Behavioural consults are designed to assess and identify the underlying triggers contributing to your dog's unwanted behaviours. Whether it's aggression, leash reactivity, fearfulness, or typical young dog behaviours such as mouthing, jumping, digging or pulling on the leash, our qualified trainer and owner Rossella, will develop a personalised training plan and will assist you in applying the techniques needed to create positive behaviours from your dog. Through one on one sessions, you'll gain valuable insights to be able to fulfill your dog holistically, leading to a happier and more meaningful relationship with your dog.
Group classes are planned to recognise the dog's motivation and to utilise that to support your dog in finding value in you as the handler in control and create alternate behaviours. We work to build on the relationship and engagement between you and your dog to be able to communicate with each other when facing distractions. We achieve this through engagement exercises such as luring and games, from which we can build basic obedience commands for stability and reliability. Engagement exercises to build on your relationship and support your dog in finding value in you as the handler in control. To build on dogs' confidence, we expose them to a variety of stimuli such as objects, textures, other dogs and people encouraging them through positive experiences and progressing at the dog's pace. A strong focus is dedicated to guide you to understand, recognise and facilitate social behaviours in your dog during the guided interactions and play sessions. Learning body languages and the different signs will give you the confidence to monitor your dog's future interactions.
Rossella is an exceptional dog trainer and a joy to work with (Kevin, my Lab, would agree). I undertook both puppy and adolescent training and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the results. From the very first session, it was clear that Rossella possesses a unique combination of expertise, patience, and a genuine passion for dogs. She is able to tailor her training to meet the specific needs and personality of each dog (scared, boisterous, stubborn), and provided follow up notes after each session, to help you continue your training at home. I'm grateful for her sound training and advice, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services. From Google Review
Rossella was amazing! and the program exceeded our expectations. Loved that the classes are ran outdoors and Winston really benefited from being able to play/socialize with other puppies. Plus Rossella was great at tailoring the learning style to Winstons small stature 🙂 I have recommended the Basic's classes to some of my co-worker, keep up the great work you guys do!

Thank you so much Rossella. The guidance you gave at the puppies basics course was brilliant. It is obvious how much you care for the puppies and your skills and understanding of them is amazing. Louie and I have learned so much from you, and putting into practice your teachings has already, and will continue to, help us into the future. I'm sure we'll be in touch for further guidance and training :) From Google Review
