Private Coaching
We believe there is a lot more to dog training than just training the dog, exploring motivation, emotion and relationship first is vital, as this plays a large part in why a dog may be displaying a certain behaviour. Our programs are designed to give you the skills and confidence to understand and develop your dog's behaviour, both during and after our time working together.
With a heavy focus on effective leash communication, exploring and developing meaningful reinforcers that your dog really cares about and creating a training routine that works for you, our customised training programs give personalised training in a structured format. You will receive guidance through discussion and simple exercises that, with repetition, will provide clarity in communication and improvement in your dogs behaviour.

Growth Programs
This is the next step for clients who have already completed a Starter Program and are ready to take on further training. Growth Programs are designed to take the basic skills developed prior to this and put them into practice in more difficult scenarios. This may mean working your reactive dog around their trigger or proofing obedience in more challenging situations.
All sessions in Growth Programs are approximately 1 hour in length, conducted at a location best suited to the goals of the session. Each program is customised to your specific goals.
