⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Dave came to help us with our 2-year-old Chihuahua, Chichi, who was exhibiting aggressive behaviour. Right from the first session, we witnessed a remarkable improvement in her behaviour—less growling and no more attempts to bite.

"Dave's approach was very effective and tailored to our dog's unique needs. He took the time to understand our concerns and provided valuable insights into creating a harmonious environment for our furry friend. We now feel more in control and confident in managing Chichi’s behaviour.

We highly recommend Direct K9 Services to anyone facing dog behaviour issues and looking for a reliable and effective training service. We had a great experience, and we are incredibly grateful that Dave has helped transform our angry little chihuahua into an obedient and friendly dog!"

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ "Dave has been doing some amazing behavioural work with my German Shepherd Lexi in the last few months.

"He's observed me with her and was able to identify and some of Lexi's behavioral issues alongside with corrective techniques that have been amazing. They even assisted me during surgical recovery, to the point where I was still able to walk her as I had better control and wasn't having conversations with my dog, with command overload.

"Dave taught me some simple, effective techniques with clear language. I no longer look like I'm going 'skiing' when trying to walk her and in fact the best part is she's now a delight to walk and she's relaxed as well and we BOTH enjoy walking together. It's evident that Dave has invested in some incredible dog training courses. He approaches the dog with such kindness and philosophical / logical reasoning on going about adopting correcting behaviours, being only firm when he has to.

"He makes it about the dog being in control and understanding the positive rewards and positive reinforcement when THE DOG does something right. The relationship and respect/ bond he developed with my dog was admirable to witness and the best part is he has the patience of a saint and worked on my relationship with her to equal care and measure. I can't recommend him highly enough.

"Do yourself a favour and give him a call - you'll see the Dave magic that I mean!"

Yes we are dog trainers, but really we teach people to train their dogs. Most of a dog's time is spent with the owners, even if a trainer visited every day that still leave 22-23 hours of time to unlearn what they have learnt. That said we are very experienced in understanding what your dog needs and what the right pathway is for your success - all of which we pass on to you! If you need help to help your dog, contact us via our website. #directk9services #dogtraining #dogtrainingmelbourne #dogtrainingadelaide #dogs #doglove #doglife

We get asked 'I just want my dog to recall at the beach...'. It's not always that easy but good leadership goes a long way and for some dogs it's a long term project. No treats in this clip, just a good relationship and bond. #dogtraining #dogtrainingadelaide #dogtrainingmelbourne #dogs #doglove #directk9 #dogbeach

It’s always great to get some R+ from our clients. Direct K9 Trainer Grace putting in the hard work with her clients and the results speak for themselves. “Just wanted to give you an update on Ted and his training. Ted has come along leaps and bounds. He doesn’t come through the back door until asked to come, he’s about 80% with that. His recall is amazing, I bought him the long lead and that helped so much. I took him to the park the other day and there were birds everywhere, normally he’d just run after them now he looks and then looks at me to see if he can chase them. Playing with other dogs has improved as well even the other doggo parents have noticed the change in him .” Melbourne • Geelong • Adelaide #directk9_ #puppiesofinstagram #puppies #puppiesoftheday #dogsofaustralia #dogsofinsta #dogsofinstaworld #dogsofmelbourne #puppiesofmelbourne #dogsofadelaide #puppiesofadelaide #dogsofgeelong #puppiesofgeelong #puppiesofgeelongwest #dogoftheday #australianmade
