How We Support Our Clients in Sydney

We have helped clients all across Sydney with their dogs. From excessive barking and separation anxiety in adult dogs to helping new puppy owners through their first year. Services we offer include:

  • Puppy programs for puppies between 0 - 4 months
  • In person group puppy school focussing on socialisation, behaviourism and command training.
  • Our adolescent puppy training for dogs 4 - 12 months

We put safety at the core of everything we do: for you, your pet and our team.

The transformation that happens when dogs and their families learn to communicate effectively is remarkable. Stress levels drop, enjoyment increases, and the bond between dog and owner deepens. Whether you're dealing with specific behavioural challenges or simply want to maximise your dogs happiness, professional training makes everyday life better for everyone involved.

Every dog deserves the chance to be their best self, and every family deserves to enjoy life with a well-trained, happy companion.

Our Community

How Does Your Dog Training Work?

Developing a well behaved dog has 2 parts: dog psychology & dog training. We focus first on understanding your dog and getting them to choose to follow and listen to us. When dogs aren't making all the decisions, they calm down and relax, making them far more receptive to training. To do this, we don’t need to use force, fear or aggression. In fact the opposite. Whether dealing with barking, leash pulling, jumping, or aggression, these behaviours typically stem from dogs being too excited, reactive, and emotional. The key is getting them to turn to you and listen when it matters. Once they're calm and looking to you for guidance, you can effectively show them how to behave.
In short: before you train the dog, you need to win their mind.

What Qualifications to You Have?

All our team members are required to pass AFP background checks before working with us as well as sitting and passing the Red Cross Pet First Aid Australia course. I trained under Dan Adbelnoor and graduate from the Dog Trainer Academy whilst also being a Certified Professional Pet Sitter (CPPS) from Pet Sitters International.

Can You Guarantee Results?

No dog trainer or behaviourist can guarantee outcomes in a given timeframe unless they are willing to use unethical methods (eg shock collars etc). As a completely dog training organisation, we would never use these methods.

There are 4 important factors when it comes to training:

  • Your ability to be consistent (the most important)
  • Your personality
  • Your dog's breed
  • Your dog's background

We always tell our clients that if you follow our training, are patient and diligent you should see the 1/1/1 rule. That is gradual improvement in 1 day, 1 week and 1 month.

The methods we used have helped over 100,000 other dog owners to solve their dog's behavioural issues.

What Are The Main Services You Offer?

We help pet owners with everything from buying the right no pull harness through to fixing dog aggression. The most common areas that people work with us on include:

  • Puppy school (puppies 0 -4 Months)
  • Puppy Programs
  • Adolescent Puppy Training (4 - 12 Months)
  • Adult Dog Training (12 Months+)
  • Online Dog Training
  • Dog Day Care, Pet Sitting and Dog Walking

Does Your Training Use Fear, Force Or Aggression?

ABSOLUTELY NOT. If you want a method like that I suggest you call the 1980's, go back there and never get a dog. We teach the dog calming code, a method based on positive reinforcement that reinforces your role as the leader in your dog's eyes.

Absolutely. We help owners all across the world with their dog's and cats. Best thing to do is join our community and get involved. There is plenty of free training support and advice, as well as further online training if you want to use that.

What Is The Best Dog Training Method?

That is a great question. There are currently 4 major ethical schools of thought that have significant evidence behind them in terms of results for owners.

Plenty of trainers have a "die on a hill" mentality when it comes to their method. Our view is simple. it's similar to dieting.

If you want to lose weight, the best diet for you is the one you follow.

Different people are likely to stick with different things. All that matters is that you do something consistently.

Our method is a great foundation and has worked for huge numbers of owners. For those looking for something different we can incorporate other methods on top of this core behaviourism training.
