Need A Good Behaviouralist/trainer Please


Recommended Posts

Someone I know is having quite a few probs with their rescue dog. They are first time dog owners and much of it is down to their inexperience which they understand.

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a behaviouralist that does home visits.

I recently heard about an excellent one on the central coast but I don't know if they can/will drive that far.

Anyone know of someone?

Thanks :rofl:

DogLogic are Delta trained, so it depends on what type of methods they would like to use :mad

I am in the area, but not sure what behaviourists are around here.

They are but I believe they use all manner of training methods :cry:

I am pretty sure they don't use all manner of training methods, having talked to them several times :cry:

Being Delta, they use Delta methods (pretty sure they have to?). Not saying they are bad, just what approach they will take. Up to the individual what they want to use. They are not knowledgeable on using drive.

Nathan is great :mad

Nathan is not all about 'strong' methods. He was helpful with Diesel and Diesel is not a 'strong' or driven dog.

Good to know what the problem is and how they would prefer to deal with it. Delta is fine for some stuff but not so helpful with others. Depends on the dog and owner.

Some of the problems are fear of men and boys, over-attachment to the lady of the house and demonstrated protective behaviour when anyone else comes near.

He is also very fearful of being on the lead and will only walk if mum is there.

The whole idea of this dog was to be the teenage boy's companion (he is a really nice kid) but this is not working at all and yet the dog showed none of this behaviour when he first met the family.

I have given them some links to websites that help with these type of problems but they haven't looked at them. I really think it calls for a visit.

If they selected Nathan then, as a male, he'd certainly get a demonstration of some of the behaviour.

Nathan is great with the dogs and certainly will be able to help.

My girl didn't like man at some stage, he was a great help with my training. She not only loves him now but she isnt afraid of man and will let strangers examine her and pet her.

Kavik and others,

Could you give m some examples of what you mean by the above? I am curious as I am getting into training this year and the more info, knowledge etc on methods the better.

Thanks
