong, uncontrollable and had sometimes escaped us and run onto the highway barking and growling at anything that moved. She had become very aggressive and over protective of me (the mum of all of this!). If any one walked past the front of the house, if the neighbors where in their yard, or if someone stopped at the conveniences or picnic area across the highway (including a lot of heavy transport vehicles) Jess would be trying to attack them through the front windows or the side gate.

Jess was very trainable, but we had no idea where to start or how to work with two totally different dogs. I had looked at a few methods of training, but I was not confident with any of them.

Whilst on a visit to the Vets, I picked up a brochure with the Dogtech® details. As soon as we were home I looked at the website and became a bit excited so I sent off an email explaining our situation — that evening I received a return phone call from Averil and immediately found someone who could relate to my distress.

A time was set for the first appointment and MY retraining began. ( I did not have to go through the stress of taking the dogs anywhere either!)

Over the following weeks I went through every emotion and worked diligently at the dogs training and my thinking. The results have been nothing short of amazing!

Just by implementing some simple strategies such as sleeping arrangements, tethering, and toys, has made a huge difference in our household and we enjoy putting these things into place as the dogs are so much more relaxed and know what is going on.

It is now a few weeks since our final session with Averil, and the improvements have continued. We still have some issues that will take a bit longer to be resolved, but they are definitely improving.

I purchased the book, The Dog Whisperer®, by John Richardson, from Averil, and it is a great resource book when explaining to everyone else what and why we are implementing these different strategies. Our neighbors are the ones that have really noticed the peace and quiet and the front room curtains are not under threat any more.

Our walks are even becoming enjoyable!

Our son returned home for a weeks leave and he was really surprised to see the new Jess.

We cannot thank John Richardson, DogTech®, and Averil Coe enough for their insights, thought provoking ideas and for being able to give us back out family.

Hi Averil,

Hope you are well. Thank you very much for your help with Jaxon.

We had some great success with the training program used by DogTech. Our staffie Jaxon was a very dominant fellow and quite stressed out before we met Averil Coe of Dogtech.

Averil helped us gain more control over Jaxon, adjusting his belief that he was the ‘leader of the pack’.  It did not take long to notice the changes in Jaxon. He is now much better at socializing with other dogs and does not get as distracted or stirred up by things going on around him.

Jaxon seems to enjoy the training as he has to think quite hard and it is also one-on-one time that he gets to spend with us.

Not only did the Dogtech program settle Jaxon, it has also given us some life long techniques to keep Jaxon on track.

Thanks again,

Hi Averil

It has been a great pleasure to have had your support in helping us deal with our puppy Ellie, who as you know, is a real live wire!!!

You have been a great teacher and your techniques and ideas were simple and easy to follow. This made it easy for us to practice. We were surprised at how quickly Ellie responded to some of the commands you had suggested.

Your caring, but firm attitude and your knowledge about how dogs think, gave us insight into why and how our puppy is the way she is. We were impressed by your calm attitude which was not threatening, both to Ellie and us,–this gave us the confidence that we can achieve our goal.

We have been practicing the techniques you have suggested; sometimes our puppy can be challenging, but with persistence she will excel, just like us.

I am particularly amazed at how we humans need training also, in relating to our dog.

We would definitely recommend you & Dogtech to our friends and will not hesitate to contact you if the need arises again!

Thanks again, Best wishes,

Russell, Ghandi, and Ellie

Having two energetic Blue Heelers, I have tried many methods to get them to behave, but being smart dogs they adjusted to these techniques quickly and would go back to ignoring me.

I found the techniques, which Averil Coe from Dogtech taught me, to be gentle yet firm. Also, Averil helped me better understand a dog’s body language and how they react to ours.

I highly recommend giving Dogtech a call to help with your furry family. The training methods have helped bring me closer to my Blue Heelers and it is great to have them respond to my commands.

The training is fun and doesn’t feel like it takes too much time out of each day.

Sincerely, Wanda Hayes

1 February 2010 — Tracy’s Grooming Service

My name is Tracy Collett, I am the owner and manager of the above business. I contacted Averil Coe from Dogtech late 2009 with some issues with my three dogs. We got together early 2010. Molly is a 2 year old Boxer bitch, Mater is a 1 year old Boxer male, and Punch is a 14 week old Boxer puppy.

My previous dogs (some years ago) had all been to obedience training. I had trialled some of them with success. So I didn’t think these dogs would be an issue!!!

The issues with Mater were, when I was walking him he was totally unmanageable, refusing to obey commands. I put it down to being his immaturity. He was so attached to me, that I couldn’t even have a shower without him banging on the bathroom door to be near me. Wherever I was, he was one step behind me. Also, he would not come back when called. He would take off, running around with his nose in the air, ignoring me.

Molly’s issues (I didn’t think she had any!!!! – Until Averil came out), were excessive barking and growling when anyone entered the house (even my husband and very close friends). She was very protective of myself and the house. According to Averil, she saw her job as being leader of the pack. Walking her was not an issue.

Punch was introduced to a puppy program. This program was fun and most enjoyable.

Averil came and explained to us what the dogs were doing and gave simple methods to help us. Within a week of following her instructions, we all noticed that Molly was much better with the barking and actually allowed people into the house without too much fuss. She still barks to let us know when someone arrives, but does not continue to bark. Matter is much better with the separation issues and is starting to come when called. Punch is learning very quickly and is a pleasure to train.

Averil’s knowledge, gentle teaching methods and professional advice have helped us overcome our small, but significant problems with our dogs. I can now enjoy my dogs.

I have no hesitation in recommending Averil and the Dogtech program to anyone that has a problem with their dog, no matter how small!!!
