PRODOG FAM

🙌 So many of our clients doing amazing work with their dogs.

🐕 Our training programs have a strong focus on the development of each dog (not just fixing problems). Balanced, content and happy dogs, are far less likely to display undesirable behaviour.

🐕‍🦺 This approach also hugely benefits the dog/handler relationship. Creating a high level of trust and understanding, resulting in more freedom and opportunity to explore the world.

LOCATIONS 👉 Glen Waverley & West Footscray

REACTIVITY/LEASH AGGRESSION
8 Lesson Package

8x 45 min lessons: $990
(Includes $50 store credit for equipment) 

This is a private lesson package, carefully developed to assist with these behavioural issues. Your trainer does have access to dogs which can be used in these sessions.

A private lesson format is the best option for these cases, as it provides a more careful mechanism to introduce dogs and to start the counter conditioning process, leading to real results.

Once working through the private lesson package you will be far better equipped to join a class.

Handler Mechanics: West Footscray
Buddy Spohn

Date: January 31st, 2026
Time: Saturday (2pm – 9pm)

It is not a requirement to have attended Part 1 to attend Part 2. Both standalone but do very much complement each other.

Join us for Part 2 in our Handler Mechanics series. The second part of the series aims to build on many of the fundamental concepts we covered in Part 1, to bring even more tools to your arsenal as a trainer or handler.

Part 2 will consist of a wide range of topics including the how and why of using toys as reinforcement, working around distractions, approaches to increasing criteria, common mistakes in teaching, and much more.

MARK..... THEN REWARD

THE “ANXIOUS DOG” TREND

Labelling dogs as anxious has almost become fashionable.

But what happens once we apply that label?

Do we stop asking deeper questions - the ones that really matter?

Is this dog living in the right environment for its needs?

Is it getting true fulfilment through meaningful outlets like play, work, or exploration?

Has anyone looked beyond behaviour to lifestyle, genetics, and learning history?

Sometimes, the label becomes the answer - when it should only be the starting point.
And in that rush to diagnose, are we sometimes too quick to medicate before we’ve addressed lifestyle and training?
