My partner and I recently adopted a Belgian Malinois X who had picked up some pretty naughty habits from his 'holiday' at the Lost Dogs Home. We actually had no idea where to start to get him out of those habits and turn into a well-behaved member of the canine society. I searched high and low for dog schools that I felt comfortable taking Tex to, and luckily stumbled across Four Paws K9 Training.
After attending the Welcome Session at Keilor View Primary School, I instantly felt comfortable with the idea of handing over my money and learning from the professionals. I went into my first session thinking that Tex was going to be considered a 'highly reactive dog' but my concerns were put to rest when they showed me the ropes of how to handle such a stubborn and dominant dog.
Don't get me wrong, I've had dogs my whole life, but rescue dogs are a whole different thing compared to a dog that you've had from a puppy.
With the help of the wonderful owners, trainers and student trainers at Four Paws, Tex is now a *mostly* well-behaved dog who finds the fun in training and working with the both of us, provided he gets a tasty treat and a cuddle at the end of it all.
Without the help of Four Paws, I'm about 99% sure that my house would be shredded and the dog would own the bed while we slept on the floor... thanks Four Paws :) :) :) read more
