On this episode of the Seeing Eye Dogs Show, host Harriet is joined by Seeing Eye Dogs Training Program Manager and Seeing Eye Dog Instructor Kylie Gersh about solving problem behaviours. We’re talking how to work with your instructor, SED staff contact or trusted trainer on how to work through undesirable behaviours with your dog. Whether you’re a client, carer or pet dog owner, Kylie is going to give us some great tips and info about how to resolve issues like dog distraction, counter surfing and stopping on walks so we can get the best life with our dogs. If you’re a Seeing Eye Dog handler, don’t forget you can reach out to your instructor, or to the team by emailing SEDclients@visionaustralia.org when any issues arise to get training support- don’t wait to get the help to get back on track! If you’re a volunteer carer with us please reach our to your staff contact for assistance.
