Dog Training That Fits South Yarra Lifestyles

Living in South Yarra often means apartment life, off-lead parks, cafés, and daily walks through busy streets. That’s why our programs are built to help your dog succeed in real-world environments—not just the classroom.

Puppy School & Early Socialisation

Our puppy schools & puppy training classes help set the foundation for confident, well-adjusted adult dogs. Designed for pups aged 8–16 weeks, we cover toilet training, mouthing, recall, socialisation, and more—all in a safe, supportive environment with expert guidance.

Adolescent Dog Training

Teen dogs can be a handful. Our adolescent and dog behaviour training is made for pups aged 4–18 months who are pushing boundaries, jumping up, pulling on lead, or losing focus. We help you regain calm and build better habits, one step at a time.

Obedience Training & Everyday Manners

Our obedience training for dogs teaches how to walk nicely on lead, respond to commands, settle around distractions, and greet politely. Whether you’re training in a group or privately, we focus on calmness, clarity, and confidence for both ends of the leash.

Behavioural Consultations

If your dog is struggling with reactivity, anxiety, aggression, barking, or separation distress, our one-on-one dog training sessions are here to help. We’ll meet you in your South Yarra home or at a nearby training area to assess behaviour and create a custom training plan.

NDIS Support Dog Programs

We work with NDIS participants to train support dogs, task-based assistance dogs, and companion animals. Our team offers individualised support for families, carers, and participants every step of the way.

South Yarra Dog Training FAQs

Do you offer private dog training in South Yarra?
Yes. We provide one-on-one training sessions in South Yarra, perfect for working on behaviour in real-world settings—like elevators, parks, front doors, or leash-heavy neighbourhood walks.

Where are your nearest dog training schools?
Albert Park and Caulfield are both within 10–20 minutes of South Yarra. These locations run weekly classes for all age groups and skill levels.

What’s the difference between puppy training and obedience classes?
Puppy school is for young dogs (8–16 weeks) and focuses on socialisation and foundation behaviours. Obedience training is for older dogs and includes skills like leash walking, stay, recall, and polite greetings.

Do you train reactive or anxious dogs?
Yes. Our trainers are experienced in handling reactivity, fear-based behaviours, and anxiety. We offer behavioural consultations to assess and work through complex cases at your pace.

Do you use punishment or dominance techniques?
Never. We use only force-free, positive reinforcement techniques based on behavioural science. No choke chains, prongs, shock devices, or alpha dominance approaches, just kind, effective training.

How long are sessions?
Group classes run 45–60 minutes. Private sessions are scheduled in 1-hour blocks and fully customised to your dog’s needs.

Can kids attend the training?
Yes! We encourage family involvement. Children are welcome in classes if they can stay calm and focused, and they’re especially welcome in private sessions.

How soon can we get started?
Private sessions can often be booked within 1–2 weeks. Group classes fill quickly, so we recommend booking early to reserve your spot.
