A Dog's Choice Training Services

About

A Dog’s Choice Training Service assistance dog program was created due to the demand from people who did not fit the criteria of the service dog program for the charity that Liz co-founded with her husband Scott which was specifically for Veterans, First Responders and Correctional Officers with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and service related injuries – Whiskeys Wish Inc (www. whiskeyswish.org.au)
A Dogs Choice Training Service is also a Registered NDIS Provider

During many training excursions with recipients of the charity’s program, we were often approached by many who had disabilities and who suffered from major depression and other mental health issues as well as parents of children who had autism who struggled with trying to train or meet criteria to train either their own dog or obtain a dog from an assistance dog training organisation that had long waiting periods.Positive Approach to Training

This training style is based on the sound scientific principles of animal learning and operant conditioning. We focus on rewarding your dog for desired behaviour.
