Our Dog Development Plan offers a balanced mix of enrichment activities aimed at improving your dog's mental and physical health.
Our Doggy Development Plan offers a hands-on approach to nurturing good habits and addressing challenges, ensuring your dog grows into a confident and well-mannered companion.
Our Dog Development Plan helps your dog learn good habits through practical training in your home. This comprehensive approach focuses on both mental and physical activities tailored to your dog's personality and needs.
The Dog Development Plan is a complete training package priced at $160, designed to address your specific concerns.
No two dogs are identical, which is why our training avoids generic approaches. We build our plan entirely around your dog's personality, behaviour patterns, and your specific goals as an owner.
During our initial consultation, we observe how your dog interacts with you and your home environment. This assessment helps us identify what motivates your dog and which training methods will be most effective.
Whether you need help with a dog that barks excessively, pulls on the lead, or shows signs of separation anxiety, we create strategies that address these specific concerns rather than applying cookie-cutter solutions.
Many dogs experience separation anxiety, exhibiting behaviours such as destructive chewing, excessive barking, or accidents indoors. Our dog training approach involves gradually desensitising your dog to departure cues like picking up keys or putting on shoes. Pairing departures with positive reinforcement techniques, such as special toys and favourite treats, helps build confidence and reduce anxiety.
Additionally, our trainers assist in establishing consistent routines and creating secure spaces where your dog can comfortably self-settle. Incorporating environmental enrichment activities and interactive toys ensures your dog remains occupied and calm when alone, effectively addressing the root cause of their anxiety.
Excessive barking can become problematic, despite being a natural form of dog communication. Our dog trainers identify specific triggers like visitors, noises, or other animals that prompt your dog's barking. With targeted dog training techniques, we teach alternative behaviours your dog can use instead of barking, promoting calm and controlled responses.
Our approach includes practical strategies to manage and minimise exposure to barking triggers during training. We also help establish consistency in household responses to barking, ensuring clear communication with your dog and fostering a quieter, more relaxed home environment.
Destructive behaviours, such as chewing furniture, digging in gardens, or damaging household items, often result from boredom, anxiety, or excessive energy. Through careful analysis, our dog trainers determine the underlying causes and timing of these unwanted behaviours, enabling customised interventions.
We redirect your dog's natural instincts by providing suitable chew toys, interactive activities, and designated spaces for behaviours like digging. Combined with proper supervision and enhanced physical and mental exercise routines, our methods significantly reduce destructive behaviours, contributing to a harmonious household.
Mental stimulation is essential for a dog's overall wellbeing, complementing physical exercise. Our dog training programmes include teaching new skills and commands to challenge your dog's problem-solving capabilities. Interactive food puzzles and treat-dispensing toys are tailored to your dog's skill level, encouraging cognitive engagement.
Scent-based games further utilise your dog's innate sniffing abilities, offering stimulating and rewarding experiences. Our structured training sessions and customised enrichment activities build your dog's confidence, effectively preventing anxiety and behavioural issues, particularly beneficial for intelligent and working dog breeds.
Adequate physical fitness is crucial for maintaining your dog's behavioural health. Initially, our trainers assess your dog's age, breed, health status, and lifestyle to create an appropriate, tailored exercise programme. We assist you in integrating this structured physical activity into your daily routine seamlessly.
Our recommendations encompass varied exercises targeting different muscle groups to maintain your dog's interest and physical condition. Guidance is provided to help you recognise the signs of healthy tiredness versus over-exercise. By combining physical workouts with mental stimulation, our approach ensures your dog achieves balanced overall health and wellbeing.
We understand that life is busy. Our Dog Development Plan is designed to integrate naturally into your existing routine rather than requiring you to make significant changes to accommodate training.
Our flexible scheduling allows for morning, afternoon, or evening sessions based on your availability. The training techniques we teach can be applied during regular daily activities, from feeding time to evening walks.
As your dog grows and develops, our support continues. We adjust our approach based on progress, ensuring that training evolves alongside your dog's changing needs.
Unlike basic command training, our Development Plan addresses the whole dog, combining behaviour training with mental and physical enrichment activities tailored to your dog's specific personality.
The Dog Development Plan is structured around your dog's specific needs and learning pace. We provide ongoing support to ensure lasting results rather than limiting the program to a set number of sessions.
Yes, puppies benefit greatly from early structured development. We adjust the activities to suit their age, attention span, and developmental stage.
We primarily use items already in your home, including your dog's favourite toys. Any additional recommended items will be simple and practical.
Most owners notice positive changes in their dog's behaviour within the first week of consistently applying our techniques. Long-term improvement builds steadily with continued practice.
