What Dog Training sessions do you offer?
We offer private dog training sessions both online and in person. We can help address any behavioural problem and or help you teach any behaviour.
I have an old dog that has never done any dog training before, is that okay?
Absolutely, it’s a complete myth that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. If you would feel more comfortable, you could start with private training.
What do I need to organise before my consult?
We will ask you to complete a detailed questionnaire 24 hours prior to the session so that we can prepare and get to know your dog. We also strongly recommend you take some videos of “a day in the life of your dog” for any behavioural issues.
Can you teach my child how to behave with my dog?
Yes! But keep in mind you may be the best person to teach your child.
What is a behavioural consultation
A behavioural consultation is an assessment and treatment plan to address complex and problematic behaviours. This is not like typical dog training; we will ensure we take the time to understand the underlying emotional state before diving in as we want to make sure our treatment will be effective.
If I use treats to train my dog, will he always expect a reward?
If you get paid for going to work, will you continue to turn up for work? If you use treats to train your dog you will get a dog that is motivated to work for you and finds you the most rewarding thing in their world.
Can we make a request for a topic on your dog training blog?
We would love that! Please email your ideas to info@furgetmenot.com.au
I just adopted a rescue dog and have no idea what I am doing, can you help?
We love helping people to settle in their new rescue dog. It was having our own rescue dogs that inspired us to help others. Rescue dogs need a unique and gentle approach to help them adjust to their new life. We recommend starting with private training so that we can give you individual advice.
What is different about your canine training school?
Canine training schools are unregulated, so we are one of the very few that are certified and qualified. We are committed to only using methods that are scientifically proven and effective and will never use any methods that will cause pain or discomfort.
Are all your sessions and consults online?
We offer only online sessions currently. Online sessions are great for those who are on a budget, live in a remote area or have a dog that is not great with visitors. We also get to work with your dog in a much more natural way (your dog is not excited and distracted by the visitor).
How much does a Dog Trainer cost?
Prices vary across dog training services and so does quality of service. We only offer the highest quality of service to your dog but are committed to keeping our prices reasonable and affordable. Our private training starts at $70.
What kinds of dogs are suitable for online training?
Any dog is suited to online training. We can effectively train any age, ability, breed or problem. We can often demonstrate with our own dogs or send you video demonstrations or review videos you send us.
What payment options do you offer?
We accept credit and debit card payments and all services must be paid in advance.
What is your cancellation policy?
All classes and private training cannot be cancelled. We can offer a reschedule if you give us a minimum of 72hrs notice. Otherwise you may forfeit the session.
Do you have terms of service?
We are one of the very few dog training schools that offer certified and qualified behavioural training. Which means you have probably never experienced training like ours before. We have clearly laid out our terms of services so that you are clear as to what to expect and you can read them here (see button above).
What is your privacy policy?
You can read our privacy policy here.
How can you effectively train my dog online?
Very effectively! But don’t just take our word for it, check out our google reviews . Afterall, we are training you and not your dog. We don’t believe in training your dog for you, as we are not the ones living with your dogs. If you want them to give you reliable behaviour, we need to train you how to train and communicate effectively with your dog.
