Puppies are capable of being formally obedience trained from as young as five weeks of age in very short sessions.
It is common to have some of the more trainable breeds of puppies as young as 11 weeks of age, sitting, dropping and staying in the one position for several minutes at a busy shopping centre whilst the owner is in a shop out of the puppies’ sight; as well as heeling nicely by the owners left leg both on lead and off lead, coming when called from 40 or 50 metres away.
Dogs are living, breathing, and emotional creatures of independent minds, as we are. It is imperative to appreciate that all dogs cannot be trained in exactly the same way.
A clear understanding of the dog’s mind is essential for successful training. Mindset, training exercises, health and emotional needs need to be considered to cement a pack leadership, promoting a calmer and more co-operative dog.

With my Shelby we went from trainer to trainer across Brisbane with him. Told not to come back, he was untrainable, dangerous, had fear aggression and should be surrendered. I was beside myself I had never given up on a dog. I contacted Ross and we drove Shelby to Rocky
I can’t begin to express my gratitude for you and your kindness and training you did with our 2 Syria and Rocky. With your male and our beautiful Syria we created many great litters of dogs that have gone to loving homes. Gaining knowledge of our mistakes and gained a
I cannot thank you enough for helping me train my strong-willed bordoodle fur baby! When I worked with you in 2000, our cocker spaniel Millie was a breeze to train. This lead me to incorrectly assume I was pretty great at training…. Add 22 years and one active, super intelligent
Wish we could clone you 🙂 I know Charlie my old red kelpie from Noosa RSPCA and I learnt so much from you Ross and your boys, forever grateful for the early years of our classes way back in the 90's . I have bought and gifted so many of
You are well respected Ross and have a natural affinity with canines. It’s an honour to be your friend and our lives have been enriched by your guidance and support with our dogs. Of course Sarge and Macy had a head start coming from you ♥️🤗🥰Always loved your classes and
This book contains all the information you need to be able to train your dog in obedience. I trained under Ross Allan for many years and went on to serve in the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (AQIS) K-9 unit as well as train utility and security dogs for commercial contracts.
I was fortunate to attend Ross’s dog training sessions in Noosa with my rescue dog Red, a kelpie X. Red was given to the pound as he was a bad influence on their other dog. He was a puppy when they gave up on him. After my training with Ross
I just wanted to say Thankyou to Ross Allan. He helped me out with a troubled dog. What I really loved was that he taught me to think like a dog. He really 'gets' the psychology of the animal and he applies that in his teachings. I downloaded the e-books and read them
Ross Thanks for the book. I've actually done a speed read through Pt 1 and checked the chapter headings in Pt 2, so pretty comfortable with my knowledge of the material and ability to answer anyone who questioned me over it. I enjoyed it and was amazed at the depth of
Ross, I recently read your FB post of 21/9/22 that included extracts from your E-Book: Dog Training; care &obedience made simple. I found the problems you identified enlightening when coupled with there medial action taken. Your article included a couple of examples of inappropriate behaviour being exhibited by mydaughter’s 2 year old
Ross’s experience spans over 50 years, and is the author of “DOG OBEDIENCE TRAINING” published by TFH. His concepts of training based on working dog ethics have gained him recognition from both the law enforcement industry and obedience trialling arenas. His research into behavioural problems is proving invaluable when it comes to solving training problems.
Ross has seen many changes to dog training over the years, and whilst not critical of newer systems, he still believes that for the average dog owner, simplicity is best.
