Is This Your Dog?

Needs Training

Your dog needs to learn boundaries and understand what behaviours are expected—so they can live happily in our world.

Puppy

Just brought home a pup? Set them up for success with early socialisation, basic skills, and the start of a strong bond with you.

Reactive

Does your dog bark, lunge, or struggle around others? We support dogs who find the world a bit overwhelming—with understanding, not punishment.

Scenthound

Engage your dog’s natural instincts! Scenthound is a fun and enriching way to build focus and confidence through scentwork.
