K-9 Institute of Australia
The Curricculum
Having trained all breeds, with leading experts, (biologist, psychologists, and behaviorists), from around the world, our backlog of experience and expertise is unmatched and priceless. We are considered experts in numerous breeds and understand their behaviors. We have succeeded where others have failed. The goal in our obedience training is not to teach individual commands. It is not enough to teach a dog how to behave. Instead we teach a system of integrated behaviors that each dog will receive, learn, accept, normalize personalize and habitualize. In doing so, the dogs thought process and subsequent behavior will be modified and literally transformed. The dog will become an obedient dog and therefore naturally do what an obedient dog does.
The training must be conducted naturally, as the dog can perceive, ingest, and accept it with the least amount of stress and conflict. Motivation is a major factor in training and your dog will be motivated from within to perform and therefore the training will successful. We bring our dogs into our home, let our children walk, handle, and play with them, and allow them to relax in with us. This makes us unique. The dogs are trained and handled by men, women, children, strangers, and taught to work around other dogs.
The exercises heel, sit, stay, come, and down are just tools we use to develop good behaviour. At the Institute, besides transforming your dogs behavior, our normal curriculum includes teaching your dog to:
Stop and relax on command
Stop (physically, mentally, and emotionally)
Listen and Follow instructions
Obey voluntarily, obediently, & whole heartedly
Listen to normal spoken commands, without using demands or threatening vocalcompulsions
Learn to enjoy performing
Learn to enjoy being a good dog
Heel correctly, and stay in position until released.
