I soon learned that dog obedience training is about teaching the human and that it was easy for the dog! I was recommended HBODC by a friend and my local pet store. On occasion he was becoming aggressive around other dogs. Initially, I got private lessons but soon realised that he needed to be amongst other dogs for socialisation. “I started dog obedience training 4 ½ half years ago when I got my border collie, Zach. He also has a Certificate IV in Companion Animal Services from the Delta Institute. Glenn is a member of the Association of Pet and Dog Trainers Australia Inc. My 30 years being involved in education and training together with my training experience on the farm has help guide me in developing challenging training exercises for our club’s Bronze Class.” In 2008 I was invited to become a trainer at our club and gladly accepted. Jake’s final claim to dog fame was succeeding in achieving ‘Diamond Dog Excellence’…only the second dog to achieve the highest level we offer at our club.īoth Pip and Jake have passed to dog heaven and we now have two new border collies Coco and Ollie.
ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE DOG TRAINING TRIAL
Over the next 4 years Jake excelled at each level of training winning ‘best’ dog trophies at every trial he was entered for. Both had never been on lead, had the run of a sizeable farm without the need to understand the dangers of roads nor were accustomed to playing and getting along with other dogs. After spending ten years on the farm our return to the city required some retraining for the dogs. I had trained the two dogs as working dogs on our farm where we bred lambs and calves for the market. In Glenn’s own words: “I joined the club in 2003 with my daughter Emily and two Border Collies, Pip and Jake.
