NOW OFFERING DOG WALKING
Hi, I'm Max. I am a passionate animal lover and dog owner. I hold a Certificate in Dog Behaviour, Psychology and Training and a Certificate II in Animal Studies. I have 9 years of pet sitting and dog walking experience and 3 years of dog training experience. I also have many hours of volunteer experience at dog daycares and shelters. I am educated and experienced in all aspects of pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals. I am the proud guardian of a rescue Staffy called Minty. I have a police check, WWCC, and NDIS worker check.
I am offering my services as a dog walker, pet sitter, and dog trainer. I am based in Coburg and work within a 5km radius.
-- TRAINING PHILOSOPHY --
My dog training is based on foundations of positive reinforcement, clear communication, and dog-human cooperation. My goal as a trainer is to help owners and their dogs work together to live more happily and with less conflict. I follow the LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) philosophy in my training. This means that I want the dog to feel calm and relaxed during training, and I always use the least intrusive training method before moving up to the next step. I use proven methods like operant conditioning, classical conditioning, reinforcing alternative behaviours, desensitisation, and counter-conditioning. I do not use tools with a high potential for harm (e.g. choke collars). I specialise in behaviour modification for puppy, adolescent, and adult dogs. Example problem behaviours that I can help with include jumping on people, pulling the leash, barking, and chewing or digging. I can help you to train all the basic commands like sit, drop, fetch, leave it, and come.
