Our dog friendly training is
simple, natural and 'FAST'

Our methods focus on creating a positive relationship between you and your dog to improve your dog's behaviour and obedience. Our expertise is in understanding how a dog naturally thinks, learns and communicates and then using this to show you how to be your dog’s leader. Once this relationship is established, behaviour change is a natural next step. Our techniques work with any age, any breed, any issue. You and your dog get one-on-one attention, an individualised plan to suit your family AND guaranteed support for the life of your dog.

"Kelly was great with showing us how to deal with Teddy."

Jo

Trainer: Kelly McClelland

"I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly Rocky responded to the commands and guidance that Laura provided after only one training session. He continues to obey reasonably well, though is easily distracted."

Merrie

Trainer: Laura Burton

"Ric was very thoughtful and detailed and nurturing. I really appreciated the thought that went into every explanation and demonstration. We’ve been through quite a journey my pup and I and at times it did feel hopeless, but now after our first session I’m hopeful that we have the right support with Ric!"

Sage

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Ric is a great guy, supportive, patient and knowledgeable. In just a short time he assisted our dog with recall, pulling on the lead and jumping in and out of the car. Totally recommend him!"

Wendy

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Martin did a great job explaining the process making it easy for us to understand. We were amazed and impressed with Isla's improvement after only one lesson."

Isabel

Trainer: Martin Blattman

"Kye was very well educated and able to assist us with issues Tyson was displaying, being a extra large dog (St Bernard 90kg) others were very hesitant to assist us with a him, this was not a problem for Kye who never hesitated over his size"

Tom

Trainer: Kye Morris

"Fantastic training, everything was well explained and Buddy has been a much calmer dog using the guidance we were given"

Victoria

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"Cat is amazing. We were dealing with excessive barking, pulling on the lead, no recall, not friendly to visitors (being protective of us and the house). From the first appointment the excessive barking stopped. We are still working with our dog Ollie on all other areas but the change that happened so quickly was impressive. I would highly recommend Cat. She really gets to know you and your dog. Her method of teaching you what to do and how, as well as why, is so helpful. We are very very happy with such quick results and feel as though we have a lot of knowledge so that we can keep working on everything with her support. Get in contact with her if you have any issues with your fur baby, do not put it off."

Victoria

Trainer: Catharina Jeffery

"We could not have asked for a better experience. Glen was fun, easy to listen to and helped us understand our dog so much better. He never made us feel bad for what we didn’t know. A single training session changed our relationship with our dog and made all of our lives so much better! We did not expect to see instant results for jumping up and nipping. We could not be more grateful."

Terri

Trainer: Glen & Maureen Guelfi

"We had Emma come to our house for training with our 12 month Buffy. She was great, warm and easy to take advice from. She tailored our training to suit our very busy life and allowed us to see how we can incorporate our training in day to day life. It was a very conformable and positive experience."

Trainer: Emma Reeves
