Erik The Wonder Dog

Had been planning to follow Best Mate Dog Trainings five day plan to get Ned used to not pulling whilst on the lead. The training started yesterday - first thing they said was: "Buy one of our Halti style harnesses to lead your dog. If your dog doesn't have a big nose we recommend the Martingale collar."

Ned doesn't work like that. The minute he gets a sniff of any attempt to train him he shuts down like a wedding day camera with cheap batteries.

Any equipment - no matter how mildly aversive it may be is still aversive.

However, I am developing a new method to overcome dog walking issues and will be selling as a training package as soon as I've worked out the finer details.

Here is the progress so far after just two days. No punishment training. No aversive techniques. It's not an instant fix but it's all about reprogramming the dog.

Erik is on some new anti inflammatory meds for his arthritis. New levels of energy and willingness to charge around. This is good stuff!

Erik the Wonder Dog and Pals

My name is Erik, I came from the RSPCA in South Australia and I live on the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula near Adelaide. I am an Australian Kelpie and share my home with my Sister Riley (Collie/Kelpie x) and young Brother Sebastian (Australian Kelpie) who is the newest edition to our family. I get along well with all the pets including Ernie and Jasmine (2 black cats) and the chooks and budgies that live in the garden.

My favourite things are walks with Dad, Agility with Dad, Cuddles with Mum, stealing Sebastians treats. Swimming in the pool or the sea or anywhere with water. I also like to bark and fart (very smelly) when I run around or get excited.

I hope you enjoy my page and the pictures and stories of me and my doggy mates. There is always something new to see.

WOOF!
