Ruin Maniac Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hi everyone. Before bringing Suleiman home I investigated a number of training methods. My puppy school is recommending a method I'm not sure Sully is coping well with (he doesn't respond well to correction but I'm not entirely sure I'm doing positive reinforcement right - and I struggle to get my housemates to comply with it, one even said it's not possible for it to work :p). I'd love to have some guidance from a professional trainer in person who can evaluate Sully's personality and responses so as to devise a method that won't have a negative impact on him or our friendship. I want to do what's best for him as an individual and I'm not sure a blanket application of one method (at least without formal training on my part) will work for him.

The Spotted Devil Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) What area of Melbourne RM? Forgot to ask - how old is the dog? Breed? Effective timing (whatever your method) can take practice - some owners need more than others!

Ruin Maniac Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Northern suburbs, but I am willing to travel if training can be done on weekends. Within 2 hours would be great :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
