Dog Trainers in Canberra

Unfortunately, the dog training industry is unregulated; despite science showing that positive, force-free methods are the most successful and least emotionally damaging, there are still many questionable training methods commonly being practised on dogs. 


Asserting dominance, using rice shakers, using check/choke chains, prong collars, citronella, vibration or shock collars or anything aversive is never recommended by modern, fully qualified dog trainers. There are still a number of trainers locally that recommend these methods without understanding the consequences. Punishment has been shown to increase the likelihood of aggression and leads to a heightened state of arousal that is detrimental to learning. The Pet Professional Guild position statement details more about this here.
