Personalised, Local, Dog Walking Service
The benefits of a daily walk for your dog are far greater than just physical exercise. Walks allow for enrichment in many forms. From the smells found along the way to new environments and experiences to enjoy. But with busy lives, sometimes it is not possible to take your dog out as often as you would like. That’s where I can help. I can walk your dog, around the local neighbourhood, at the beach or bush, alone or with other dogs. Just ask, and I can tailor things to the needs of you and your dog.
Personal, Friendly, Trustworthy Dog Walks:
Regular walks can help alleviate a number of undesirable behaviours in dogs. Not only does the physical exercise wear those little legs out, but the varied sights, sounds and smells provides so much interesting stimulation for your furry friend. If your lifestyle doesn’t allow you to get out with your dog, you might be pleasantly surprised at the return on investment when you get someone else to do it for you!
Regular dog walking can help with:
Chewing and digging around the home and backyard
Building confidence around other people and dogs
Excessive barking
Improved health for your dog (less visits to the vet)
Better sleeping at night (which means better sleeping for you too!)
Want Illawarra Dog Training? Experience the Difference With Switch On Dog Training & Behaviour
The relationship between you and your dog is as meaningful as any other family relationship. You need to work on it to see good results, and you need to maintain it to have a happy family home with your pet. I provide Illawarra dog training for your pup or adult dog, and nothing makes me happier than seeing their behaviour and your bond improving.
Give Your Dog the Best Training
I left my job as a chemical engineer to focus on my passion for training dogs and gained formal qualifications and comprehensive work experience in dog behaviour and training. I use scientifically proven methods to train your dog to behave better. You will never see me use force-based methods as I believe in positive teaching. Here’s what you can expect from me as your dog behaviourist:
As with any relationship, understanding is key to improving your dog’s behaviour and developing mutual respect and ‘communication’. I can do private in-home sessions with your dog, where I come to your house to analyse how they behave, and then we can discuss tailormade solutions that will be best for all of you.
My dog walking training service makes learning fun for your best friend while also getting exercise. Learning during play makes it easier for the animal to learn obedience and better habits.
I focus on what you want the dog to do and never scold them for doing wrong. As with humans, positive reinforcement goes a long way, and I believe in ‘teaching dogs new tricks’ with patience, commitment, time, effort, and focusing on the behaviour you want to see.
Problems You May Be Experiencing With Your Dog
As a dog walking trainer, I can assist your pet in becoming less frustrated through teaching leash manners and any other aspects that need attention. I can work on getting your dog switched on to listening and being attentive to learn new commands such as sit, heel, stay, and return when called. You will be surprised how much we can achieve during walking training.
No matter if you have a pup or an adult dog, I can help socialise them and teach them how to behave well among other animals and humans, be less anxious and afraid and more confident outside their comfort space of the family home.
I believe I can assist with most dog behavioural problems through my years of experience and understanding, attention, energy and dedication. I will travel from Illawarra to as far south as Kiama to visit you and your pooch at home to remedy your concerns.
I provide custom training based on your dog’s needs, and I can fetch and drop off your pet at times convenient to you. I will also show you how to handle your dog and understand them better.
Are You Ready to Commit?
I am ready to help breach the gap between you and your dog and commit to switching you and your pet on to understand each other better. Besides, I can walk your dog regularly if you don’t have the time to provide this exciting and enriching experience.
