LouBon Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) Does dog have any particular issues or is your workmate just after general training? Particular issue- he mentioned to me was that he barks continuously at strangers entering the house and is very protective of the owners. Maltese cross I think, rescue dog, about 2 yrs ...He asked what to do and all I could think was to refer him to professionals. They are willing to undertake proper training and do the hard yards. There could of course be other issues but this is the one that I am aware of. Edited for spelling Edited January 21, 2010 by LouBon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longclaw Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 ACTCDC - dachshund in Tommy's class went from barking the ENTIRE time, to letting out just a couple of excited barks during the last session. This was with the owner putting in a lot of effort at home implementing the strategies taught during classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP* Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Both Canberra Animal Hospital in Lyneham and the Animal Medical Centre in Phillip have veterinary behaviourists. They will assess the dog, and provide advice (and a report on methods to use), although they dont do all the work for you, its up to the owner to follow through.
