Q: What dog training methods do you use?

At K9 Trainer, we use positive reinforcement and reward-based methods to get you lasting results. Punishing a dog, shouting at a dog, or scolding a dog are all things we are strictly against, and we never use these in our dog training. Not only does punishment not teach your dog what to do and not do, but it also creates a sense of fear in your dog that will only make matters worse. In the old days (several decades ago), many dog trainers touted this idea that you had to ‘dominate your dog or your dog will dominate you’. But things have changed since then. Dogs respond best to positive reinforcement, and this also helps to foster a healthy and harmonious relationship between you and your dog. You can check out our testimonials and Google reviews to see just how well this methodology works for every kind of behavioural issue or concern.

Question 2

Do you offer private dog training sessions and group classes?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer group sessions at our popular puppy school classes in Sydney. These are perfect for training and socialising puppies, preparing them for life in the big, wide world.

Our private dog training sessions are for dogs of any age. Conducted in the privacy and comfort of your own home, this is the best option if you want personalised 1:1 training tailored to your dog’s specific needs and concerns.

We often have clients from our puppy schools book in for a private dog training session after they finish the 4-week puppy training course, as they want to reinforce all of the essential obedience training they learned in puppy school and ensure their dog learns all the right things from a young age.

Private in-home dog training is also great for addressing concerns as they arise, like if you notice your dog developing problematic habits or tendencies (anything from growling to barking, nipping and biting, digging, whimpering, chewing, jumping, chasing other dogs, resource guarding, separation anxiety and more).

Question 3

Do you provide ongoing support after the dog training session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. K9 Trainer clients enjoy lifetime support from our expert dog training team. After your dog training session, you’ll receive a personalised training program written by our Head Trainer and tailored to your dog’s individual needs and concerns. If you ever have any questions following the session, whether it’s days, weeks or years after the session, our team is just a text message or phone call away.

Question 4

Can you provide references from previous clients?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We’ve transformed thousands of dogs across the globe. You can check out some of our tail-wagging testimonials here or read our Google reviews here.
