our process
Why Dogaholics training works.
- Dogaholics identifies the underlying cause. Most unwanted behaviours are symptoms, not the problem itself. Barking, pulling, lunging, anxiety and reactivity often stem from underlying emotions, learning experiences and unmet needs. We take the time to understand what is driving your dog’s behaviour so we can address the cause, not just manage the symptoms.
- Dogaholics science based training. Using evidence-based behavioural science and positive kind reinforcement methods, we create a personalised training plan for your dog. By building new skills, confidence and emotional resilience, we help your dog learn better ways to respond to the world around them.
- Happy and confident lasting outcomes. When the underlying cause is understood and the right skills are developed, meaningful change becomes possible. The result is a calmer, more confident dog, clearer communication, a stronger relationship and practical behaviours that support a happier life together.
PUPPY SKILLS
Build strong foundations for everyday life
Private puppy training can focus on the skills most useful to your family, from toilet and crate training to lead walking, home-alone routines and calm greetings.
Sessions may also cover mouthing, chewing, barking, jumping up, handling, grooming, socialisation and desensitisation. Training can also support comfortable, appropriate behaviour around food, toys and other valued items.
Because training is one-to-one, the pace and focus can be adjusted as your puppy develops. You’ll learn practical ways to guide behaviour, reinforce progress and make training a positive part of everyday life.
