This trio are all NDTF qualified dog trainers and share a passion of guiding dogs and owners to be the best they can be!
One of our clients have unfortunately made the decision to rehome their much beloved dog.
Despite their best efforts in training, they are unable to meet his needs at the moment.
We believe that sometimes rehoming of dogs is necessary and the owner should not be shamed for it so please no judgement.
If anyone is interested in taking on this big boy then let us know and we can pass on the owners details for you to contact.

🎓 Trainer Steph is currently studying to complete (another!) university degree
🌎 And trainer Mel is travelling and seeing the world
We are NOT taking on new clients at this point in time but will let you all know once our trainers are available for appointments again.
We appreciate the support we have received over the past few years and will miss our dog and human clients while we take this break 🐕 You truly are like family to us!
Happy New Year from our team!
🟢 Thank you to all of our lovely clients who have supported us this year. We know how selective owners can be choosing the right trainer to help them with their dog and we are so proud of the dogs and owners who we have helped this year ❤️
🔵 I am so grateful to have come back from maternity leave at the beginning of this year and been able to rely solely on the business for work, I love being able to do something I'm passionate about everyday and have met some dogs and humans this year who have made my life even brighter 🥰 - Jacquie
🔴 We can't wait to see what to year ahead has in store for us!
❗Attention❗
🟣 Trainer Mel is now available for Private Lesson, Walk & Trains and Training Adventures 🎉
🔵 Contact us to book in!
🐾 We are so excited to finally be stocking these slip leads by !!
🔵 I recommend slip leads all the time as a training tool so it is great to now have this option for clients.
❤ I am also low key obsessed with the rainbow lead, especially on my black boy Kovu 😍
🟡 Contact us if you would like to purchase one!
👶🏽Being a parent while running a business and balancing work has definitely had its challenges the last year!
🔴When babysitting plans fell through yesterday, baby Jayda joined Miles and Zero on their Training Adventure.
🟢Grateful for flexible clients who are happy for baby to tag along to training! It was also a great chance to proof some of the dogs skills, such as loose lead walking/heel with a pram and the added distraction during training.
🐾We have been a little quiet on social media lately (work and family life being busy) but we have still been training hard!
🟣Dave has been working on counter-conditioning around dogs in busy environments.
🟢Look how calm and focussed he remains with all the dogs walking past!
🔴In the past, Dave struggled with his anxiety and would let out a staffy scream whenever he saw a dog even at a distance
🐾Hudson enjoying his Training Adventure!
🟢Hudson is learning to socialise with other dogs more appropriately and building his confidence 💪
🐾Riley joined us for a Training Adventure recently to continue working on her anxiety and lead skills.
🔴Riley showed a lot of progress since our last session because her human has been working so hard with her, putting in lots of time and effort!
🐾Brigitte and Leland have been long term clients joining us for regular training Adventures!
🔴They went on a puppy socialisation adventure recently with the Lagotto puppy Finn, exploring new places and making new friends!
🐾Zero has a great foundation of obedience thanks to his human!
🟢We have been proofing these skills with off lead heel work and distracted stays.
🔵His brother Miles is tethered as a distraction and to work on his calm behaviour while Zero is getting attention.
🐾Nala has a human sibling arriving in just a couple of months so we have began training her to walk with a pram!
🟣It is important to train this BEFORE baby arrives 👶🏻
🔴Also, watch how well Nala does with the dog who walks past! 👏
🐾 As dog trainers and pet owners, there is always more to learn!
🟣 Over the weekend we attended an Aggression and Socialisation workshop run by Alex from hosted by Aimee from
🔴 We absolutely loved refining our own skills as trainers to further help our clients and our own pets 🙏🏻
🐾Miles & Zero practising their relaxation skills around other dogs.
🟣Socialisation is also teaching our dogs to, at times be neutral around other dogs rather than always playing!
🐾Chance joined us for a session on the weekend.
🔴We focussed on keeping him engaged around distractions while doing some agility! He was exhausted by the end of it 😴
🐾Name recognition is such an important skill for our dogs!
🔴It is important for our dogs to respond to their name in order to have a reliable recall and for us to get their attention.
🟢Brigitte, Rua and Ollie are showing off how they can differentiate between their names during Brigitte's Training Adventure today!
🐾Yesterday we met with Zeko for a private lesson
🟠Zeko unfortunately had some negative experiences with dogs as a puppy during his primary socialisation period. This has caused him to become reactive when on the lead around bigger dogs.
🟣It's back to basics with Zeko to work on his overstimulation outside of the home and then slowly add in the triggers.
🐾This cute duo joined us for another Training Adventure
🔴We focussed on off lead skills, agility/confidence building and social skills
🟣The improvement that these guys have made over such a short period of time is amazing!
👏Great work to their humans who put in so much time and effort with them!
🐾Nala joined us for another Walk & Train session last week.
🟠We focussed on engagement and loose lead walking in a new environment as well as passing dogs without having to say hello to everyone!
🐾Dakota and Barkley joined us for their first Walk & train session this week!
🔴Both dogs are strong pullers and get overstimulated on their walks.
🟠During our session we focussed on loose lead walking and engagement so walking them can be more enjoyable for everyone!
🐾Last week we had Nova for an Training Adventure!
🔴Nova can be super friendly but her behaviour will escalate when overstimulated
🟢We focussed on building her confidence and working on her social skills
**Nova is kept on lead as she is a serial fence jumper
**Kovu wears a muzzle so he can safely socialise
🐾Muzzled up Monday!
🔴Does your dog wear a muzzle? Share below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
🐾During Miles' last training session, he was joined by his brother Zero.
🟣Often dogs who live with each other can trigger behaviours in each other with is definitely the case with this duo.
🔴Miles has been doing great with his training independently so now it is time to up the challenge and work on training both dogs together.
🐾Having a solid foundation of loose lead walking is one of the most important skills our dogs should know
🔴Having our dogs on a loose lead encourages a calmer frame of mind
🟣Nala gets nervous of other dogs and can become reactive
🟢In this video we walked past 2 dogs, you can see that she does show some signs of nervousness (ears pinned back, lip smacking, scanning) but kept a good composure with no outbursts as she was kept calm on a loose lead
🟠It is also important to give our dogs breaks, sniffing is a great way for them to regulate so during our walk Nala was allowed to have plenty of sniff breaks during our walk
🐾Have a safe long weekend!
🔴Share what your doggos are up to this weekend ⬇️⬇️⬇️
🐾Kano here is such a sweet natured and loving boy but has a few mischievous behaviours.
🟣We have created a plan to target his problem behaviours including more rules/boundaries and environmental enrichment.
🟢Environmental enrichment is vital to maintain our dogs mental health and give them a productive job that does not include destroying our beloved possessions.
🟠What is your dogs favourite form of environmental enrichment?! My dogs love their Kong!
🐾Happy international women's day!

🐾Happy Saturday! Here is Riley from earlier in the week during her Walk & Train.
🟣Riley gets very excited on walks and will pull on the lead. She loves people so will try to jump on them as they walk past.
🟠During our session we visited a busy park nearby the beach.
🔵Here she is practising her foundations, loose lead walk, sit, drop and look around distractions. In the background there is a baby playgroup, children on the playground and a dog under a table.
🐾 Miles' Training Adventure this week also included a social session with staff dogs Jory and Felix 🐶
🔴 Dogs can be a little scary for Miles, so being introduced to some friendly dogs who respect his boundaries is important for him.
🟢During the session he gained confidence and even chose to sit in a crate with the other dogs!
