Accredited - Sankiri Dog Training & Behavioural Specialist

Sparky's an exuberant boy. It's soooo hard to stay still. But he holds the drop!!

Even when his owners disappear inside the door, he keeps his place. All that Sankiri training pays off!

We spend lots of time teaching our doggie students and owners this important skill. Once they master the drop-step away, it's so much easier to go out and about. The owner has control, the dog is calmer, and stress levels go right down.

Holidays are lots more enjoyable when everyone knows what they're meant to be doing. With Christmas coming up, call 0401 634 392 for a chat. How can we help YOUR dog?

Okay, so we reckon Lorraine and Sharna go to the same hairdresser!😍

It's not all hard work at Sankiri. We make sure there's time to let your hair down and share a joke 😁

With Christmas in sight, and holiday socialising on the agenda, now's the perfect time to train your dog. That means you'll all be ready to enjoy some festive spirit, knowing you have the control you need over your four-legged friend.

Come along to a Meet & Greet (Saturday/Sunday 8.30am) or find out more about in-home lessons, private sessions and group classes.

Either way, call 0401 634 392 first to get the ball rolling. See you soon! 🙋

Not sure what Sparky's dreaming about, but it's not pretty!!🎃👻🦇

Sankiri wishes everyone a happy Halloween for tomorrow night - stay safe whether you're out trick and treating, or just staying home to watch a scary movie🧟‍♀👹

And make sure your dog knows it's all just pretend . . . it's okay, Sparky always looks like that when he's asleep!😜

Archie gets crazy-excited around other dogs. Cue Marlu to demonstrate the chill-out.🧘‍♀🧘‍♂️

And it worked! Instead of going off like a frog in a sock, Archie is shown how to rein in his high spirits and learn how to wait.

The three-year old Lab is pictured here in his first private lesson. Next, he'll have a lesson running alongside the group. Then he's ready to join our weekend classes!

Care to join us? Check out a Meet & Greet session (8.30am Saturday or Sunday) or find the right level of training for your dog (we run puppy, beginner, intermediate and advanced skill classes).

Call 0401 634 392 for details. We have payment plans too!

Meet Holly, the rescue dog who can now look forward to some real Christmas spirit in her life🎁🎄🔔

Her owner took the five-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer home from the Cranbourne shelter four months ago.

It hasn't been easy. Holly had real trust issues. She was dog aggressive and anxious, running away at every opportunity.

Now she's like a different dog. Love, stability and Sankiri training have combined to produce a calmer, friendlier, happier dog who is already a firm family favourite.

"Group class has been the best thing to happen to us," her owner says. "The socialisation is so important. She's learning so much, so fast."

Call 0401 634 392 for details - we offer private and in-home lessons as well as our weekend group classes at Seaford PARK Primary School.

We love helping rescue dogs settle into their new homes!❤

Heelers Pip (red❤️) and Jimmy (blue💙) learn to wait, when they REALLY want their owner😢

We spend a lot of time teaching our students how to wait quietly, without freaking out or making a bolt for it! They can only release on their owner's command.

Yeah, I know, guys. It's rough. Promise it's worth it though. Life is so much more enjoyable - for dog and owner - when you're living in harmony! 💛

Nothing like a canine meet and greet to socialise your dog 💙

Socialisation is a major part of Sankiri training. It's vital to get your pooch used to being around other dogs, and calm in their company.

It's pretty good for humans too! Why not come along to one of our weekend Meet & Greet sessions? Saturday or Sunday 8.30am on training days (follow page for weather and holiday updates).

Call 0401 634 392 first to let us know you're coming. Oh, and leave doggo at home for this one. Watch the class in session, chat to senior trainers, and see what Sankiri training can do for your dog. We have payment plans too :) 🩵

Sankiri pooches and owners line up for distraction training!🦮🐕‍🦺🐩

Whether you're waiting your turn, or walking up the middle, it's a real test of how far your dog has travelled in their lessons.

Our students are all pretty well behaved here, but you never know. It only takes one dog to react, and the chain reaction goes down the line!

Well done all, you aced it today. Keep up the good work 😍

Why not join us? We train on Saturday and Sunday mornings at Seaford PARK Primary School, follow the page for weather and holiday updates.

We love welcoming new faces (human and dog). Call 0401 634 392 for details. Ask about our payment plans!

Day light savings tomorrow, the first Sunday in October 😳

Roger that! Life's a lot more fun when you don't have to guard your owner 24/7 😎

Roger thought it was his job to protect his owner from, well, pretty much everything. This made him reactive to other dogs and people, anything he saw as a potential threat.

After an initial private training session, then one running alongside the group, Roger has successfully joined group class and is really making strides.

Now his owner needs to build confidence and good leadership skills, so Roger doesn't find the need to be in charge. Good job! 👋

Jupiter the Dane's a big unit. His strength is just out of this world! 🪐⭐️🌎

His owners found him a complete handful. If he didn't want to listen, he'd play up, Fine around small dogs, he'd get excitable and bark at larger ones.

It takes skill, as well as muscle, to manage a dog like Jupiter. Fortunately, Sankiri specialises in reactive and large breed dogs. We love the challenge!

The photo on the left shows Jupiter in his first private training session. On the right, he's now successfully transitioned to group class, though he's still more comfortable around the small pooches!

Slowly does it, Jupiter. You're getting there🥰

Struggling to control your doggo? Call 0401 634 392 for a chat about how we can help. We offer private training, in-home sessions and group classes - payment plans too :) 🌗💫
