With our years of experience and love for all things dogs, the team here at Jordan Dog Training are always striving to help train as many puppies and four legged furry friends as we can. We are thrilled to announce that Jordan Dog Training now has a trainer with various class locations on the Sunshine Coast!

With almost 30 years’ experience within the animal industry, our newest full time Dog Trainer, Terri Dossetto, brings her wealth of knowledge and love for dogs to the Sunshine Coast. Terri has owned and managed pet stores throughout her career which not only fuelled her love for pets, but also allowed her to gain valuable experience and training in animal obedience and behaviour.

Located on the Sunshine Coast, Terri brings Jordan Dog Training’s simple, effective positive reinforcement methods to communities across the coast. Our in-home consultations, puppy schools, trick classes and obedience courses teach dog owners the value of communicating gently and intelligently with their pets, whilst also teaching owners how to think in a canine way for a more successful and effective interaction with their furry friends.

A Tired Dog is a Happy Dog… Right?

The most common contributors to many of the behavioral problems that we see in dogs such as barking or destruction is from a lack of environmental enrichment, lack of exercise, and lack of interaction.

If you don’t give your dog enough to do to entertain them (especially puppies) they will probably go looking for something to do to entertain themselves, and the results of this may not always be in your favour.

One of the misconceptions we hear regularly when talking to clients about their dog with problems is, “it has another dog to play with” or “we have a big back yard for it to run around in” or, if it is not allowed inside, “it can see us through the window though.”

Dogs are social animals; they thrive on interaction. They also need both physical and mental stimulation to keep them happy. Without these three important things, you may find your dog digging holes, destructive chewing or worst still it may start upsetting the neighbours with excessive barking.

Bottom line, if you won’t be able to meet a dog’s basic needs, do not get a dog! And certainly do not get another dog to fix the existing dog, because more often than not this leads to double trouble.

Jordan Dog Training encourage dog owners to walk their dogs at least once a day once fully vaccinated and subject to health advice from your vet. We also recommend environmental enrichment for them for when you go to work. Foraging and problem solving to earn their dinner is a natural and satisfying behaviour for dogs. There are numerous environmental enrichment toys available from your local pet store such as Kong or Petprojekt toys.

If in doubt about getting a dog and what breed will suit you and your lifestyle, talk to us or your vet first. Pets are for life, we choose them they don’t have the luxury of choosing us, so we owe to them to give them the absolute best for the time they are with us.
