4DK9 Snake Avoidant Training

Details

Summary

Snake bites are the most common cause of violent death to Australian dogs. Australia is home to 10 of the world’s most venomous snakes. The most common snake bites in Victoria are from the Tiger, Brown, Red Bellied Black and the Copperhead Snakes.

Approximately 80% of pets survive snake bites if treated quickly; however, the survival rate is much lower for left untreated pets.

Snake antivenom is very expensive due to its being very expensive to make and limited shelf life. Estimates for the antivenom per dose range from $250-$700 (some dogs need two doses) and over a $1500 hospital stay.

We all know that prevention is better than cure.

TESTIMONIALS

Had our first session with JP from 4DK9 and WOW, the difference in our boy Gnocchi is already so apparent! JP is extremely informative and not only empowers the pet to learn and do better but also empowers the owners to continue the training confidently. Couldn't be happier so far and can't wait for our next training session!

Jodi Michelle

Blown away with the improvement from just our first session with JP. Our anxious rescue doggo had the most relaxed walk I have seen to date and picked up the basics of recall in one session. Highly recommend.

Natalie Jones

We honestly cannot thank JP enough the moment we dropped off axel to him for board training we knew he was in good hands. Everything was thoroughly explained and what we wanted to achieve. He also sent us regularly updates to ensure we were at ease at all time. Day 1 come to drop off axel was nervous and anxious Day 7 pick up wow!!!! What a difference it was we were in shock at how much he has changed just in 7 days.

We honestly were blown away thank you JP may god bless you and we cannot thank you enough. Definitely will be referring our friends & family. Keep up the good work…

My 15 month Rottweiler Voss and I had our first session with JP today. To say I was stoked with our session, the training we were taught and JP would be an understatement. After the long hour and twenty-minute drive there, I am pleased to say it was well worth it & we will be making this drive many more times in the future!! The progress that was made in just one session was remarkable. No force was used, all methods were intelligent and set the dog up to succeed rather than fail.

Voss generally ignores everyone except myself but JP had his attention and focus from the moment Voss met him. All methods were explained as we were going along and absolutely all my questions (be them as silly as they were I’m sure to JP) were answered with kindness and an explanation was given not just an answer. Being disabled I learn a bit differently, JP modified his teaching to suit how I needed to be taught to understand and grasp concepts and being an amputee I tend to cover up my arm; JP is a very kind and personable human and had me feeling completely comfortable within ten minutes and I was subconsciously comfortable rolling up my sleeve to show my amputated arm to hold the excess lead, this was pointed out by my friend who drove me down once we got back in the car, for me this was huge as I generally hide it. I feel so extremely blessed to have been put onto 4DK9 and will be back after we complete our homework! I love that JP is available in between sessions to send progress videos to and to get feedback on how the progress is going. After interviewing over 6 different trainers I am so glad I kept searching until I came across JP. For anyone considering dog training, I would recommend JP. His techniques and fairness with the dog is sure to bring out the best in all breeds and all types of training. I can not compliment him enough. I will be recommending JP to anyone who asks about trainers in future. Thanks, JP, from your mate Voss and his human!

Roxanne Stephanie

I highly Recommend JP. After our first lesson I went away with so much knowledge and a better understanding on how I can approve my relationship with Akira, any questions I had, he was able to answer in depth and he was more than happy to go over things until I understood. Can’t wait to see the improvements that come with JP’s training.

JP from 4DK-9 goes the extra mile, every time. When Habib (Blue American Staffy) came into our lives, I made a promise to myself that I would invest the time and effort into ensuring he would be the best dog for our family. Without JP’s (4DK-9) contribution to his development, this would not have been possible, as I would have Habib participate in the board & train element every 5 weeks (5 weeks with us at home & 1 week with JP), as it has been instrumental to his development.

There is a completely different stimulation that is offered to Habib, that as dog owners, we cannot offer. Leaving Habib to board with JP, to have a break from his daily routine at home has created a more independent and intelligent dog without a doubt. JP is an open book, his passion for animals and helping people understand dogs is fundamental in everything he does. Habib loves seeing JP and the stimulation he receives during that week, as mentioned earlier, is incredible – there is nothing worse than knowing that your dog isn’t comfortable. JP’s professionalism and experience with training K9s is also evident in his knowledge, methodology and actions. He has advised us with everything from Habib’s diet to sleeping habits and crate training. One of the most impressive parts of Habib’s training is the fact that JP learned all his commands in Lebanese/Arabic. JP stays in touch throughout the whole process whether it is through videos or messages (when Habib is staying with him or at home), he is there to guide and maintain the lessons taught. JP’s investment in Habib has been evident since he first welcomed us into his family; and we could not be more grateful for his dedication. We highly recommend JP as a trusted trainer/handler for your dog, especially if you want to create a more fulfilling lifestyle and relationship with them.

