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.

"Was very happy with the way Ric explained things, especially about how the past effects a rescue dog."

Cristine

Trainer: Ric Kennedy

"Wow what a change! Thank you so much Glen for teaching us. Thanks for your patience and humor. You made so easy for us to relax and enjoy the experience. Mello is so much more relaxed now. Thanks for explaining things so well and easy to follow exercises to do with our new family member Milo. I was very sceptical, but the results speak for themselves. I am sure Milo can’t wait to catch up with you again. We are looking forward to the park sessions with you to help us get better. Thanks again"

"Honestly, Ric is my super hero! I had my first session today and I can already feel the relationship between my dog and I has improved! Ric made the whole process SO easy right from the get go. I am clear on all the steps and how to keep at them in the best way for my dogs behaviour, I was able to ask as many questions as I needed and Ric made me feel both comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. I cannot wait to see what the next few weeks hold and am so excited for the next lesson already! 😃"

"Kristie was great. We have a young daughter so fitting in time was challenging, but she worked within our time frame. And even worked around our baby during the lesson. One of our fears was our dog would lose her sweetness/affection during this process. But Kristie was excellent at alleviating our fears, explaining all the techniques and she was a caring dog trainer/owner herself, which really showed."

Trainer: Kia Parke

"You were amazing. Seeing the amount of control you were able to establish over our dogs within the first 30 minutes was mind blowing. I have been implementing the instruction you provided and I can already see the difference in the dogs. We are really looking forward to seeing all of the positive changes for them as time goes on. Thank you!"

"It was lovely to meet Glen. He is passionate and very knowledgeable. Bailey and I took a step in the right direction towards better communication with each other."

"We had a great experience working with Martin to help our French bulldog overcome some challenging behaviors like fence running, walking difficulties, and car chasing. From the first session, Martin demonstrated an in-depth understanding of our dog’s temperament and tailored a training plan specifically for these issues. Fence running was one of our biggest concerns, but with Martin's guidance, we saw a noticeable reduction in this behavior after just a few sessions. His positive reinforcement techniques worked wonders in redirecting our dog’s attention and energy in a more constructive way. Walking had always been a bit of a struggle, especially with distractions like passing cars. Thanks to Martin, we now have a much calmer and more enjoyable walking routine. Our dog is more focused and responsive on the leash, and the car chasing issue, which we thought would be nearly impossible to fix, has dramatically improved. Martin not only helped correct these behaviors but also gave us the tools and confidence to continue reinforcing good habits on our own. I can’t recommend Martin highly enough! He truly transformed our walks and overall peace of mind."

"I recently had Kristie come over to help with my 13-week-old Samoyed puppy, Benji. We were dealing with all the usual puppy issues - jumping, barking, nipping, crate training, you name it. I realised I needed a professional to ensure I was training him right for the future. Kristie was incredibly professional, kind, and approachable. You can instantly tell that she’s not only highly knowledgeable about dogs but also genuinely passionate about what she does. Within just 20 minutes of her being in the house, I noticed a drastic improvement in Benji’s behaviour. Throughout the session, Kristie walked me through every step, showing me practical solutions to each problem I had. No matter what I asked, she had a clear, helpful answer. If you're looking for someone to help you train your puppy the right way, I highly recommend Kristie. I was skeptical at first, but now I know that bringing her in was the best decision I could've made for Benji’s training and future."
