What do current members say about the academy?
Andrea and the Aussie Academy has truly changed my dog! I have watched/read so much training material online and made some progress over a long period of time. NOTHING compares to the Aussie specific knowledge and training Andrea provides. I was able to tackle huge obstacles and make a ton of progress quickly by learning why my dog is the way she is, what to STOP doing and what to START.

Luna passed the ultimate leave it test this weekend when she spotted a mouse in our yard. When she bolted towards it I shouted at her to leave it and called her back to me. She passed with flying colours and thank goodness she did as the poor things looked so sickly. We suspect it had been poisoned and I don't even want to think about what would have happened should Luna have gotten a hold of it. Real life test of how important both training commands are.

This is an AMAZING training course. Andrea Bogle has such knowledge and insight into this wonderful crazy breed. The course is broken down into workable sections. It is never overwhelming. Best of all, my dog Bailey is becoming confident, well adjusted dog that is always enjoyable to be around.

Jo has had a great month. All the relaxation training has paid off and she's calm enough to be allowed in all areas of our house now without us having to watch her like a hawk every second. We also had a big win at the beach. Her 30 ft. lead somehow fell off and she went streaking towards 3 other dogs playing by the water. I called her name and she turned on a dime and came racing back to me. I could not believe that she turned away from playing dogs and recalled off lead from 30 plus feet away!

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I really be able to help my dog with an online dog training program?
Absolutely! There are several reasons why I think online training is one of the best ways to train:
- It’s 100% on your schedule. Train any time at your own pace.
- It’s at your location. No need to pack up your dog and drive anywhere. It also means you are not adding extra stress and triggers to your dog’s life before they are ready.
- Ever had an in-person lesson and everything made sense in the moment but afterwards you know you are forgetting details, have questions and things start to get foggy? With online training you can review the lessons any time and as many times as you need. So can any family members, friends or pet sitters involved with your dog’s training.
- It’s much more cost-effective than hiring an in person trainer. You get the same knowledge and skills without the high price tag.
What training methods do you use?
We focus on positive motivational methods including several types of rewards such as treats, play, toys, praise and wigglebutt scratches. We use mild punishers to interrupt behavior and set boundaries. We do not use any corrective collars (choke, prong, shock) or tools that can cause pain.
I am already working with a local trainer, will this interfere with my training?
Many of our clients work with other trainers for obedience, agility and other dog sports, or for behavioral help. Usually, most training programs complement what we teach. However, if you are enrolled in training that uses e-collars or strong punishers then the mixing of training approaches will be confusing to the dog and we recommend that you choose one or the other to be successful.
Is there a certain contract length?
The membership is month to month so you can cancel at any time. When cancelling you will keep your Academy access until the end of the billing cycle and then lose access to your Academy course library and our Facebook community group.
What if life gets busy and I fall behind?
The academy is self-paced and you can work through the training as quickly or slowly as suits your life & schedule. There is no 'falling behind', you work on what your dog needs and can ask questions about any training issue at any time for feedback.
