Dog Training Randwick - Professional Dog Trainer & Behaviour Expert

Caley adopted an ex-racing greyhound named Clover in Randwick. Clover needed training to adapt to pet life. After one session, Caley learned so much about getting Clover comfortable in her new home. Having a trainer come to their own home made it easier for Clover to be comfortable and herself. The handouts and demonstration proved useful for their ongoing work together.

That's what proper training does. It meets your dog where they are and teaches you how to help them adjust.

I'm a dog trainer and behaviourist working throughout Randwick and surrounding areas. Training happens in one 2-hour session at your home, focusing on your specific challenges - whether that's adapting rescue dogs, managing suburban behaviours, or handling Centennial Park proximity.

Dog Training & Behaviour Randwick

I run single 2-hour sessions at your place. Training where your dog lives produces results. Working elsewhere doesn't transfer to your actual daily environment.

My approach helps you understand your dog's perspective. Once you see why they behave certain ways, you respond appropriately. No harsh methods. I work with natural learning processes.

You get ongoing support through the Online Dog Trainer platform. Extensive video library with handouts and demonstrations you can reference. When questions come up, you have resources available.

Work at it for a month and you'll see changes. Some owners notice progress in two weeks. But that means daily practice.

Rescue dog adaptation is common in Randwick. Like Clover, many dogs need help adjusting to pet life from racing, shelters, or other backgrounds. We teach you how to help your dog feel comfortable in their new home and environment.

Pulling toward Centennial Park starts blocks before you reach it. Your dog knows the route and pulls constantly in anticipation. We teach loose-leash walking specific to your usual route.

Reactivity on suburban streets creates stress during walks. Your dog lunges or barks at other dogs you encounter. We address the anxiety driving this reaction.

Jumping on people creates problems in Randwick's residential areas. Your friendly dog greets neighbours inappropriately. We teach proper greetings.

Recall issues in parks become dangerous. Your dog won't return when called at local parks or Centennial Park borders. We build reliable recall through structured practice.

Separation anxiety shows as destructive behaviour or barking when you leave. Your dog hasn't learned that being alone is safe. We help you teach independence.

Puppy Training Randwick

Raising puppies in Randwick requires preparation before they arrive. Suburban living. Centennial Park proximity. Local shopping centres. Preparing properly prevents problems.

Pre-puppy work covers whether you're ready for a dog, which breeds suit Randwick's suburban environment, and how to prepare your home. You receive video guides and breed information.

From 8-16 weeks, puppies form their worldview. Early weeks focus on home management - toilet training, chewing prevention, sleep routines. At 12 weeks, weekly puppy school begins with small groups.

Randwick puppies need conditioning to specific things. Local shopping centre activity. Centennial Park borders with various dogs. Residential street encounters. Traffic noise. We expose puppies early so these become normal.

Puppy school covers behaviourism, training, socialisation, and owner education. We're building dogs who function calmly in suburban environments. You access our online portal with 300+ video tutorials.

After 16 weeks, adolescence hits. Your cooperative puppy tests boundaries and shows increased reactivity. We address these before they become permanent.

Dog Walking Randwick

Walking dogs here means navigating established residential neighbourhoods with proximity to Centennial Park. Your dog needs to handle transitions from quiet suburban streets to busy park environments.

Solo walks suit dogs building skills or managing reactivity. We practice on quieter residential streets first, away from shopping centre and park intensity.

Group walks work for social, well-adjusted dogs. We're selective about combinations, matching temperaments carefully.

Routes depend on what your dog handles. Local shopping centres provide stimulation with pedestrians and activity. We use these areas only when dogs demonstrate readiness.

Centennial Park borders offer extensive green space. Popular with dog walkers, creating multiple dog encounters. Well-socialised dogs manage this. Dogs building confidence need quieter residential routes initially.

Local parks throughout Randwick provide smaller green spaces. These work well for training without Centennial Park's intensity.

Each walk runs 60 minutes with clear goals. Loose-leash work. Impulse control. Confidence building. Always purposeful.

Pet Sitting Randwick

Travel creates stress around pet care. We provide in-home sitting so your dog maintains routines in familiar surroundings.

Day visits work for shorter absences. We handle feeding, provide fresh water, spend time with your dog, walk them through the neighbourhood. We collect mail, check your property. You get photo updates.

Overnight care means we stay at your place. Your dog keeps their exact routine - same sleeping spot, same meal times, same walking routes. Nothing changes. For anxious dogs or those needing medication, this consistency prevents problems.

Cats receive the same attention. We maintain feeding schedules, clean litter boxes, provide interaction based on personality.

Board and Train Starting 2026

Next year we're launching board and train. Five intensive days with your dog at our facility. Very limited spots.

Why Randwick Creates Specific Needs

Randwick's character creates particular training requirements. Established suburban neighbourhood means residential streets with steady dog-walking traffic. Your dog encounters the same dogs and owners repeatedly.

Centennial Park proximity means most walks eventually lead there. Managing excitement about this destination requires training. The park attracts numerous dogs creating multiple encounters during single visits.

Local shopping centres bring commercial activity to otherwise residential areas. Dogs need to handle transitions from quiet streets to busier shopping precincts.

The community includes families, professionals, and students from nearby universities. Diverse population means varied dog-handling skills among other owners. Your dog needs training to handle encounters regardless of other owners' control levels.

