29th December 2025 - Laura Burton
Laura dealt with Jumping up, Pulling, Separation anxiety
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.
Trainer note from Laura
Hi Merrie, Thank you for taking the time to complete the review, it was great to see Rocky responding and starting to gain in confidence. We have a long journey ahead to get him over his anxiety and I'm looking forward to continuing on it with you both. Laura

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!

Ric dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Separation anxiety
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!
Trainer note from Ric
Hello Sage, Thank you for your review, when you had told me you have used multiple training programs and had no success, I knew we would be able to help you. We do see many situations like yours, when you focus on dogs natural behaviour and communication rather than new age gimmicks, well the proof is in the results. I'm so happy for you both keep up the good work, I'm looking forward to seeing you in a our next session. Kind Regards Ric

Kye was excellent with Bowie. Explained everything well. Would recommend him if you need help with your dog.

Martin dealt with Barking, Jumping up, Other
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.

21st December 2025 - Kye Morris
Kye dealt with Aggression, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management, Recall
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
20th December 2025 - Catharina Jeffery
Catharina dealt with Barking, Pulling, Recall
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.
Trainer note from Catharina
Thanks so much for leaving a review, it has been a pleasure to work with you and Ollie (3 year old, male Mastiff x Labrador) and help him overcome his insecurities. He is a sweet boy, it was great to hear you could have a tradesperson over and Ollie listened to you and settled calmly, something he really struggled to do before. Well done!

18th December 2025 - Glen & Maureen Guelfi
Glen & Maureen dealt with Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Puppy management
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.
Trainer note from Glen & Maureen
Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
15th December 2025 - Emma Reeves
Emma dealt with Barking, Chewing, Digging, Hyperactivity, Jumping up, Pulling, Recall, Separation anxiety, Sibling rivalry
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 note from Emma
Thanks Teaghan, it was great to meet you & your family, and the gorgeous Buffy. I'm looking forward to seeing your continues progress at our next session.

15th December 2025 - Kelly McClelland
Kelly dealt with Jumping up, Pulling
I’ve seen a huge change since working with Kelly. Rocky is now walking calmly next to me on the lead without pulling, which I honestly didn’t think was possible so quickly.
At home, the difference has been just as big. My housemate’s dog is no longer attacking Rocky and the constant barking has settled right down. The whole house feels noticeably calmer and more balanced.
Kelly’s approach has made a real, practical difference — not just for Rocky, but for our entire home.
Trainer note from Kelly
What a marshmallow! Rocky is a Pocket Bully, and his head is as big as his personality! Such a sweet boy, and for a breed that is often tarred with negative opinions, he is all about the love. But, being able to have control was crucial - thanks so much for inviting us in the help! Door answering? Sorted lesson #1 - as was jumping up, recall, boundary setting and we kick started his obedience journey. The second dog in the home was also assisting with negative behaviours, but Rocky's new found control has certainly worn off onto the 2nd dog, in a good way! His lead walking, dog excitability and recall with distraction were our main lesson 2 focus, and you have really followed everything to the Letter T! Massive well done, huge improvements and I am here to support for the Life of the Dog :-)!
