Puppy training for dogs seventeen to thirty two weeks includes the following:

• One to one training sessions at home, covering the behavioural rules and your own areas of focus. Bronze has one session, Silver two, Gold four and Platinum eleven. Sessions run sixty to ninety minutes and can happen in your home, or at the park, or wherever you are struggling.
• The online course, included from Silver up, structured across five parts. Orientation, The Big 8, your Weekly Journey from week 8 to 24, a standing Problem Library, and Beyond The Spine for adolescence. This gives you the confidence that you can solve any problem with your dog.
• Behavioural and breed specific guides. We identify the most common issues with breeds and how to solve them, plus more than twenty other behavioural topics.
• Lifetime access to the 5 Golden Rules from the day you sign up.
• Support through our online community. How you reach us is set by your level: community on Bronze, direct message on Silver, phone and text on Gold, and priority phone and text on Platinum.
• Where a session needs it, we provide equipment such as front pull harnesses and long lines.

The adolescent program is a combination between our Adult Dog Training method and our online puppy program. For every owner, we teach the foundational behaviour rules that will help your dog to live a calm and happy life. Once we have covered that we move on to breed specific, behaviour specific and other focus areas that you need. At this age dogs commonly exhibit selective hearing, are struggling with recall during playtime and a host of other things.

Most people have been brainwashed into thinking that if your dog can do sit or paw, they are well behaved. But a well behaved dog is much more than that. Can you leave them at home without barking? Or meet dogs in the park without reacting? Do they Resource guard? Or can they be walked calmly on the leash?

Although a lot of owners think their dog will do this naturally, I can tell you for a fact that they cannot. There are more owners than ever before with dogs suffering from separation anxiety, that cannot be walked calmly or are reactive to everyone.

Our adolescent program teaches you everything you need to know about: dog psychology, dog behaviourism and dog training. We help you to set great foundations for your puppy and also how to identify common behavioural issues as they arise and know exactly what to do.

Imagine having someone in your corner all the time to help you understand your dog's behaviour and what you need to be doing at the exact right time

Yes, we are fully insured.

Yes, we work with plenty of working breeds and are used to supporting owners in urban environments with these highly intelligent dogs

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.

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

Yes. Repeated encounters require different management than random meetings. We teach calm greetings and impulse control specific to familiar dogs.

Yes. Excessive barking in apartments usually comes down to separation anxiety, boredom or attention seeking. We work on the root cause through structured independence training rather than just quieting the symptom.

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.

Of all the issues we cover this is by far the most common in Sydney. Unfortunately, there is no one fix for this and usually it takes a combination of elements to get results. There is no guarantee of fixing separation anxiety
