Meet Tiggy, she is your typical fun loving Staffy X puppy, who signed up with Diverse Dogs to do a Puppy Development Package that had a strong focus on Impulse control especially around the kids playing.

There was an incident where Tiggy had a fear response to her human brother on a swing set, she didn't like it and wanted him nowhere near them.
This resulted in a trip to the hospital and a few stitches were needed.

We got to work on impulse control activities and calming exercises during the kids play times. I am happy to report that Tiggy has done a fantastic job and there hasn't been another trip to the hospital since!

🐾 Transforming Challenges into Triumphs: Christiana & Ronaldo's Story 🐾

Every dog owner dreams of a happy, harmonious life with their furry friend. But when challenges arise, it can feel overwhelming and disheartening. Christiana and her pup, Ronaldo, faced one of these struggles—but with determination and the right help, they turned it all around.

Full Testimonial: Finally, the Trainer Your Dog (and You) Need in Your Lives

It was all going so well. My partner and I had finally decided to get a dog. We were so excited and full of hope for a beautiful life ahead with our new furry companion. When we first met him, he was tiny, and we immediately fell in love. We did all the right things puppy parents should do—puppy school, careful socialisation, crate training, and obedience training.

Then, when our pup turned one, something terrible started to happen. He became reactive to other dogs while on lead—usually bigger dogs—and it was pretty unpredictable. He started losing confidence in many ways, and it kept getting worse. We thought we had done a good job with our pup, but it was all unravelling fast. I was terrified of going on walks with him, never knowing when he would explode—lunging, barking, and pulling out of control. When he was able, my partner would take him for walks and hide or try to distract him whenever he saw other dogs. We were constantly on high alert.

I went to see the dog trainer who had helped us with puppy and obedience school. Frustrated and in tears, I asked for advice, only to be told that sometimes you just have a reactive dog and need to learn to stay home and focus on enriching, home-based activities. This was far from what my partner and I had envisioned. We were devastated.

I was determined to give my pup a less stressful and more enjoyable life. I was not going to give up on him, but I didn’t know what to do next, and the future looked uncertain and difficult.

But sometimes, the right person finds their way into your life when you need them most. I bet you can guess who that is—Tim from Diverse Dogs. He’s our expert guide and all-around rockstar dog trainer. Meeting him was the best thing ever for our pup (and for me!).

Tim had a clear plan and took the time to understand our pup’s challenges. His expert and kind approach has been nothing short of transformative. He taught us awesome techniques, from helping our dog become more comfortable when he sees or hears scary things, to safely and securely holding the lead, clear communication, and even how to play with our pup so he can engage with us better and be calmer every day. Tim has also helped us build our own human calmness and confidence, which has clearly had a positive impact on our pup—and that’s been wonderful for us too.

My partner (health much improved) now comes back from walks and excitedly tells me about all the big, scary dogs he and our pup have calmly walked past. And I’m delighted when I take him on walks and to cafés, knowing exactly how to help and guide him through any situation. I feel so much calmer and more confident in every real-world situation, and that feels incredible!

We’re all much happier and more confident, and I’m filled with hope for a long and happy life together. It has been amazing to see our pup grow in confidence. We recently moved house, and he adapted far better than I could have imagined, settling right into his new home within a day! I still can’t believe it.

And my proudest moment so far was a group class that Tim ran where we sat with about 10 German Shepherds and a few other dogs for a 1-hour Breath and Bark session where my pup sat calmly through the whole class, even when a large German Shepherd came and sat next to us at the last minute setting off a lot of the dogs in the group. But Ronaldo and I both stayed super calm and kept breathing. I am just so proud of that moment, and I keep it in my mind any time I need to remind myself about how far we’ve come.

We’ve still got work to do and more progress to make, but we’re always learning. We know we can do it, thanks to Tim’s clear, effective guidance and constant encouragement. Tim genuinely loves, loves, loves dogs, but he also cares deeply about their humans! He is truly committed to ensuring everyone—pets and their owners—can live content and healthy lives together.

Wishing you all the best on your journey to a better life for you and your pup!

Fleur is a very misunderstood staffy X that first came to Diverse Dogs for some dog and sometimes human reactivity issues.
She is very timid and is also scared of men especially if they're wearing blue workwear. She was a rescue dog that was lucky enough to find a loving family with another dog Dema.

Dema is a mix breed with possible Cattle dog variations and the two have been inseparable but due to Fleur's reactivity issues, walking became a bit of a nightmare.

After purchasing a reactivity pack the owners would bring both dogs to training sessions although to get a good understanding of Fleur, we needed to see Fleur on her own without her brother Dema.
It became evident fairly quickly that Fleur's reactivity is not as bad when she wasn't around Dema.

For the remainder of Fleur's reactivity pack the dogs have been separated whilst outside of the house and the sessions are focused on Dema's reactivity issues to dogs and wildlife. It turns out that when in public Fleur would fight Dema's battles and react to his insecure and fearful tendencies.

Meet Rama, she has had a rough start to her life as a rescue dog. She has been living in a foster parent situation until she has recently found her forever home with a loving couple near Murwillumbah NSW.
She first came to Diverse Dogs to assist her foster carer with some walk and train sessions where Tim conditioned her to a clicker and halter, whilst teaching her loose leash walking and working on her Dog reactivity issues.
Since she has found her forever home Travis has been working with her on a number of things from crate training, desensitization to wildlife and lots of play and general manners around her new house and family.
