We offer a wide range of dog training services across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and surrounds to help dogs and their owners live happily together.

Our approach

Our focus is to teach owners how to build a relationship with their dog in a positive way.

This can start anywhere…whether you have just bought a new puppy, having troubles with your dog or introduced a rescue dog into your home.

Behavioural modification for dogs and owners who are struggling with reactivity is one of our specialties. We will teach you how to understand what is happening with your dog and how to read the signs.
