Balanced dog training combines positive reinforcement (rewarding desired behaviours) with gentle, constructive corrections for undesired behaviours. This method encourages a well-rounded approach that addresses the needs of the dog while fostering a trusting, respectful relationship between the dog and owner. It’s highly effective for a wide range of dogs, from puppies to working dogs, and helps create lasting results.
No, we work with dogs of all types—whether they are working dogs, family pets, or dogs with specific behavioural challenges. We have experience training all breeds, including service dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs with special needs. Our training programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual dog, regardless of their background.
The timeline for seeing results depends on several factors, including the dog’s age, temperament, previous training, and the behaviours being addressed. For basic obedience, many owners start seeing improvements within the first few weeks. For more complex issues like aggression or reactivity, results may take longer. Consistency and commitment to the training plan are key for success.
Our trainers will assess your dog’s behaviour, temperament, and goals during an initial consultation. Based on this assessment, we’ll recommend a program tailored to your dog’s specific needs. Whether you need basic obedience training, behavioural modification, scent work, or specialised services for reactive or aggressive dogs, we’ll provide guidance on the best fit.

For aggressive and reactive dogs, we use a combination of desensitisation, counter-conditioning, impulse control exercises, and controlled exposure to triggers. The goal is to help your dog feel more confident and calm in situations that would typically cause a reactive or aggressive response. We also work with owners on handling techniques and consistent training strategies to ensure long-term success.
Yes! We offer puppy-specific training programs that focus on building foundational skills like socialisation, house manners, and basic obedience. Starting training early helps set puppies up for success and creates a positive learning experience for both the dog and the owner.
Absolutely! We encourage family involvement in the training process. In fact, we offer programs designed specifically to teach families and children how to safely interact with dogs. If you’re training a dog in a home with children, we can help ensure that everyone understands how to communicate with and handle the dog safely.
To get started, simply reach out to us via our contact form to schedule an initial consultation. During this session, we’ll assess your dog’s needs, discuss your training goals, and recommend the best program. After that, we can schedule your first training session and start working toward the results you want.
If your dog has medical or behavioural concerns, we will work closely with you to address those issues in a safe and appropriate manner. If necessary, we can collaborate with veterinarians, behaviourists, or other professionals to ensure your dog’s overall well-being while training. We also provide training for dogs with special needs or those requiring modifications to accommodate their health or condition.
For your first training session, please bring your dog on a leash or harness, along with any training tools you currently use (such as treats, a halter, or a favourite toy). We recommend wearing comfortable clothes and shoes, as you may need to participate in the training. If your dog has any specific behavioural concerns, feel free to share any relevant information or medical history so we can tailor the session accordingly.
Yes! We believe that training is an ongoing process, and we offer follow-up support to help ensure continued success. After training sessions, we provide guidance on how to apply the techniques at home. We also offer ongoing consultations if you have questions or need additional support as you continue working with your dog.
