Linking your dog's good behaviour and 'manners' with obedience training

Linking your dog's good behaviour and 'manners' with obedience training



Come and learn the skills we can't teach you in classes


Alpha Dog Training members are invited to attend an exciting full day training seminar aimed at complimenting the techniques learned in your weekly obedience classes. This full day course is designed to give owners a chance to master the language and techniques of reinforcements and reward relevant to common daily interactions with their dogs.

This is achieved through a series of workshops and lectures that provide owners with the important hands-on experience and vital understanding of their dog's behaviour relating to the teaching of 'great manners'. Nothing beats actually seeing it and doing it in real time! By the end of the day you will be highly skilled in the techniques of Canine Good Behaviour Shaping.

What is Canine Good Behaviour Shaping?


Over the last 12 years Alpha's Training Director, Greg Fontana has been actively researching and developing dog training techniques that apply to both effective obedience and practical problem solving. Through his successful Boarding School For Dogs (BSFD) business, Greg has been privileged to work with dogs in the owner's own homes and as a result has witnessed many behavioural problems that just would not be seen in the weekly training (Alpha) environment.

Over the last three years in particular, Greg has formulated an effective and practical approach to teaching owners how to achieve a clear leadership position within the relationship with their dogs and in doing so has successfully helped to solve many, many behavioural problems. In many of these cases the problems had persisted through several attempts by other training methods, veterinary advice and professional (veterinary) behaviourist's consultations and as a result were often thought to be unmanageable and beyond modification. We have proven that this was not the case and the strategies used to solve these problems are simple to understand and quick to gain results!

The techniques and strategies developed through BSFD are now a complete behavioural modification and management system known as Canine Good Behaviour Shaping. The focus of the training has shifted from the obedience exercises and on to general behaviour shaping that is relevant to all interactions with your dogs. The techniques used are directly related to the training method Alpha customers learn in their obedience classes and can be easily taught in a day-long seminar.
