The Important Food-Brain Relationship. Did you know that activating a dog’s sense of smell with food not only motivates a dog to learn, but is a valuable tool in changing the way the brain works? Here's advice from your dog trainer in Eastern Sydney.

If dogs are able to feel similar emotional responses to humans, does that mean that they can also feel guilty? Canine Training Sydney offers puppy schools, obedience and agility classes in Sydney and in-home training!

The debate on whether dogs experience emotions similar to that of humans or whether dogs' behaviour is simply influenced by a drive to survive has been on going for a long time now. And we do not have all the answers yet but science is helping us to understand dogs better, especially their emotional world. Here's information of canine emotions from a dog trainer in Eveleigh.

Dog Trainer Rose Bay - Dog Aggression And What To Do About It. Positive dog training methods are by far the most effective way to train dogs. And it works for severe anxiety and so called ‘red zone’ aggression cases as well. Here's what you should understand about treating canine aggression. Advice from a dog trainer in Rose Bay.

It can be very difficult for dogs to pass food without eating it. Their sense of smells is a lot better than ours for one, so the food that smells good to us must smell irresistible to dogs, right? The most realistic solution to this issue is to use a combination of management and training techniques to make it easy for your dog to avoid temptation. Here's advice from your local dog trainer in Rosebery!

First, nipping and mouthing is completely normal canine behaviour. However, it can develop into a serious problem if reinforced and allowed to continue into adulthood. An adult dog’s mouthing is a lot stronger than a puppy's, so even when it's just part of normal canine play style, it can still cause damage and pain to humans. After all, there's no such thing as puppy biting. It's just a puppy that's doing it at the time but if allowed, you'll soon have an adult dog doing the same thing... With a lot more strength!

Dogs jump on people simply because they are excited. And they learn through experience that it's an effective way of getting our attention. However, it's not good behaviour, especially if you won a big dog. Luckily, it that can be easily prevented and managed using positive dog training techniques. Here's advice from your local dog trainer in Beaconsfield.

Canine Compulsive Disorder (CCD) is very similar to human OCD. Dogs are also compelled to perform repetitive behaviours which eventually take over their lives. For example just last week I met a few dogs with obsessive behaviours such as chasing shadows and herding other dogs. 

Over excitement can become a real problem outside. After all, who wants to walk a dog who's behaviour is completely out of control. This is very common with rescue dogs that haven't been taken out much or who simply have learnt to love it a bit too much. People often tell me that their dogs are perfect at home. This is the problem: generalising behaviours in different situations. If your dog is able to be calm and well mannered at home, it should be possible outside as well, right? Here's my advice, your dog trainer in Saint Peters.

Pre-Selection To-Do List Do research about different dog breeds. Pay special attention to what to expect in terms of size, shedding, temperament and common health problems. Talk to people who have a dog that is the breed you are interested in. Ask a lot of questions! Do not get a dog whose breed’s energy level or temperament is incompatible with your lifestyle. If you're lazy, don't get an active working breed and vice versa!
