Dog training in Auckland

OUR APPROACH

DIVE DEEPER INTO Training

Understanding our approach to creating lasting behavioural change through relationship-based training methods

OUR PHILOSOPHY

LOOK NO OTHER PLACE

We are constantly improving our service and training methods that align with the industry and science. We want to ensure that it's the dog in front of us that is getting trained, not a replica of the last.

"There is not one way to train a dog. You train the dog in front of you and keep an open mind"

— Tāne Hodgson, Head Trainer

Relationship First

Building trust and understanding between you and your dog is the foundation of effective training.

Individualised Approach

Every dog is unique. We tailor our methods to suit your dog's personality, breed and specific needs.

Science-Backed

Our methods are grounded in the latest research in canine behaviour and learning theory.

HOW IT WORKS

OUR TRAINING PROCESS

A systematic approach to lasting behavioural change

01

Initial Consultation

We start by understanding your dog's history, behaviour patterns and your training goals through a comprehensive assessment.

02

Customised Training Plan

Based on the assessment, we design a training programme specifically tailored to your dog's needs and your lifestyle.

03

Hands-On Training

We work directly with you and your dog, teaching both of you the skills needed for success through practical, real-world scenarios.

04

Ongoing Support

Training doesn't stop after the sessions. We provide continued guidance to ensure long-term success and address any new challenges.

MODERN TRAINING

WHAT DOES OWNING A DOG LOOK LIKE IN THE MODERN WORLD

We're constantly striving to have the best-behaved dog that does everything with us while maintaining their own personality. This goal sounds great and is definitely achievable. A plan needs to be made to map out how we are going to reach these achievements.

Over the last 20 years, the dog training industry has changed the way we approach training and tailor the training sessions for the dog in front of us. The idea that every dog learns the same can be true, but the majority of them will learn slightly differently. Understanding this will help anyone approach dog training with an open mind.

We now want to see dog training as a partnership where you both learn from each other and are constantly making the other one a better version of themselves.

"A team is better when you are on the same level and are moving in the same direction"