We took our big 14-month Rottweiler Leroy for a session with JP yesterday. Leroy is a “covid” boy who had only had very basic training by us.. He pulls so much I’m sure my neighbours were waiting for the free entertainment when one day he finally drags me over… (he weighs the same as me) When we arrived at JP’S and without fail he dragged me everywhere while JP came out to meet him.. JP was very patient and chatted to us for 10 mins while we explained the habits that we had let Leroy get away with.. we handed the leash over and he worked his magic.

While walking he was happy to answer any further queries .. He showed us how to walk him and how to get him to listen to us even when he is distracted.. we felt like we have walked away with a brand new dog.. we can’t recommend JP highly enough, If you have the same issues contact him! He is brilliant.. can’t wait to go back for next training session in a few weeks.. (JP even feeds his mates the magpies and Galahs while training which was awesome).

Carolyn Rodger

Today was our first lesson with 4DK9. I left so happy with the results after one training session. JP is so knowledgeable he helped me understand my boy better and answered all of my questions with honesty. You can truly tell JP loves working with dogs. You and your dog are in great hands with JP. I definitely will be coming back for further training. Thank you so much for everything JP.

From a complete novice untrained dog to an experienced scent detection dog. 4D K9 transformed Bella from Detector Dogs Qld into a professional well-trained scent detection machine. The hours of work and dedication shown by 4D K9 - Dimensional Canine Training is to be commended as they exemplify their commitment of producing excellence in the field of obedience and scent detection training.

Ruby (my rotti) just completed a weeks board and training with JP. Honestly, I couldn't recommend JP more highly! I am super impressed with the change I have already seen in her, since picking her up and I am looking forward to implementing the strategies that JP has passed on, now that we are back home. I have seen a couple of trainers over the last couple of years and JP has the skills, knowledge and expertise that is the best of the best! It’s obvious that he loves and knows what his doing. Thanks again for everything JP!

Mel Wohlers

JP is one of the most intelligent dog trainers I have ever met. He knows exactly what he is talking about and automatically knew what my pup was like in 10 minutes. I couldn’t recommend a better trainer than him and I can’t wait to keep working with him for my boy.

Nikita Salerno

What an amazing experience it was meeting JP today for my first session with my pup, King. Not only is he really welcoming, bubbly person but he explained things so well, taught me so much in just one session. He shared information that I would have never have known and saw changes in King instantly. Highly recommend JP!

Asanche Bilbilov

First training session with JP today, trust his knowledge and dedication to training both my dog and I. Looking forward to working further and would recommend getting in contact.

Anthony Mcdonald

I would highly recommend JP and his services. I sent my rottie Blade for a week to board and train with JP. He was extremely professional and provided multiple daily updates to ensure confidence that Blade was in good hands and having a blast learning. I am amazed at the progress he has made with her in a week. I now feel confident in walking her and feel I have valuable tools to help continue her training. I have used other trainers in the past that were one-dimensional and ultimately unhelpful. I look forward to working with JP in the future to further assist with Blades training.

Jenna Withanx

A very big thank you to 4D K9. Yesterday was our first training session & I wasn't really expecting much but i have already seen some improvements from my dog Coco. JP is very knowledgeable & has a passion for dogs & dog training, I highly recommend JP as he professional, down to earth & explained everything I needed to know while training my dog. Can't wait for our next session. Thanks again JP

Nikolaki Kalymno

First time meeting JP and couldn't be happier. He could read Moose like an open book. I'm looking forward to many more sessions and an improved outlook with Moose! Highly recommend this to anyone who wants a better relationship with their dog.

Max Zaid

I was beyond shocked to say the least with the amount of knowledge JP has in regards to training dogs. You would be surprised about how much you will learn from JP just after ONE session. He will teach you foundations and concepts that you will not hear from anybody else, the information he has is beyond valuable. I recommend everyone to come to see JP. We cannot wait for our next session!! Thank you!

Zidane Hazmi

JP had our Rottweiler Myla for two weeks on the board and train program. We couldn’t thank you enough for everything that you have shown her and taught her throughout the program.

Shaelee May

For any dog lover out there who loves their dogs unconditionally, you know when someone has that gift of perception mixed with skill and talent. That for me is JP who has agreed to work with myself and Amika my gorgeous 19 month German shepherd female who was attacked as a young pup by another dog and has severe anxiety now. I am sooo thankful for his knowledgeable, empathetic and measured handling of her and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone that needs a true trainer.

JP has given me confidence that with work and targeted attention the right way, we can help my Amika to reach her full potential with no fear. Can’t wait.

Anita Osavkovska

It was an absolute pleasure meeting with JP! My pup has already learnt so much and I can’t wait to meet up with him again. JP is professional and extremely knowledgeable. You can tell he is passionate about his job and his number one priority is the client (puppy/dog). He cares wholeheartedly about the outcome for owner and pup. I know my puppy is in the best hands with him.

