A Bit About Us

How we Work


Our dog training service, based in Newcastle, NSW is tailored to you, as each situation is different. We visit you at home, so we can fully appreciate the nature of the challenge with no conflicting distractions to your dog. By offering in home consultations dog and puppy training generally progresses quicker, as they feel less threatened and more relaxed. This goes for the handlers too!

We work not just with the dog, but hand-in-hand with you, their handler. We guide you into working directly with your dog, so your dog responds to you. We are working on creating the perfect partnership.

We work with a variety of dog training issues from jumping, barking and destructive dogs and are also happy to work with rescue dogs, which sometimes arrive with extra emotional baggage.
