About
With Alert Dog Training and would highly recommend them to anyone.
Alert Dog Training, located in Perth, is a reputable sports club that has been training dogs since 1991. The club aims to educate dog owners on how to understand their dogs and effectively communicate with them. They believe that humans and dogs think and act differently, and their unique approach focuses on bridging this communication gap.
The trainers at Alert Dog Training have years of experience and have developed a holistic and diverse training programme that delivers consistent and efficient outcomes. They have simplified the overall training approach so that people of all abilities and ages can understand and master the concepts being taught.
Understanding a dog's requirements is crucial to maintaining a harmonious relationship. If owners fail to comprehend their dog's needs, it can result in confusion and anxiety for the dog. This often leads to the development of bad habits and behavioural issues such as aggression, dominance, destructiveness, or fearfulness. At Alert Dog Training, they emphasise the importance of understanding a dog's place within its environment and providing the correct physical and mental stimulation.
The Phase 1 training programme consists of seven private sessions that are tailored to meet the needs and expectations of each individual dog and owner. These sessions not only focus on obedience but also take into consideration the dog's history, environment, bad habits, and the owner's expectations.
The 7-session programme also includes behavioural modification, where trainers identify the underlying reasons behind unwanted behaviours. They develop an ongoing strategy to achieve long-term positive outcomes and help owners understand why these behaviours developed in the first place. This approach empowers owners to effectively extinguish these behaviours and improve their dog's overall well-being.
For puppies between the ages of 12–16 weeks, Alert Dog Training offers a comprehensive training programme to ensure they get off to a great start. This programme helps owners prepare for their new furry family member, understand how puppies perceive the world, and address common puppy issues such as toilet training, nipping, and jumping.
Upon completion of the Phase 1 private sessions, clients have the opportunity to participate in Phase 2 group sessions. These sessions provide a safe and controlled environment for practising obedience and behavioural management strategies. Additionally, packwalks, obedience exercises, and socialisation activities are incorporated into the group sessions.
Reviews from satisfied clients attest to the effectiveness and value of Alert Dog Training's programmes. Many have reported significant improvement in their dogs' behaviour and commended the trainers for their expertise and professionalism.
Whether you have a high-energy dog or a boisterous puppy, Alert Dog Training is equipped to help you develop a strong bond with your furry companion and establish yourself as a confident and consistent leader. Contact them today to start your journey toward a well-behaved and happy dog.
