No matter what the issue or behaviour problem contact us today and make the commitment to improving the quality of life your ‘Best Friends’ and yours, as well.

DOG BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS & TRAINING

A well mannered, socialised and confident dog is a family member most owners hope to enjoy. Like us, dogs need boundaries and need to feel part of a pack. They are social animals and by giving them a solid foundation beginning in the puppy stages we are providing them with the tools they need for adulthood. Our dog trainers ensure your furry friend is ready to socialise with other canines and humans. Our training sessions manage existing issues in your dog’s behaviour.

DOG PERSONAL TRAINING & BEHAVIOURIST

We are dedicated to helping you with all your dog training needs and to help your dog overcome any etiquette issues. Whether it be jumping, dog reactivity & excitement, barking, not coming when called etc. no dog is ever too young or too old to learn obedience and become a well mannered member of the family. Obedience training helps you, the dog owner, develop confident dog handling skills, establish your role as the leader and to create a strong and loving bond with your dog.

We offer personalised in-home/outdoor training in all areas within Perth, WA. No matter what the issue is, contact us today to set up a pre-training evaluation interview. From there you can make the commitment to improving how your pet lives and interacts.

With time, patience, consistency, love and leadership you, your loved ones and your dog will have a happier, loving and more peaceful time. Give us a call today and transform the relationship you share with your pet through professional dog training.

HOW DOES TRAINING HELPS IN DOG ANXIETY

In some cases your dog may be showing patterns that are not from boredom or lack of obedience. Dogs who exhibit the following behavioural issues may be anxious due to separation:

Separation Anxiety is a dog’s inability to cope or function when left alone. This is very different to boredom as your dog is under severe stress experiencing a range of physiological reactions such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, a surge in adrenaline and cortisol hormones and panting.

Punishing your dog is not the answer. They need your help. Give them the support and care they deserve with anxiety training. Our professional dog trainers can handle any issue your dog has and work with you to find a solution to the problem you are facing.

HOW DOES TRAINING HELPS IN DOG AGGRESSION

Does your dog bark, growl and lunge at other dogs or people? Does your dog resource guard, i.e. growl or even go to bite if you try to take food, a toy or does he think he needs to protect you? In most cases aggressive nature and reactivity are normally fear based or created through lack of leadership and structure.

When your dog suffers from reactivity, your dog and your loved ones can find it very challenging and sometimes overwhelming. These problems are generally overcome with a counter conditioning and desensitisation program. Counter conditioning is a treatment process that changes an animal’s fearful, anxious or aggressive reaction to a pleasant, relaxed one and desensitisation is the process of exposing your dog to a stimulus beginning at a very low intensity.

Here, at Holistic Paws=Waggy Tails, we may also recommend animal Kinesiology when helping with fear and aggression. By accessing the brain pathways of the amygdala (your dog’s survival emotions and fight/flight centre) we can help your dog on an emotional/mental level as well. Combined with the appropriate training it often gives results much faster.

Our expert trainers know how to work with your dog’s needs & temperament. With dedication and commitment most dogs can show great improvement and lead much happier lives!

HOW PUPPY TRAINING IN PERTH HELPS

Training a puppy should start as early as 6-8 weeks after birth. Ideally, your pup should have had the first deworming and first set of vaccines. It is important to start early to make sure your furry friend grows into a well-behaved adult dog.

Aside from behavioural benefits, puppy classes also enable little pups to be more confident and friendly. Since they meet other pups and learn to play appropriately and share it sets the foundation for future dog interactions. See our dog obedience/puppy training classes page for puppy pre-school class dates and how to enrol.
