Private Dog Training

Can Online Virtual Dog Training Help Your Dog?

When people think of aggression prevention dog training, they picture taking their dog to a training center. But, today, with a greater number of businesses and services going online, it’s inevitable for the dog training and behaviour industry to quickly become one among them. Virtual aggression prevention dog training is considered to be as effective as in-person training. It provides the same guidance and instruction that are helpful in rebuilding your relationship with your dog and providing quick results at home.  The dog training lessons are self-paced and all the instruction is given while in the comfort of your home.

What Can You Expect from Virtual Dog Training?

Virtual dog training sessions are often provided through live video chat platforms, such as Zoom, Skype, and more. All you need to get started with the class is a laptop or a smartphone with a web camera. After joining the class, the dog behaviourist will teach you specific techniques and skills that develop a strong bond between you and your dog based on trust and positive interactions. They will guide you through a variety of exercises, give you feedback, and provide specialized coaching on common behaviour issues.

How to Get Ready for a Virtual Dog Training?

If your dog is used to taking lessons at a dog training center, taking virtual dog training classes is totally a new and different experience for your dog. So, here we’ve compiled a few tips to get prepared for virtual dog training sessions.

  • Decide a place wherein you are planning to take the class and get your dog used to it by hosting playtime sessions there. You can make the space more enjoyable by bringing in his favourite toys and more.
  • During the lecture, have your dog(s) resting comfortably in an area nearby until the start of hands-on training.
  • Set up a room or location where there’s minimal distraction.  It will make it easier to focus and understand the training being introduced.
  • Provide a stable location for your camera (tripod, stand, etc.) and set up a correct height for the trainer to watch you train your dog.
  • Keep everything ready, such as training mats, toys, leash, and more, on the day of the class.

After the end of each virtual aggression prevention dog training session, share your experience with the dog behaviourist.
