Private Dog Training

In-home consultations to help dogs of all ages who struggle with a specific behaviour

Specific dog behaviour training

If your struggling with a single behaviour problem, I can help you understand why this behaviour is occurring and what we can do to help change bad habits. I use proven science-based positive reinforcement techniques, teaching from the dogs (or puppies) point of view. If you’re experiencing any of the following behaviours I can help:

  • Pulling on the leash

  • Barking

  • Recall (your dog not coming back on cue)

  • Jumping up at humans

  • Nipping or biting

  • Counter surfing

  • Resource guarding

  • Destructive behaviour inside or outside the home

  • Separation anxiety

  • Confidence building

Tailored to your needs

Just like humans, every dog is different and every dog will learn at a different pace. I tailor training specifically to you and your dogs needs and goals and will show you how you can teach your dog an alternative behaviour to what they are currently doing.

Investment

We start with a 70-minute initial consult and assessment, which is $295. During this session, we begin by discussing the issue you are experiencing whilst I observe and assess your dogs ability to learn. Next we talk about why your dog is behaving this way and how we can help change the habit.

Following the initial consult, we develop an action plan to help you towards achieving the behaviour change and results you desire. We will then work together on teaching methods for your dog and put these methods into practice together, so you have the skills to go forward.

These subsequent sessions are available in packages. For example, two 70-minute consultations at a saving of $15 per session. The two sessions are to be redeemed within 6 weeks of purchase, however, to achieve behaviour change, I recommend sessions two to three week intervals.

Currently I service Sydney’s Lower North Shore, Upper North Shore, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs. and the Woy Woy Peninsula on the Central Coast. Please advise if you are located elsewhere for a quote.