Rachel Gedye

We just completed snake avoidance training with JP and already can't wait to go back for the annual refresher. His knowledge and skills are evident from the very first moment you meet him and see his interaction with the dogs. The course was effective almost immediately and I can't wait to book further training with JP beyond this course. A truly phenomenal trainer.

Drosta Mbo

Another great day of training! Everything is always in the detail and that is why you go to the experts. Thanks again JP. Looking forward to the next session.

Armata Constructions

Had our first session with JP and the difference in our American bully was amazing. Within 1/2 hour he was walking on a Lead without pulling and I wasn’t even stressed. You were amazing from the minute we walked in with him and set us up with techniques to work on with him before our next lesson. Can’t recommend JP enough.

Julia Furfaro

JP was awesome, very friendly and welcoming. If you think you can’t teach an old dog new tricks JP definitely can with my cheeky 7yo Labrador. Left me with some techniques to work on till our next session. Very happy with the experience. Highly recommend

Daniel Barakat

After only one session my dogs recall improved in leads and bounds. I now have a set of skills I can use to teach my other dog as well. Thanks for your guidance and advice. I now feel more confident training my dog.

Liz Hinds

Not your average puppy school/dog trainer. Going there and having absolutley no idea about dogs JP was so knowledgable with big and small dogs. For the first time meeting him and interacting with my dog I felt at ease, he was training her and explaining to us in detail why he was doing what he was and answering all questions. It made me feel really comfortable and helped me being the first puppy. JP also communicates via messages after training day if I had any questions.

He is the ultimate trainer, well done JP and we look forward to advancing our puppy in some advanced training with you!

Alycia Falzon

JP was excellent with our naughty Australian Shepherd, Koda. He’s just 12 months old with zero attention and discipline. Within 30 minutes he had him behaving himself in a way he never has before. Definitely 5 stars. We will be following up with further training and working on the tools JP has given us to get naughty Koda to be safe.

Melanie Kelly

I am definitely a skeptic on most things and don’t necessarily believe any reviews but i am so incredibly happy that i booked my 16wk old Shepherd in with JP! He had him sitting at his feet within 20mins waiting for the next command! His knowledge and approach to training has helped me endlessly. Looking forward to advancing his training further in the coming weeks.

Jay Clarke

Couldn’t recommend JP enough! Not only was he a legend and lovely to meet, my puppy was immediately comfortable around him and his advice/strategies are so helpful. Even the car ride home after the first lesson was a better experience. Thanks heap, JP.

Tayla Levey

I took my 18 month old Bull Arab X to JP for a training session to get his interaction with other dogs assessed as he becomes over-excited and anxious. JP was really good in listening to my issues & explained the 'why' behind what we were going to do, gave a clear structure with what we were going to do and then did the lesson. I could see results right there and then. Looking forward to future lessons and I'd highly recommend JP. I drive from Seymour to see him and it's worth it.

Trish Foley

JP is actually the best! He didn’t tell us what not to do but rather what we should do, which was amazing! He was so knowledgeable about dogs and shared the reasons behind his methods, which helped us understand our dog better. Our 8 month old GSD warmed up to him so quickly, and JP was so kind towards him. We have always been nervous with trainers as most can be arrogant and pushy, but JP absolutely blew us away with how comfortable he made it for all of us, and how understanding he was.

Our boy was responding to his training within the first session! 10/10 recommend, he’s a genuinely great bloke and even better dog trainer.

Rhani Treloar

Great experience working with JP. On time and very professional. Zip and I just finished our second snake training session and I couldn’t be happier. Living on a property and having lost a dog to a snake bite I am 100% confident that we won’t have to worry about that in the future. JP was really great and communicating the training and process being used and I can not state enough how much worry it’s helped me put aside. All that’s left is for me to watch and listen to Zip and we won’t have and problems.

Adam J R Sanders

ABSOLUTELY loved my first session with JP today. My 4yo Standard Poodle Watson can be a boisterous cheeky boy. I’m absolutely over the moon with my one on one first session today. Learn empowering, positive and effective control of his behaviour that was becoming unmanageable. JP is kind & caring whilst offering clear direction toward positive dog training. Highly recommend 4DK9. Thanks JP, Watson and I are now on a path to great communication.

Trish Wileman

I highly recommend JP. We went there today with our Doberman pup for time first time. JP got our pup to do some basic things, that until today I thought honestly would be impossible! I honestly couldn't recommend JP more! Please note I'm not affiliated with 4DK9 in any way, nor had I met JP until today!

Alf Liberti

We met with JP today to assist us with the integration of a 6 month Rottie pup to our family. Before meeting with JP we were totally unsure on which way to go but I have to say that JP is an absolute marvel. He is super calm and super balanced and within a short time had both the humans and the dog in a special place. We are blessed to have JP come into our lives and would absolutely recommend his services to anyone who is looking for a trainer.
