Here’s what some Dogology® clients have to say about their experience with us! PUPPY MANAGEMENT AND TRAINING SESSIONS Andrew of Redfern used our Puppy Management sessions with Bodi, his 4-month-old Silky cross. "I wanted to stop bad behaviour while he is still young. These sessions allowed us to put systems and behaviours (like separating dogs, not reinforcing bad behaviour) into place that mean that he can't misbehave." Vanessa with Oak, a 15 month old Am Staff in Bondi, needed help with leadership. "I wanted to try and have Oak understand that I am the leader, so that we can understand each other. My aims for him exceeded expectations, and we now have mutual respect for one another!" Polly & Nick of Tempe with Willow, a 12 week old Weimaraner, wanted to do the right thing with their new puppy, and achieve obedience through life. Polly writes: "I now have learnt about mutual respect, and have more knowledge and understanding of why puppies do things." Samantha of Queens Park had some concerns with Sonny, her six-month-old Labrador. "He sometimes comes when called, but not always, he is very friendly but gets very excited and has lot’s of energy. He just does not obey. He won’t listen to me. I was not able to put Sonny into puppy school when he was younger. I felt he needed basic training, as his behaviour was often inappropriate. The sessions have worked well for Sonny and I. Janene is unlike any animal person I have met. She is like a Dog Whisperer. Thank you!"   BEHAVIOURAL MODIFICATION TRAINING Linda & Merv in Bellevue Hill were having problems with Benny, their seven month old Cavoodle. He was resource guarding his raw meaty bones, and growling and biting when approached to take the bone away. With management guidelines put into practice, and teaching the dog that relinquishing items was to his advantage, the problem was over come in three sessions! Phebe of Kingsford was having difficulty with Buddy, her two and a half-year-old Labrador cross Doberman. "He always pulled on lead, displayed lack of attention to me when other dogs were around, and jumped up on everyone when greeting them. These sessions assisted Buddy in being more settled, walking much better on the lead and much more attentive to me. He now sits nicely when greeting people." Anna in Randwick needed some help with family pet Bobo, her 8 month old Labrador cross Kelpie. "Bobo jumps up on people and at the back door, he pulls on the lead, does not always obey commands and play bites us. We needed to learn how to handle our new dog and feel confident and relaxed with him. During the course of sessions, he stopped jumping up and biting, he responds to our commands, and we now feel more confident with Bobo." Stewart and Lucy in Randwick had a biting problem with Gracie, a one-year-old Labrador. "She tries to bite us when we pat her. We are very pleased with the sessions and with Gracie’s progress. The one on one contact and individual attention and education has empowered us."
