You can expect to see noticeable results in your first lesson, guaranteed! While improvements will continue to build in subsequent sessions, it's essential to maintain consistency in practicing the techniques taught. Just like learning an instrument, ongoing commitment and practice with your dog are key to achieving lasting results. Without this dedication, the benefits of training may not be fully realized, resulting in ineffective use of your time and investment.

For your dog's training session, please bring a well-fitted collar or harness and a leash. If your dog has favorite toys or treats that motivate them, feel free to bring those as well. Proper identification tags are also encouraged for safety purposes.

Training a dog is a process that requires time and commitment; it is not achievable in just one session. With the right instruction tailored to your dog, you will spend less time feeling frustrated. While you can expect to see results in your first lesson—this is true—it’s crucial to consistently implement the new techniques you learn in order to foster long-term behavioral changes in your dog.

Choosing the right training method for your dog involves assessing both your dog's specific behaviors and your individual goals as an owner. Each dog presents unique challenges; for example, handling aggression requires a different approach than addressing escape issues. Our priority is to resolve these challenges quickly and effectively, while minimising frustration for both you and your dog. We utilise a variety of proven techniques tailored to each dog's needs, ensuring a personalized training experience that suits their personality and behavior.

This is preferable but not essential, as we are looking for consistency from the whole family to get the desired results from your best friend.

The ideal time to begin training is immediately—there's no time like the present! Starting early prevents bad habits from becoming ingrained behaviors. As a dog owner, you will also benefit from learning what is appropriate for your dog and understanding canine behavior in general. Training is particularly effective with younger puppies, as they can develop both good and bad habits in as little as 2-3 weeks. In fact, the moment you bring a new dog or puppy home, training starts naturally, whether you realize it or not. The sooner you begin teaching your dog, the better their training outcomes will be!

While we provide all necessary bedding, food, and toys, you are welcome to bring your dog's favorite toys, bedding, or special food if you prefer. We want to ensure your dog feels as comfortable and at home as possible during their stay!

We accept pets from 20 weeks old, our aged care starts at 11 years and if your pet is 14 or older, we will require a fit to board certificate from your vet.

If your pet is on medication just bring it along with detailed instructions and we can administer oral medication.

Before participating in training or boarding, your dog must be up-to-date on vaccinations, including rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and bordetella (kennel cough). Proof of vaccinations from your veterinarian is required to ensure the health and safety of all dogs in our care.
