Ruth's Pos-Dog Training

Ruth's Pos-Dog Training Fun. Focus. Connection. Making Dog Training Fun for All Involved. My Training Philosophy

I’m a positive-reward dog trainer.

I have owned, handled trained and competed with dogs for 17 years. I’ve been involved in ANKC (Australian National Kennel Council) and its Victorian affiliate Dogs Victoria for many years. I believe that dogs are an integral part of the family, and am keen to assist people, their dogs and families, achieve a relationship and understanding which allows the humans to enjoy the massive benefits dogs

can bring, while the dogs feel loved, safe, secure in their human pack, and enjoy a rich and fulfilling life. My Experience:
The disciplines in which I’ve successfully competed in include:
• Obedience
• Rally Obedience
• Agility & Jumping
• Dances with Dogs
• Heelwork to Music
• Tracking
• Endurance
• Conformation Showing
• Scent-Work
• NADAC Agility
I’ve gained Qualifying Scores in all of these disciplines and have Titled multiple dogs in most of them. I’m also employed by the Responsible Pet Ownership Program to visit schools and pre-schools along with my current dog Azhura, and teach children about Dog Safety, Responsible Dog Ownership, and how to respectfully approach a dog. I’m also training my 2nd dog, Flayme, to be assessed by this Program. My Training credentials:
I have been teaching Obedience and Agility classes in my local Dog Club for around 12 years now. I am a Dogs Victoria Certified Obedience Instructor, having gone through their Obedience Instructor Training, and completing both their written and practical examinations. I’ve attained a Certificate IV online in Canine Care & Training. I am undertaking the Delta Dog Training Course.

Dog Communication...

These two BC's know each other very well: they live together, play together, AND compete for attention from me together.

These two clips are taken in our (admittedly small) backyard. They'd been given fresh bones to chew a while ago, and are now relaxed & 'chilling' together.

Comment with what behaviours & communication you see: there's A LOT going on here: more than most people realise.

Two by two Weave Training.

Been working on this skill for about 2 weeks. This is the first time I asked for 6 weaves.

He still struggles on the right, and I need to improve my timing, but I'm happy with the way he's shaping.
