Learn How to understand your dog
Most humans mistakenly believe that they can bring a dog into their home and expect that it will integrate easily into family life. Mostly this is not the case.
Humans act and think on one level and a dog acts and thinks on another.
We utilise a unique approach educating people to communicate on a level easily understood by their dog. We have proven over a number of years, that a more holistic and diverse approach enables quicker more consistent outcomes. Simplifying the overall approach to training has meant that people of all abilities and ages can easily grasp and master the concepts we teach.
A dog wants to know and understand its place within its environment, and wants to be able to respond effectively to you as its owner. If you don’t understand your dogs requirements then it is very likely that your dog will become confused and anxious. This often leads to the dog developing bad habits and issues such as aggressive, dominant, destructive or fearful behaviour. It therefore follows that your dog becomes a reflection of your approach to dog ownership.
A dog is a living breathing, thinking animal, with feelings and needs which you as an owner should ensure you understand. Training your dog will point its energy in the right direction by providing the correct physical and mental stimulation. You will build a bond very quickly as your dog will see you as a strong, confident and consistent leader, and therefore be able to respond quickly and accurately to you. An intelligent dog rarely wants to please an owner they don’t respect.

PRIVATE Training SESSIONS
Our Phase 1 training program involves a structured series of 7 sessions that achieve fast, consistant results in and around your home. These sessions take into consideration not only obedience but also history, environment & bad habits, as well as your expectations as an owner.
As all dogs and owners are unique we work with you to ensure the sessions are tailored to your needs and and lifestyle.
Behavioural training and modification is included in the 7 session program & involves identifying the reason behind the unwanted behaviour.
We develop an ongoing strategy for long term positive outcomes. This provides you with an understanding of why these behaviours developed in the first place, your dogs perception of it’s environment and how to effectively extinguish these behaviours.
We commence the training program from 12-16wks of age which helps to get you and your puppy off to a great start. We explaining how to prepare for your new arrival, what they will need from you, how they perceive our world and what you can do to make the transtion of a new member to your family easier.
Puppy issues such as toilet training, nipping, jumping etc will also be addressed.

"I highly recommend Alert Dog Training ! We just finished our training lessons with our 16 month old German Shepherd, Rex. It’s amazing to see the progress my dog has made through these lessons."
Tsz Ching Wong"I would recommend this training to absolutely anyone! Especially people with high energy dogs like Staffys! In our opinion well worth the money! Thanks again."
Craig Chapman"The training that you receive from Alert is amazing. I have a boisterous staffy and did not like taking him out but now he is a different dog. Now it's a pleasure to take him out and have great control of him. We have just finished our lessons and look forward to group training."