We know Centennial Park borders get busiest on weekend mornings. We know which residential streets offer quieter training routes. We know which local parks work better for building skills. Local knowledge matters.

Training Locations

Most work happens at your home. That's where your dog lives and where issues occur. We address settling calmly, door behaviour, appropriate conduct in your actual environment.

Outside training uses actual Randwick locations. Quiet residential streets for foundational work. Local parks for controlled distraction training. Centennial Park borders only when dogs demonstrate readiness for multiple dog encounters.

Reactive dogs start on quieter streets. We build skills before introducing park intensity. Each dog progresses individually.

Real Results From Randwick

Caley adopted Clover, an ex-racing greyhound needing help adapting to pet life. Racing dogs face unique challenges transitioning to homes - different environments, new rules, unfamiliar situations.

After our home session, Caley learned how to help Clover adjust comfortably. The handouts and demonstrations provided ongoing reference materials. Having training at home meant Clover could be comfortable and herself during the session, making learning more effective.

That's the goal. Teaching you how to help your specific dog with their specific needs. Providing tools you can use long after the session ends.

How Training Works

Dog training follows learning principles. I help you read your dog's behaviour so you respond effectively. We address root causes.

You participate actively. I'm teaching you how to work with your dog. Sessions are practical - you practice while I coach.

After the session, the Online Dog Trainer platform provides resources. Video tutorials, handouts, demonstrations for various scenarios. When questions arise, answers are available.

Daily practice for 30 days typically produces changes. Some owners see progress sooner. But that means structured work every day.

Serious issues need more time. Deep anxiety doesn't resolve quickly. Established aggression requires months. I'm honest about timelines.

About Randwick

Randwick sits southeast of Sydney's CBD, known for established residential neighbourhoods, proximity to Centennial Park, and suburban family character. The area mixes houses and apartments with local shopping centres and parks.

Centennial Park borders Randwick's western edge. This massive parkland provides major dog exercise area and attracts dog owners from throughout the eastern suburbs. Weekend mornings see heavy dog traffic on park paths and open areas.

Local shopping centres including Randwick's main retail area create commercial activity. Supermarkets, shops, cafes bring foot traffic and activity to otherwise residential streets.

Residential streets throughout Randwick are established and leafy. Most properties have some yard space. Dogs here have more room than higher-density suburbs but still rely on walks for proper exercise and mental stimulation.

Local parks dot the suburb providing smaller green spaces for neighbourhood dog walking. These see regular use from nearby residents and their dogs.

The area includes Prince of Wales Hospital and University of New South Wales creating additional activity and population density in certain areas. Students and hospital workers add to the community mix.

Transport uses buses primarily. Light rail connects some areas. Randwick Racecourse attracts crowds on race days creating periodic traffic and activity spikes.

The community includes families attracted by schools and space, professionals working nearby, and students. Dog ownership is common. Social expectations include proper control and picking up after dogs.

Coastal beaches including Coogee and Clovelly sit nearby. The Bondi to Coogee coastal walk passes through neighbouring areas. Many Randwick residents access these beaches regularly, meaning dogs need beach conditioning even though Randwick itself is inland.

Weather follows Sydney patterns. Mild winters, warm summers. Suburban character with trees provides some natural shade on residential streets.

The suburb's size means reasonable route variety for dog walks. You can choose different streets, local parks, or Centennial Park depending on your dog's needs and training goals.

Starting Training

We begin discussing your dog's specific issues. What behaviours cause problems? What's your living situation? What's your typical day? Where do you walk?

Then we schedule one 2-hour session at your home. Working where your dog needs to behave. You'll see progress and understand what to do next. Like Caley received handouts and demonstrations for ongoing reference.

Afterwards, you have online support through the Online Dog Trainer platform. Questions arise during implementation - you're not alone.

Puppies should start before bad habits form. Prevention beats fixing problems.

Give it 30 days of genuine effort. Most owners see changes within that time. Some notice progress sooner.

Common Questions

Can you help with ex-racing greyhounds like Clover?

Yes. Racing dogs need specific help adapting to pet life. We teach you how to make your rescue comfortable in their new home and environment. Each session includes handouts and demonstrations for ongoing reference.

My dog pulls constantly toward Centennial Park. Can you fix this?

Yes. Pulling from anticipation needs specific loose-leash training on your actual route. Your dog learns pulling stops progress and calm walking gets them to the park. Requires consistency from you.

How long before I see changes?

Most owners practicing daily see progress within a month. Some notice changes within two weeks. But you must practice daily with proper technique.

What happens in the training session?

Two hours at your home addressing your dog's specific issues. I teach you how to handle them. You practice with my coaching. You receive handouts and demonstrations for ongoing reference. Then you have online support afterwards.

Do you walk dogs alone or in groups?

Both. Solo walks suit dogs needing focused work. Group walks work for social dogs. I match approach to each dog's needs.

My dog won't come when called at parks. Can you help?

Recall needs structured building. We make you more rewarding than everything else and create reliable response to your call. Takes practice in actual park environments.

Can you help with rescue dogs adjusting to new homes?

Yes. Like Clover's situation, rescue dogs often need help adapting. We teach you how to help your specific dog feel comfortable in their new environment and adjust to pet life.

When does board and train start?
