Our training programs aren’t about Band-Aid solutions. Instead, we begin with learning the WHY behind your dog bad behaviour and then design a customised program based to get you the fastest results.
The process

The process

01 Book a discovery call

In this call we have the opportunity to learn more about you and your dog. We find out about the problems that you are experiencing and recommend the best training program to help solve your training struggles.

02 Confirm your booking

Once you have locked in your program we get started - book a time for your kick off call. You will complete an intake form to map out your current struggles.

03 Begin your training program

During the kick-off call we work through your current struggles and build out your custom training plan which we use as the framework for our training sessions. During the program you get access to your online portal where you receive homework and send updates to and from your trainer.

04 End of the program

At the end of the program you will have reduced or removed the problem behaviours by replacing them with more desirable ones - and have built a better, more positive relationship with your dog.

The process

I reached out to Marianne as my dog had fear aggression and was very reactive towards other dogs.

Through the training, my dog has shown so much improvement and is less reactive. I now have the tools and tips to prevent reactive behaviour and also understand the individual needs of my dog, to help her feel safe and confident around other dogs leading to less reactive behaviour.

This training has been so valuable and informative, I can’t thank Marianne enough!"

We serve clients from all around Australia with our online sessions, but we are located in the Inner West, Sydney and travel around most of Sydney’s suburbs for private training. We also offer online training versions of the above programs for those outside of the area. Online training works just as effectively as in-person training, in fact, for some types of clients, we insist on it for safety and faster training results.
Our values set us apart from other trainers in the industry - we know that building relationships are key. In our eyes, there are no such thing as a ‘problem dog’. You are simply bringing us a canine challenge that we will find a solution for together. We constantly see amazing results with our pet parents as they continue to build a relationship of trust and find the joy in learning and growing together through their training journey.
If you are looking to just find out more about training and behaviour modification, select an initial consultation only. If you have 1-2 issues that you are dealing with, e.g. Barking and jumping at visitors, then you would likely need the basic program. If you have multiple issues and a long history of the problem behaviour, or you are dealing with serious aggression towards other pets, people or animals, then you will need to book the intensive program to work through these.
For our programs we can offer a payment plan of either 50/50 deposit and payment 1/2 way through the course, or 25% throughout the course. Please let us know if you’d like to take advantage of these payment programs.
