Outback Dog Training

If you get a dog, you need to train them. Otherwise, you will end up with a dog you don't enjoy, who has no idea how to behave. Koji was 6 months old when he came to us, and totally untrained. He didn't know his own name, was super skittish and badly behaved. Intense training has seen him become an amazing dog.

I couldn't imagine my kids growing up without a dog, but I was always super aware of bite prevention. My kids were brought up (as I was) to never, ever get in a dog's face....

Difficulty Level - Medium  Learning Curve - 3-8 days  Variations - Three Introduction Imagine how amusing it would be to ask “Who ate the last piece of pie?” Only for everyone to turn around and see your dog acting ashamed. Well now you can, we show you how to teach your dog three variations of ‘Act Ashamed.’ Prerequisites To teach your dog tricks, you need to have completed and bulletproofed basic obedience, manners and expected behaviours such as ' Sit ', ' Down ', ' Sit-Stay ', Down-Stay ’, ' Leave It ', ' Focus ' and Calm training. A fun, entertaining behaviour can be just as beneficial to your dog's health and happiness as these basics; everything your dog learns builds on previous training. This makes it easier for your dog to learn more advanced skills later. While it is easiest and best to start training your dog when they are young, there is no age at which a dog cannot be taught new things. What You Need To b...

I hate seeing those same old posts saying 'You can't train a Husky' or 'You need an E-collar to get a Husky to listen'. These posts, these individuals are one of the reasons why so many of these dogs end up in shelters, why so many end up dead. The fault is not in the breed but at the other end of the lead. One Husky trained with a collar, without even a harsh word. https://youtu.be/vzp1YT7V--M This is what a 'Leave It' command should be like, no matter the breed...

Tenshi, the ‘middle child’ of the Outback family, is a kelpie/dingo cross from a working background; his family are Victorian and are in cattle. Like Akuma, he adores swimming. However, he prefers salt water to fresh, and is very much 'Dad’s boy’. His dingo nature means he can be a challenge to train, but once he takes to something, it is locked in forever (he can be a little OCD). We call him 'The General' because he likes to direct how the other two play their war games, and isn't afraid to step in and firmly direct the action when he deems it necessary. Tenshi has an incredibly high prey drive, but also has exceptional impulse control (check out the Impulse Walking Unleashed video to see him in action). His favourite game is 'Fetch’, particularly with his Kong and he doesn’t mind a game with the flirt pole; in fact, we usually tire before he does.
