Everything About Dog Training
With Neri’s philosophy of prevention, you should never allow your puppy to get to the point of being a victim of bad behaviour. However, if your puppy went out of hand resulting in a badly behaved dog, then don’t worry because there is always a way out.
What is of great concern to most dog owners is the cost of training. Despite, the cost of training being vital, it is important to also consider the cost that comes with avoiding training your dog or the high cost that you could suffer in incorrect training.
Most people nowadays are in the habit of overspending in their self-development not considering the importance of also developing their companion who makes up the family for up to 15 years. Training your dog well is quite vital in bringing out the best out of your dog, which would otherwise be a liability if it suffers from behavioural issues.
The best way to training your puppy to become a well-behaved adult is undertaking the training right in your home environment. Other people may see this as being costly which is not necessarily true because, in the end, it will save you from unnecessary expenses. Among the advantages of professional training at home is that you get to know very fast what is suitable to both of you at the place where the issues originated.

Groups and Clubs Lessons
Undertaking groups and club lessons could be quite enjoyable and very productive to dog owners. However, this kind of training could be confusing and challenging to the owner and her dog. It is quite hard to include children in the training exercise, which is against Neri’s view that children are very important and should also be taught how to handle the dog. It is common to get conflicting ideas from the different trainers every week.
In general, you and your dog will receive limited individual attention. The fact that most problems cannot be adequately attended to in group classes explains why Neri often receives several calls from dog handlers who have previously been to a group class.
Training in Camp
During these training, the importance of the owner being present cannot be underestimated. Apart from training the dog, it is correspondingly important that the owner gets to know how to properly handle the dog because mishandling the dog could result to disrespect from the dog. This form of training is only suitable if you are not in a position to handling the dog.
However, in several instances, the dog reverts to its earlier behaviour just after some weeks of training. This is why Neri does not recommend this kind of training because the lacking time to train your dog implies lack of time to own and enjoy the companionship of a dog.
Puppy Pre-Schooling
Neri does encourage this type of training for the right individuals. Puppy preschool in the dog whispering methods have been taught by Kim and Shaun Ellis over in the UK
Considering that the puppy’s young age is the most crucial and has great influence in moulding it into a well-behaved adult dog. It is hence important that at this early age, everything is done in the correct way, which is only possible through the service of a professional.
There are several puppy preschools around the Perth area, Swanbourne vets, Vic Park Vets and pawpals dog day care in Bassendean. Puppy preschool is a great way to begin the process of learning.
Book Guide and Training Videos Guides
This method of training is not quite practical and might not be very reliable. This is because of dogs exist in several different breeds and social positions which also vary in terms of characteristics and nature.
In spite of the existence of plenty of goods books about dogs, many of them are not effective because although the book could be right for a certain dog, it might not be appropriate for another dog even if they share the same age or breed type. For this reason, Neri has observed that not only the dogs of those trainers using training books end up being confused but also the trainers themselves.
The Book Neri and Lisa Recommend is ‘the wolf within’ by ‘Shaun Ellis’
How to Handle Digging Dogs
If your dog is fond of digging, then it's not because they are bored or that they are after destroying your garden beds or even your sprinkler system. They do this for a reason. For instance, there are some types of dogs like Malamutes, the Samoyeds, and the Huskies who often lie on cooling holes. While this is so, they find the shady areas of your garden to be quite suitable for digging such holes.
Dogs may dig also to bury food. Some dogs will try to cache food if they feel they will need it for a later day.
Chemical production is also a means to dig – this is more based on a survival instinct and it means your dog needs more emotional regulation.
To work this digging problem out, you need to confirm the exact location and the time your dog does the digging then look for a suitable solution. For instance, the sprinkler systems could be most likely destroyed during late night hours and normally immediately after the timer activates. The weather also plays a part since hot and humid evening is responsible for bringing out insects.
Some of these insects that stay underground such as burrowing insects produce a sound which the dog has proved to be sensitive making them react by trying to reach them through digging. In other instances, dogs dig along the fence when they hear something or another dog on the other part which they can’t access. For this reason, it is important for you to find out why your dog is digging since it is the best lead to finding a solution
Advice from Well-Meaning Individuals
From Neri’s point of view, advice from well-meaning people might not be appropriate. This is because needs vary between dogs and what is best for one dog might not fit another dog. Owners should be extra careful because there is plenty information that could be misleading and results to dictators.
DIY Dog Training
Despite the common belief that many people have natural dog training ability, only a small number of people have the ability to train a dog perfectly to become a good companion without acquiring the services of a professional. The main problem that dog whispering faces is a majority of people are unwilling to acquire the services of a professional trainer of the family dog.
Through the assistance of Neri, you are guaranteed to receive correct advice that is suitable for your dog and for measured response. The key lesson that Neri teaches you is on handling your dog in the right way to avoid making mistakes.

Know Your Dog’s Behaviour

Some of them have even signed up for other puppy schooling and alternative dog obedience training school, and sought advice from the Internet; they may have read several books too.
Despite their effort in accessing the information it has not been helpful in training their dogs. Well, if you are a victim of such, worry not because Neri is a specialist in rectifying issues encountered by dog owners such as:
● Dog pulling on the lead
