🐾 IMDT & APDT Australia member Hi I'm Annette and I'm the trainer here at ALT-K9 Training. I've worked in the animal care industry for over 15 years, mainly as a veterinary nurse, but also training dogs and running puppy classes. I know it's cliche but I always wanted to work with animals, especially dogs, and my love for training started with my own dog during my teenage years. I wanted to teach him many tricks and he was a fast learner, so I spent a lot of time with him teaching him obedience exercises and creating little obstacle courses for him to go over. The passion never subsided, and now two of my current dogs are competing in dog sports. I spend most of my free time playing with & training them. I'm an Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) trainer & member and hold a Cert IV in Animal Behaviour & Training. Classes are currently being held in Donnybrook WA.
** Puppy Preschool
** Senior Puppy
** Manners & More (coming soon)
** Sporting Fundamentals (coming soon)

I also offer private 1:1 lessons and house consultations for those puppies or dogs that find class environments a little overwhelming. I'm happy to travel out of the Donnybrook district for these. I'm looking forward to helping you and your doggy companion!

2 lessons in and these folks are doing really well with their pups.
Putting the things they've learnt so far together and starting to challenge the dogs a bit more.

Plenty of things still to learn in this course but by the looks of what's been happening so far, these pups and their owners are going to do great!

While the other puppies spent some time exploring the equipment in class this week, young Tilly enjoyed some rest time after her learning exercises and enjoying a licky mat.

Sleeping is so very important for puppies and it was great that Tilly's owners understood & recognised this and let her sleep, instead of pushing her through the tiredness and getting her to socialise.

The tunnel usually ends up being the puppies favourite thing by the end of the course.
At first they can be a little unsure but with gentle guidance and allowing them to explore it in their own and at their own time, they usually take to it well.

Wanting to level up your dog's obedience?
Or learn about dog sports like RallyO or take your dog to a local cafe?

In the Manners & More Level 2 classes, we'll look at competition style heeling, stays, place training, obedience around distractions, along with an intro to RallyO and a lesson in town at a cafe where you'll get to practice what you've learnt for real!
