Looking for a local Sydney Dog Trainer? Or need help with your dog's behaviour? Book our one to one at home dog training and get you and your best mate back on track.
You've tried everything with your dog. The endless treats, brain games and a range of random youtube videos with trainers saying they have some magic bullet but Nothing sticks. You're not doing it wrong, you are just trying to fix the wrong thing. Your dog isn't broken.
Whether you’ve got a barking dog or a dog who pulls on the leash or a dog who jumps up or is becoming a little bit aggressive, the chances are they are getting far too excited, reactive and far too emotional at that point in time. The real trick I found is to get those dogs to turn to you, to listen to you when it really matters. Because if you get that bit in place and they’re not all scattered-brain and over excited and over emotional you’re halfway there. If they’re calm and they turn and look to you, then you have the opportunity to show them how you want them to behave.
So in a nutshell, before you start to “train the dog” you need to know how to “win their mind” The problem is that most trainers jump straight into commands and training your dog when they are overstimulated. The problem isn’t that you dog doesn’t know what to do, it’s that they are choosing not to listen.
Think of it like having a terrible fear of flying and being dragged towards of plane. Someone telling you how safe planes are isn’t going to make you calm down
At The Toe Beans Co, we don't start by training your dog. We start by understanding the why — through the dog's eyes. Once your dog actually chooses to come alongside you, everything else becomes easy.
We come to your home in Sydney. We spend two and a half hours with you and your dog — in your space, with your specific issues. No generic advice. We look at the cause, we show you exactly how to change it, and you leave with a plan you can start that same day.
This is completely force-free. No shouting, no punishment, no pain. We work with your dog's natural instincts — not against them.
