"Beyond Treats" Offers Solutions Amid Pandemic Puppy Boom and Dog Surrender Crisis

Sydney, Australia - 20 December, 2024 - As Australia faces the aftermath of a pandemic-driven surge in dog adoptions, the rise in dog surrenders has reached crisis levels. To address this growing issue, Sydney-based dog behaviourist George Tran has released his highly anticipated debut book, "Beyond Treats: Revolutionary Dog Training for Lasting Behaviour Change." The book provides actionable strategies to help dog owners navigate the behavioural challenges that often lead to surrenders, offering a lifeline to struggling pet families.

The COVID-19 pandemic inspired a wave of pet adoptions as Australians sought companionship during lockdowns, with one in four households welcoming a dog. Yet as routines resumed, many dogs developed behavioural problems due to a lack of socialisation and sudden environmental changes. Dog shelters have seen an alarming uptick in surrenders, with overwhelmed owners feeling unprepared to handle their pets' new behaviours.

"Beyond Treats" directly addresses these challenges, presenting a leadership-based training approach that builds trust and respect without relying on treats or punitive methods.

"The pandemic has been tough on everyone, including our four-legged friends," says George Tran, author and founder of the Dog Leadership Academy. "This book offers hope and practical solutions for pet owners, ensuring dogs stay in loving homes rather than being surrendered to shelters."

Key Challenges Addressed in the Book:

*
Separation Anxiety: Helping dogs adjust to being alone as owners return to in-person work.

*
Aggression and Reactivity: Mitigating fear and reactivity caused by limited socialisation during lockdowns.

*
Destructive Behaviours: Tackling boredom-induced behaviours like chewing and digging.
