Private Consults

We believe that dogs rely on the structure that we provide for them. They need it to live in our world properly and successfully and to be part of our every day life without issues. 

We can help you navigate rules, obedience and structure to create an awesome relationship with your dog in and out of the house. We aim to coach, support and help you make your dog become the companion you always wanted him to be.

​

We are located in Stanmore Bay on the Hibiscus Coast in New Zealand. We service surrounding suburbs such as Silverdale, Orewa, Whangaparaoa, the North Shore and Rodney district council including Kaukapakapa, Warkworth and Snells Beach.

Training Videos

Loose Lead Walking with Elderly Shih Tzu's
Old dogs can still learn new tricks! These two pups are already seniors. They used to bark a lot and there was a lot of pulling going on. We changed equipment and changed the rules of the walk to get some improvement right in the first session. 
Charlie the Boston Terrier
We worked with Charlie for 3 sessions to improve his loose lead walking and to add strategies to create a calmer attitude when going on a walk.
Door manners with Tommy
We introduced door manners to Tommy to avoid him running out after his mum and dad right onto the road. It's important a dog learns that an open door doesn't mean you can just walk straight out. 
Dobby the Puggle
Dobby started with us with a puppy/deluxe package. We worked on the foundation skills all young dogs need. 
In this video we are working on the place command. 
Recall with Frankie
Frankie's owners got us in as he couldn't be allowed off lead without him running off. We spend time on games, engagement, and working on the long line to create a good foundation for recall. 
Socialisation with Bella & Zelda
Bella's owners got us in on a deluxe/puppy package. We worked on a bunch of basic obedience and puppy behaviours. In the last session I brought Zelda along to work on some socialisation as Bella didn't have all her vaccinations yet to go meet other dogs.
It's super important for puppies to learn play from a polite adult dog. Zelda is a champ in teaching puppies manners as she is very ble at correcting inappropriate behaviour but is also very good herself at calming signals and building confidence in a young dog.
10 year old Millie's reactivity
Millie is a 10 year old Spitz with a long, long history of reactivity. Her owner had tried medication and a vet behaviourist without any results. 

She got out a few times and went after some dogs. 

We worked on Millie's reactivity by adjusting a few things in the house, owners confidence and a lot of counter conditioning with several dogs teaching her that blowing up and going after dogs is not an option. In this video you see Millie with Tegan & Toc having a parallel walk without any issues.
