RealityBites Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Ok I have been to see K9 Force several times and he is brilliant with dogs. However he lives in the wrong state! I am looking for a good dog trainer to help me with a 14 month old entire doberman. I do not want to go to classes just yet, until I get a handle on his energy as it would be pointless at the moment. He'd be like "Oh look! Other dogs! My favourite thing!" Oh look! Other people! My favourite thing!" Oh look toys! My favourite thing!" 'Oh boy! A car ride! My favourite thing!" We would learn nothing and I would just get frustrated with him! We have a prong collar and an e collar and are not afraid of using either I just want to learn how to teach him properly in the comfort of my own home, before (If ever) venturing out to join the general populace! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. He is great with kids, people, other dogs, cats etc etc etc, unfortunately also great with shoe thieving, destroying anything not tied down, biting, barking and general mayhem and destruction Help!

RealityBites Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Should also mention we joined a schutzhund club, but learnt absolutely nothing in the whole time we went there, except that they like having other people watch their already perfectly trained dogs!Grrrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityBites Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 Oh yeah! Forgot about Erny! Hey Erny!

Lablover Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 RealityBites, Just wondering, is your wish to go onto competitive obedience trialling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Jones Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Sorry, I just wanted to get on your good side before Erny started spreading her lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityBites Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 RealityBites,Just wondering, is your wish to go onto competitive obedience trialling? That would be my dream but not neccesarily my goal. I did want to compete in schutzhund as I think it would be alot of fun, and I KNOW he would love it! *biting stuff! My favourite thing!* But I would be happy with him heeling, NOT leaping all over everyone, not stealing shoes, and being able to tell sit from drop!

J... Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 RealityBites,Just wondering, is your wish to go onto competitive obedience trialling? Sorry to butt in... if by chance you were going to recommend someone in Vic LL, I'd love to know who they were cos I reckon I could do with a lesson or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyntervale Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I actually wouldn't mind some recommendations in the Western suburbs of Melb either I go to obedience with my dear boy, but 1:1 might help us both cotton on a bit quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmolo Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 In the Western Suburbs, contact Kelpie i who is on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealityBites Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Well I had my first lesson with Erny today and it was great! LOADS to work on (Mind you I kinda knew that! :D ) But she was brilliant at explaining and has given us lots of homework to practice. So here's to hoping my canine companion becomes alot more fun to live with shortly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I'm glad you brought this thread back up because I was going to post to say that your young Dobe isn't as 'impossible' as I was first given to believe . He's a lovely, very responsive dog. I think you've done a very good job with him in what he currently knows . All I am doing is tweaking here and there, to help him understand a little more clearly on what you want from him, as well as extending on his current skills to give you more, and working for reliability. It was an enjoyable lesson and the hour flew by very quickly. You worked hard ......... I like that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
