At The Puppy Academy, we have our students bring their lunch to school with them, and we use that meal for their training sessions. It’s also part of the foundation for our Online Training School. In both programs, you’ll often hear us recommending our pup parents keep a treat pouch on or near them at all times in the beginning weeks with their new pup at home. (Don’t worry, you can and will wean off as they get older!) Having access to your pup’s food comes in so handy for redirecting them away from something they’re doing that you don’t want them to do, getting them to come to you, having them focus on you to build that guidance-based relationship, and reward them for their good behaviors to encourage them to do that again!

‘We continue referring our clients to AUSDOG because of John’s unparalleled honesty, expertise and professionalism. He is one of the best in the business. And if the behavioural issue is unsolvable, he will tell the client without beating around the bush or wasting their money.’

Each membership plan offers original weekly videos covering training concepts like puppy manners, tricks, and building focus in your dog. She’s also currently offering a standalone course dedicated entirely to developing leash-walking skills. Larlham’s videos use a form of positive training she calls progressive reinforcement, which uses humane techniques that don’t involve the physical or psychological intimidation of your dog.
