Dog Training on the Gold Coast
I am bringing a rather unruly Adelaidian Puppy with me....he's in serious need of telling whose boss and the meaning of words such as 'fetch', 'sit', 'stay' and my personal favourite 'NOOOOOOOO! stop chewing that!'
Joking aside though, he's a lovely dog is our 'Ratchet' (careful how you go pronouncing that!). He just needs some obedience training, maybe trying out for some agility classes.
A google search just confused me more
So can anyone lead 
me in the right direction with a recomendation?
Thanks Everso....

Re: Dog Training on the Gold Coast
i had two completely uncontrolable springer spaneils - and their time in quarantine did them no favours!!!
put them here http://www.redgumkennels.com for 2 weeks of training when we were back in the UK and got two AMAZING dogs back.
they did all the hard work for us and we just go to the odd (free!) sat morning class to keep the skills up.
The dogs are a total pleasure to work with now... when we took them in for an assessment they guy said that when we came back he'd have them walking together on the same lead, at heel with no pulling, no taking off to chase things or eat stuff lying on the ground - no probs at all. I didn't believe him and wished him luck -- he totally made me eat my words!!!
