Our Services

Private Lessons
Private one on one training sessions, that are personally designed and tailored to meet the needs of each individual owner and their dog. Sessions are available for both puppies and adult dogs.
Private in home sessions can cover basic training and manners, puppy problems and puppy set ups, lead walking and mild behavioural issues. Please note we do not work dog aggression cases.
If you are unsure of suitability for training sessions, please contact us before booking.

Walk & Trains
Our Walk & Trains are a 45 minute session designed to improve your dogs lead walking skills and includes developing better focus on the handler, as well as environmental socialisation.
We often start with the sessions around your local area and build up to outings where there are more distractions and things of interest. You don't necessarily need to be home. Lots of our clients have us collect their dogs from the yard or house and return them when the session is finished.
Walk & Trains can be purchased as a once off or a 5 pack. Purchasing a pack is the best way to achieve results with your dogs training.

Sessions may includes: Basic training, socialisation with other dogs, meeting new people, environmental socialisation (different sounds, surfaces, textures, experiences) and fun activities and games.
Social Paws. Small group walking session. Designed to develop skills for loose lead walking, environmental socialisation and building handler engagement. Sessions will be held in various areas around Canberra and may include visiting areas of low, medium and high distractions.
Café Training: Join us a once of the local cafes to practise skills such as: settling on the mat, greeting people appropriately (and learn when to say no thank you), Loose lead walking, multitasking and management and environmental socialisation.
** PLEASE NOTE: to be eligible for Social Paws and Café Training sessions your dog must have some prior training in place, this is not a suitable class for beginners. You will need to have completed some form of training with us or another local trainer we are familiar with. **
