Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions we get about our services

Common Questions

Should I get a dog?

For most people the answer is no. Dog ownership is expensive and time consuming (especially the first 6 months) and people are not aware of how challenging this can be. Owning a dog is a wonderful experience but you need to make sure you are ready

What is the right breed for me?

That really depends on your lifestyle and financial situation. There is no one size fits all. You can use our lifestyle calculator to learn more.

What if I cannot find my breed?

Don't panic. We have worked with a long tail of rarer breeds (eg Wolfhounds, Deerhounds, Dalmatians, Neopolitan Mastiffs etc) and are happy to write guides if you need help. (We only have so much time)

Are there any dog breeds you do not work with?

No. Whether you have: a Chihuahua or a Mastiff, an unhinged lunatic of a Spaniel or a goofball of a Rottie. Big, small, angry, lazy, cute, ugly, cuddly or just straight up weird, we love them all.

Many dogs are stereotyped against because some idiot decided to treat them badly and make them into something they are not.

I have worked with Groodles that were dangerous to the point I couldn't enter the room and a 90kg Rottweiler who had to have his cuddly "Lilo and Stitch" toy whenever we went for a walk.

What is the length of the puppy program course?

The program runs from the day your puppy comes home through to around 8 months old. The 4-week in-person Puppy School happens once your puppy has had their second vaccination, usually from around 11 weeks, with 6 months of dedicated support throughout.

What if I am not in Sydney?

We help support clients all over the world through our online training. We even have clients in Sydney who prefer to learn online only. Please join our community to see what is available.

What are the most common issues you help owners with?

We have covered a range of issues including:

  • Leash and walking issues - pulling, reactivity, and aggression during walks
  • Jumping up on people - inappropriate greeting behaviour and attention-seeking
  • Excessive barking - at doors, for attention, when left alone, in cars, and around property
  • Aggression problems - toward people, other animals, or objects
  • Separation anxiety - destructive behaviour and distress when left alone
  • Biting, nipping, and destructive chewing - especially common in puppies
  • Recall issues - not coming when called or running away
  • Potty training problems - house-breaking difficulties
  • Fearfulness and anxiety - phobias, scared behaviour, and hyperactivity
  • Puppy behavioural issues - general new puppy adjustment problems
  • Inappropriate elimination - including eating faeces
  • Furniture and boundary issues - jumping on furniture, accessing restricted areas
  • Multi-dog household problems - dogs not getting along with each other
  • Muzzle training - teaching dogs to accept and wear muzzles properly

Is the community really free?

Yes, absolutely. You can access all of them through our free community where we also host weekly dog training zoom calls. You can stay as long as you like.

What is the purpose of the community?

Our community exists to help improve owner education across the world. We believe that the better owners can be educated, the more likely they are to have the relationship with their pet they have always dreamed of. Additionally, Pat Miller once said that 98% of dog's given into rescues /shelters/abandoned had received zero behavioural training. We hope that, if you are considering this, these guides might give you the information you need to stop that.
