In-Home Dog Training Melbourne

A lot of people I work with have tried group classes, online videos, or another trainer. Sometimes it helped a bit, sometimes not—either way, it didn't stick long-term.

What's different here is that we work in your environment, on your actual walks, with a plan designed for your dog. Not a class or a facility—real behaviour change tends to happen where it matters.

If you're unsure whether this would work for your situation, book a call and I'll be honest about whether I think I can help.

Because behaviour issues don't happen in a training room—they happen on your walks, at your front door, and around the things that set your dog off. Training at a facility often doesn't carry over to real life.

We start where your dog feels safe, then work in the actual places where problems occur. That's how the results stick.

Calm Walk can move quickly for some dogs and handlers, while others need longer depending on history, consistency, and how your dog responds. Trigger Control runs 2–3 months depending on your dog's history and how consistently you practice between sessions. Full Reset is a 3-week minimum intensive stay. Day Training happens daily until we hit your goals.

If your dog needs additional work beyond the typical range, we'll discuss that in the first session—no surprises. The guarantee covers you either way.

You're never left guessing. All programmes include WhatsApp support—so when something comes up on a Tuesday afternoon, you can text me and get help in real-time, not at next week's session. If something goes wrong or you hit a plateau, you reach out immediately instead of waiting a week and losing progress.

For Day Training, you get daily video updates showing exactly what we worked on. For Full Reset, regular videos so you see the transformation happening. When your dog comes back to you, handover sessions make sure you know exactly how to maintain everything.

We have a results guarantee. If you complete the programme, follow the plan, and don't see measurable improvement, you get 2 additional sessions at no cost. Still not satisfied after that? Full refund.

I only take on dogs I believe I can help. If I don't think I can make a difference in your situation, I'll tell you upfront—before you spend anything. Have a chat with me and I'll explain how it works.

Calm Walk starts at $750. Reactive programmes start at $1,800. Full Reset is $3,000+. Day Training runs $120–$150 per day.

For context, a vet behaviourist consult typically runs $200–$350 for assessment alone, without any hands-on training. Our programmes include the assessment, training sessions, and ongoing support between sessions.

The best way to get a clear picture is to book a consultation so I can understand what your dog actually needs.

If your main goal is better walks, Calm Walk is the walking-focused option. It covers loose-lead walking, engagement, and handler skills at your home and on your usual walking routes.

If your dog is reactive around dogs, people, or movement, and you need work beyond walking mechanics, Trigger Control is the better fit. It focuses on behaviour modification with work on emotional control and real-world handling.

Multiple issues at once? Full Reset. If you can't fit daily training practice into your schedule, Day Training might suit better.

Not sure which one fits? That's what the free consultation is for.

Book a call and we can figure out the best fit together.
