Alisa Voss – Dog Training by DogTech – Sunshine Coast, Queensland

By DogTech | Published: August 18, 2011
Service Area: Sunshine Coast
My Qualifications: I hold a Graduate Diploma in Animal Studies and I am currently awaiting certification for my Doctorate of Animal Studies. I am also a qualified Veterinary Nurse with over 20 years industry experience.
My Background: I have recently joined the DogTech team as the Sunshine Coast representative, allowing me to fulfill my lifelong ambition to bring owners and their dogs closer together through gentle training methods and behaviour modification. Dogs and their relationship to people is my passion and the reason I undertook many years of formal studies to obtain my qualifications.
I have been fortunate enough to own dogs from an early age and I know the incredible pleasure they bring when the relationship is harmonious. The loyalty, affection and love they give us is beyond measure. I have owned a variety of breeds, including very large and headstrong males, so I am confident working with all breeds, sizes and temperaments. I am currently training Assistance Dogs for the disabled, which is incredibly rewarding for me as well as the owners and dogs.
My qualifications and veterinary nursing experience also allow me to assess possible medical conditions that may be influencing a behavioural issue.
I currently share my life with two beautiful dogs––a chocolate Labrador and a rather large Bull Mastiff, who is also a registered Assistance Dog through my training.
My Objective: By combining my formal training, experience and passion, I offer you a very broad range of knowledge and skills to ensure your dog receives a thorough assessment and a behavioural training program that is customised to your specific needs. I am committed to assisting owners who are experiencing behavioural problems and also those who would simply like some basic command training.
How: Training can be conducted at your home or in class depending on your requirements. Both you and your dog will find the proven Dogtech Whisper Wise rewards based training fun and easy to learn and practise. The technique uses only positive reinforcement and reward-based training. No harsh or fear-based methods are required, so the experience is very positive for owners and their dogs.
Puppies:
Training and socialising your puppy will ensure you have a well-balanced, well-mannered friend for life. I will be operating group classes where your puppy can learn all of the basic commands, how to interact with other puppies and you will have a lot of fun too. I can also train your puppy in your home.
Whether you have a problem dog or you would simply like some assistance with basic training – I can help. Please feel free to contact me with any doggie problems you may be experiencing and I will be more than happy to assist you in any way I can.

Area: Hawkesbury, New South Wales

By DogTech | Published: May 5, 2011

Area:  Hawkesbury, New South Wales

My name is Trent Cook and I have had a love of dogs all my life.  I’ve been lucky enough to have grown up with a range of different breeds within our family.  I cannot recall a moment when we have not had dogs in our lives.

From one time to another, we’ve had Corgi’s, German Shephards, Rottweillers, Maltese x Shih Tzus and currently I have a beautiful 1 year old chocolate Labrador called Angus – he’s my mate!

Prior to joining DogTech I was a NSW Police Officer for 9 years where I divided my service between General Duties and Forensic Services as a Crime Scene Investigator.

When I was given the opportunity to become part of the DogTech team I jumped at the chance.  I am now able to have a career in a field I am very passionate about.  I am very much a people person and enjoy the interaction I get to have on a daily basis.

Dogs are great companions and friends, I am looking forward to being able to assist owners for a lifetime of happiness with their own little mate.

My name is Troy Fitzgerald.  In my 10 years of working with dogs, I soon learned their importance, not only to us but to nature itself.

After living with a pack of dogs for the last 10 years and training

and rehabilitating countless others, I have found it a passion in passing on my knowledge to people who truly need help with their dogs.

I am very excited to be the DogTech instructor for the Gold Coast and look forward to working with owners and their dogs on a daily basis.

By DogTech | Published: January 30, 2011

Anita Strong – Dogtech Trainer of the Year 2000

Master Trainer Award – 2010

Area: Sydney Hills district

I’m Anita Strong, and I have always been crazy about dogs–to the extent that I was nicknamed the ‘Dog Stalker’ as I would go out of my way to watch a dog for its cute antics or to say hello to it.

Previous to joining Dogtech, I worked for many years with large multi-national companies in the UK and Sydney, primarily in Marketing. When I decided on a lifestyle change, my husband encouraged me to go for something I was really passionate about–which came down to dogs or chocolate!! I decided on dogs, as it offered more interesting options and was better for my health. Read More »

Karen Harvey — DogTech® Behaviorist & Trainer

Area: Brisbane Southwest

Hi, my name is Karen Harvey and I’m passionate about dogs & their well-being.

I have had dogs in my life since I was one year old, and a dog has been my constant companion ever since.

My career path in Dog Training began when an opinionated Miniature Poodle named Reggie came into my life. It was clear that serious training was a must, or he would be “The Boss”.

As I learned the fundamentals of dog training in order to ensure harmony with Reggie, I also discovered I had a talent for communicating & sharing this information with other dog owners. Read More »
