​

Our team of accomplished dog trainers, accredited and trained by the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT), are well-equipped to address a wide range of common training issues:

 

- Excessive barking or reactivity towards other dogs
- Leash pulling
- Potty training for puppies and adult dogs
- Reluctance to come when called (recall)
- Jumping up on strangers during walks or visitors at home
- Door dashing behavior
- Difficulty settling down during meals or relaxation time
- Effective crate training

 

If personalised attention is what you seek, our 1-to-1 training sessions are an ideal choice. We provide ongoing support via phone or Zoom even after the sessions.

 

For a fun and engaging experience, we also offer group dog and puppy training classes on weekends. These sessions take place indoors and accommodate a maximum of seven dogs at a time.

 

Our training philosophy revolves around cultivating a strong and mutually rewarding bond between you and your furry friend. We utilize positive reinforcement techniques to encourage your dog to make desirable choices, refraining from any form of force or aversive training methods.

 

Recognising that every relationship requires effort and each dog is a unique individual, we tailor our training plans to suit your specific needs and the characteristics of your dog's breed. We firmly believe that rewarding good behavior enhances its repetition.
