We love little dogs! While we specialise in large breeds, Sankiri has plenty of smaller students too😍

Here Sharna (left), Loki (middle) and Zola hang out during a group session. They're all popular with the bigger pooches, having learned their boundaries and grown in confidence.

Sankiri is a great place for dogs of every size to find their feet. It's a safe space for little guys, with larger dogs learning respect for their pint-pot companions.

We offer private lessons, in-home sessions and group classes, payment plans too!

Call 0401 634 392 for details. Make 2025 the year you train your dog!🐶

Rupert, the jumpy rescue dog, is finally finding his feet! ❤️

He's a classic foster fail. His carers fell in love with him and couldn't let him go. Yet the two-year-old was also extremely reactive, and a complete handful.

Sankiri has given Rupert and his owners a solid foundation to build on. Rupert is learning to socialise, and settle in the company of other dogs. Even enjoy himself!

We love seeing fur families move forward, finding new, calmer ways to relate.

Do you know someone struggling to control their beloved pooch? We can help! Call 0401 634 392 to discuss the options.

See you soon!🧡

Yeah Hunter, we ALMOST couldn't tell which one's which!🤣

Hunter stopped for a photoshoot beside the 'Summertime' dog sculpture at Brighton Dog Beach. This has a year-round, off-leash area (subject to time limits during daylight saving).

We reckon he looks pretty pleased with himself. Go Hunter!!

Meet Benny and Bjorn, the Schnauzers who need a little help with their social skills! 😍

Bjorn, 2 (right in first photo) was introduced to Benny, 6, when he was a pup. Since then, it's been a struggle for their owners. Benny and Bjorn have been reactive with each other as well as to other dogs.

Lorraine and Marlu to the rescue! The pair had a private lesson, then another running alongside group.

Next step is joining weekend group sessions, taking their training to the next level.

Then they really can live in harmony :) 🎵 🥰

Ralph the Rottie weighs in at 65kg. But he's a nervous nellie underneath :( 🫣

He's two years old now. When he was a pup, he had a couple of close encounters with aggressive dogs. That led to reactive behaviour around other dogs, including the friendly ones.

At Sankiri, he's learning to chill out in canine company, and trust everything will be okay.

He's doing great in group class, socialising well and learning quickly.

Good dog, Ralph!🐶

Hunter +beach = happiness! 💚💛🩵

There's nothing better than clear, shallow water and big expanses of sand to wear out your best mate for the rest of the day.

Love the sandy nose, Hunter. Think you need a hose-down!😜

Sitting calmly in the same room? Their owners can't believe it!!

Ghost (German Shepherd) and Archie (Rottie) used to be best buddies. Until, one day, they decided they hated each other. Since then, they've been kept strictly separate, to keep everyone safe.

During their first Sankiri in-home session, they started with a proximity walk outside, then sat at a reasonable distance in the garden.

Then, they sat for a while in the same room. Lorraine reckons they were confused about sitting so close together with no fuss!

Now their owners are applying the training each day, walking them together and getting them used to each other's company again.

Watch this space!!

Yep, puppies are definitely from another planet!!😂

Gibbs, the English Staffy pup, puts on a show for our more mature students . . . while Kaluka has a good laugh in the background!🥰

If you have a new pup who needs a little guidance - on manners etc - we'd love to help! Our puppy transition class caters for puppies aged 13 weeks-plus, with a focus on socialisation, testing boundaries and building confidence.

Call 0401 634 392 for details. We reckon 2025 will be a great training year😍
