Professional Dog Training Melbourne
ABOUT ME
With over a decade of experience.
I've trained thousands of dogs/puppies, both nationally and internationally. Training dogs from all behavioural backgrounds into calm, loving and well-mannered family members.
Hi, I'm Tom!
I understand the unique, yet diverse temperament of dogs and go above and beyond to train your dog based upon;
-
His/her individual character
-
Traits based on breed
-
Drives/motivations
-
What excites/calms your dog
I use the answers to these questions and others to create a custom training plan to meet the goals you have for your dog.
"Just like people, all dogs are unique.
Whether it's a pint sized Chihuahua or an 80kg Great Dane, each dog has a different approach to learning new skills and behaviours."
SERVICES
Dogs have different personality types and temperaments.
Each requires a variation in training methods that is as unique as the dog itself.
Information in books and websites can be overwhelming, misleading, and simply confusing. That’s why, unlike traditional training, Tom will customise each plan designed specifically for your dog. All sessions with Tom are in and around your home in your dog's realistic environment.
PUPPY TRAINING
The first six months of a puppy's life are a developmentally critical phase.
It’s a vital time for him or her to learn how to behave in your home and in the world.
There are things you can do to help your puppy become a confident, secure and happy adult, and remember, preventing unwanted behaviours early on is far less work than behaviour modification later in life. Things we will cover in your session will be;
-
Toilet training
-
Puppy obedience
-
Show you how to manage biting, jumping and chewing
-
Establish boundaries and routines inside and outside your home
-
How to stop barking and scratching at doors
-
How to walk your puppy correctly
-
How to socialise your puppy correctly and condition them to their new environment
DOG TRAINING
Proper dog training can be the difference in an asset or liability with your four legged friend.
I can cover any topics/ issues that you may be experiencing with your dog including
-
Pulling on the lead
-
Jumping on guests
-
Counter surfing
-
Destructive behaviour
-
Excessive barking
-
Boundaries inside and around your home

BREED SELECTION
Every dog breed is predisposed to specific behavioural traits and characteristics; even mixed breeds exhibit them. Why not enlist a professional to facilitate this important decision that greatly impacts your life for years to come?
During our consultation we discuss your lifestyle, likes and dislikes, family makeup and other topics to find a pet that best suits your needs.
