Averil Coe - DogTech Central Victoria

The new DogTech® Puppy School will be operated by Averil Coe, the DogTech® Behavioral Training Therapist for Central Victoria in conjunction with Seymour Central Vets.

‘ Veterinarians recommend Puppy Schools to new puppy owners. One of the key periods of a puppy’s life is from 8 to 16 weeks — this is the crucial stage where puppies learn what is — and isn’t — acceptable behaviour. Socializing is a major part of Puppy Schools by DogTech®. Puppies that are never taught vital social skills may grow up to become confused dogs with behaviour problems’, says Ms Coe.

‘ DogTech® is very pleased to be working with an outstanding Veterinary Clinic in the Central region to bring this vital service to puppy owners’.

Stage Your Dog’s Training For Best Results

Article by:   John Vella — DogTech® Master Trainer

Start Your Dog’s Training Early

Training your dog from an early age builds a stronger relationship with your dog. This is why everyone in the family needs to play a part in it’s training — they should all be following the same rules!

These rules cannot be human rules, but rules the dog understands through it’s natural instincts. It’s important your dog sees you as the leader of the pack — not as a litter mate they can constantly challenge & play with – in human terms:

• not coming when called
• jumping on us
• biting us

Puppy Training Helps Avoid Big Problems Later

Avoid more trouble later

In a pack, training starts at a very early age — the most critical time is between 8 –16 weeks and is known as the sensitive period –and is the time most people get a new puppy.

If your dog misses out on training at this time, or you are given the wrong advice, you may be in for 14 or more years of misery with a dog exhibiting behavioural problems like:

• Dog aggression
• Barking issues
• Human aggression
• Toilet issues

These are easily avoided simply by starting your dog’s training as early as possible.

REMEMBER:  Puppies need to be vaccinated prior to Puppy school

To start your puppy’s training it needs to be at least 8 weeks old, had it’s first vaccination, and be micro-chipped. With some very small breeds, I normally recommend to wait a few extra weeks so they aren’t too tiny — but it is best to contact us as soon as you get your new pup to reserve a place.

Behavioral Problems

Often people I see for In-home behaviour modification tell me they did not attend Puppy school because they were told that the dog to dog contact at a young age would lead to serious health issues. This is misunderstood by many people.

Dogs can interact with other dogs after their first vaccination as long as it is done in a safe environment with other healthy dogs who have also been vaccinated. They should not be taken to Parks or meet dogs that are not vaccinated

Proper Training is as Important as Food

I also sometimes hear, ‘ the dog costs so much and I don’t have enough money for the luxury of training’.

My answer to these people is that it is as important to train your dog as it is to feed it; it’d be like buying a car and not performing your maintenance; it’s short sighted & virtually guarantees expensive problems later.

More dogs die in Australia from behavioural problems because they were not trained ( leading to abandonment –often resulting in being put down), than die of starvation.

Budget for the Dog’s Training Before You Acquire the Dog

When making your puppy purchase, remember to factor in the training as you would food or it’s kennel –it’s part of the package. If you can’t afford the training, don’t buy the dog until you have enough for both.

The Minimum Professional Training Required

The minimum professional training your puppy needs is Puppy school, before they are 16 weeks old. DogTech® runs a three class course (one class per week) with each class going for about 75 minutes. The classes cover such topics as:

• toilet training
• leadership skills
• how to avoid behavioural problems
• basic commands such as, ‘sit’
• stay
• down
• come
• lead work
• socializing with dogs & humans of different size and stature

In-home visits — a good investment

Either before or after Puppy school, DogTech® recommends a home visit so we can access your dog in it’s own environment. We can also advise you on home safety issues for puppy both inside & outside in the garden. Most clients tell us it’s the best money they have ever spent.

Hoping to take your canine buddy out in public with pride?

The next stage of training is Adolescent class, when your puppy reaches 5 months and over. This is also a three week course ( about an hour and a quarter one day per week). This course covers basic training to make your dog more controllable so you will be able to take your best buddy with you in public without being embarrassed.

The way the course is structured is such that it fast tracks your learning by teaching you to hone the skills you learned in Puppy school. Some of the things we teach are:

• doggy being left outside the shop while you grab your croissant or carton of milk for brekkie
• meeting people politely in the street
• how to save time with your training schedule by training your pooch on your daily walks

Some of the commands we cover are:

• sit
• stay
• lay
• heel by your side
• doggy to focus on YOU in public
• food etiquette

The secret to enjoying a long, healthy, and happy relationship with your dog

Training your dog at an early age is a most critical part of their growth and development. It will ensure that you and your dog will enjoy a long, healthy, and happy relationship together.

I now have a new pup ‘Harley’ — I have applied this training with him and we are enjoying great results.

Remember– avoiding doggy problems is much easier than trying to cure them.

Rid Your Puppy of Waggish Manners

Article by: Alyce Valentine

Extract from: Redcliffe and Bayside Herald – June 30, 2010

PREVENTING playful puppies from turning into unmanageable dogs can be achieved with the help of puppy school programs, which teach old-fashioned good manners.

DogTech® will be offering these classes at Scarborough from mid-August,  to help put puppies on the right track.

Master Franchisee for Queensland Justin Jordan said the main focus of the courses was socialization of puppies towards people and other dogs and to ensure they became a ‘happy, stable member of the family’.

He said puppies learnt the most from eight weeks to 18 weeks of age.

‘Puppies are in a crucial imprinting stage at that age,’ he said.

DogTech® puppy schools use motivational methods to cover basic obedience and behavioural issues, as well as introducing puppies to babies and children.

Mr. Jordan said some of the most important lessons to teach a pup included not running through doors/gates or jumping up on people, basic good manners, toilet training and being social with guests and unfamiliar pets.

For more information about the ongoing DogTech® courses which will be starting at Scarborough, or about having Mr. Jordan come to your home,

Dog Rescue – Dogtech®/Whisper Wise® Dog Training Methods Make A Difference for Rescued Dogs

Article by: Anita Strong – Dogtech® Hills District Behaviorist/ Training Instructor

The Key to a rescued dogs new home

In my experience, training is the key to finding a new home for shelter dogs! I have been training dogs at The Blacktown Animal Shelter who, for whatever reason, have been surrendered by their owners, or have been found wandering the streets. Many of them are healthy and friendly; and some are well-behaved or have the potential to be so — given some training.

Training Makes the Difference for Rescued Dogs

Training stimulates the dog’s mind and helps to calm them. This is especially beneficial for shelter dogs, who feel abandoned, confused, and after some time cooped up in the kennels, may start to develop stress related symptoms.

Even some basic obedience training will help to improve the dog’s chance of being adopted. Is the dog who’s sitting calmly, wagging his tail more likely to get picked — or the one who’s barking and bouncing off the kennel gate?

Shelter Staff Also Benefit

While I am training the dogs, I also invest time in building rapport with the often overworked Shelter Staff and share our gentle, positive motivation, Whisper Wise® training methods with them. They have told me they enjoy the training and that it gives them a better understanding of the dogs being trained. They say this allows them to present the dogs to potential adopters in a more positive manner. The Kennel Assistants get a morale boost when the dogs ‘sit’ on command as they go about their rather mundane Kennel chores.

Personally Rewarding

For me, helping the dogs and staff at The Blacktown Animal Shelter is a labor of love — I get immense pleasure and satisfaction from the results of the training sessions–to see that the most boisterous dog can be calmed with a few simple exercises; to watch their enjoyment of open space when they’re let out of the kennels; to hear that the dogs I trained last time have found new homes — That’s what it is all about!
