Frequently Asked Questions
  • How long does training typically take?

    Every dog is different, but most clients see significant improvement within 3-5 sessions. Complex behavioral issues may require more time and consistency.

  • What training methods do you use?

    We use positive reinforcement techniques that focus on rewarding good behaviour rather than punishing unwanted behaviour. This builds trust and confidence in anxious dogs.

  • Is my dog too old to be trained?

    No dog is too old to learn! While puppies may learn some things more quickly, adult and senior dogs can absolutely learn new behaviors and overcome anxiety issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

What behaviours can you help fix with in-home dog training?
We help resolve a wide range of behavioural issues including aggression, anxiety, fearfulness, barking, cowering, resource guarding, jumping, nipping, separation anxiety, and more. All methods are gentle and science-backed.
Do you use positive reinforcement training?
Yes. Our training is based on positive reinforcement using praise, treats, and rewards to encourage desirable behaviour. We never use punishment, force, or fear-based techniques.
Can you help with dog-to-dog aggression?
Absolutely. We work with dogs that react aggressively to other dogs, whether it's on-lead reactivity or issues at home. Our approach focuses on desensitisation, redirection, and confidence-building.
How do you treat separation anxiety in dogs?
Separation anxiety in dogs?
 We create a step-by-step desensitisation plan that helps your dog gradually tolerate time alone. This is done by building positive associations and emotional resilience.
What’s resource guarding and how do you treat it?
Resource guarding is when a dog becomes possessive over food, toys, or spaces. We address it by changing how your dog perceives sharing and by building trust and predictability.
Can you help with dogs that bark excessively or whimper constantly?
Yes. We identify what’s triggering the behaviour such as boredom, anxiety, or fear and use calm, consistent reinforcement to encourage quieter, more relaxed behaviour.
What if my dog is scared of strangers or new environments?
We work in your dog’s comfort zone, which is usually your home, and help them build confidence using desensitisation and gradual exposure at a safe pace.
Can you help with hyperactive or jumpy dogs?
Yes. Many dogs jump due to excitement or lack of impulse control. Our training includes focus work, calm greeting routines, and structured daily activities to reduce overstimulation.
What if my dog nips or bites?
Nipping and biting can come from fear, overstimulation, or unclear boundaries. We teach bite inhibition, gentle redirection, and promote calm, safe behaviour.
Do you work with rescue or traumatised dogs?
Yes. We specialise in helping anxious and fearful dogs, including rescues. We build trust through gentle, respectful steps without pushing your dog too far too fast.
How many sessions will my dog need?
It depends on your dog's behaviour and goals. Some clients see changes after just one or two sessions, while others benefit from a short training series.
Will I need to do homework between sessions?
Yes. You’ll receive clear and simple training exercises to practise. The more consistent you are at home, the faster your dog will improve.
Do you offer training for puppies showing early signs of anxiety?
Yes. Early support can prevent bigger issues down the track. We’ll help your puppy develop calm confidence and healthy social behaviours.
Is positive reinforcement effective for aggressive dogs?
Yes. When used properly, it helps aggressive dogs learn better coping strategies and build trust. We focus on rewarding calm, safe behaviour without reinforcing the aggression itself.
Will training take place inside my home or outside?
We usually begin inside your home where your dog feels safe. Depending on the issue, we may work in your yard or on nearby walks as progress is made.
Do you train using prong collars, e-collars, or dominance methods?
No. We use only positive, humane techniques. We do not use correction collars, intimidation, or outdated dominance-based approaches.
Can multiple dogs in the same household be trained?
Yes. We work with households that have multiple dogs and can train them together or separately based on their individual needs.
Will you train me as well, or just my dog?
We train both. Owner involvement is essential to long-term success. You'll learn how to apply all the techniques with confidence.
What if my dog’s behaviour gets worse before it gets better?
Some regression is normal during the training process. But we’re very confident in our technique and that's why we include unlimited phone support after your sessions so you're never stuck without help.
How do I get started?
Simply fill out our contact form to request your free behaviour assessment. We'll reach out to learn more about your dog and arrange a time that suits you.
