Every Dog Is Different And Sometimes They Need A Little Extra Support

If your dog's behaviour is leaving you feeling overwhelmed, unsure, or even a little defeated, you're not alone.

Whether your dog is barking and lunging on walks, struggling when left alone, guarding food or toys, feeling fearful or anxious, or simply finding everyday life challenging, we are here to help.

We understand that unwanted behaviours can be challenging.  Our approach goes beyond simply stopping the behaviour.  We take the time to understand why it is occurring and teach your dog alternative skills.  This creates positive, lasting change while helping your dog feel more confident and making life easier for both of you

Support Tailored To Your Dog

Every dog is an individual, which means every behaviour consultation is personalised to suit your dog's needs, your lifestyle, and your goals.

We'll take the time to listen to your concerns, gather a detailed history, observe your dog's behaviour, and discuss the factors that may be contributing to the behaviour you're seeing.  You will leave each consultation with practical, achievable strategies that you can begin using straight away.

Together, we will develop training and management strategies that you can confidently implement.

Our approach is always kind, ethical and science-based using force-free, positive reinforcement training methods that help dogs learn, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to succeed, while strengthening the relationship between you and your dog.  

Common Issues We Work With

• Barking or lunging on walks

• Separation-related behaviours (like barking, destruction, or panic)

• Guarding food, toys, or space

• Fearful or anxious behaviours

• Difficulties with handling, grooming or veterinary visits

• Household management challenges

• Other behaviours that are impacting you and your dog's wellbeing

Comprehensive Written Behaviour Assessment & Training Guide

Prefer to have everything documented in one place? Following your initial consultation, you can choose to receive a personalised written Comprehensive Behaviour Assessment & Training Guide created specifically for your dog.  This is an additional $160.

As this guide is developed from the information gathered during your consultation and the strategies discussed during your session, it is important that it is requested while those details are fresh.  If you would like to add this option, please let me know within 24 hours of your initial consultation.  An invoice will then be provided, and report writing will commence once payment has been received.

This detailed guide provides a practical guidance to support your training and includes:

• A summary of your dog's behavioural assessment

• An explanation of factors contributing to the behaviour

• Individualised management strategies

• Step-by-step training exercises

• Recommendations for progressing your dog's training

• Resources tailored to your dog's specific needs

Many clients find having a written guide helpful as a reference throughout their dog's training and as a resource that can be shared with other family members involved in their dog's care.

Additional Support

Some dogs and families benefit from ongoing support after completing their initial Behaviour Consultation Package.

Additional sessions are available for clients who would like further coaching, continued guidance, or support as their dog's training progresses.

Please contact us to discuss your individual needs.

Please note: A travel surcharge may apply for locations over 20km from postcode 3136.
