Do you love your dog but are at your wits end?
I absolutely love dogs and have worked with hundreds of breeds, shapes, sizes, temperaments, ages and abilities over the years. It's because I love dogs so much, that I want to help both dogs and their humans to better comminicate with each other.

I am so pleased that we had Tanya come and teach us the 5 Golden Rules. The dogs and I are a lot less stressed. No more yelling at the dog to stop barking. It has really changed my whole mindset and given me the confidence to deal with my rambunctous Rotti and anxious Amstaff. The ongoing support is also really helpful. Tanya is excellent at her job. Can highly recommend her 👌 More...

We have a rescue puppy who at 8 months old had anxiety, jumping nipping and othe behaviours that we were struggling to deal with. Tanya came to our home and after learning more about what we could do, we have put in the hard work and wow what a difference it has made. We have a calmer Lola, the jumping and nipping is so much better and we are now beginning to enjoy our puppy. She looks so much more relaxed and is enjoying her food, her walks and her training is improved. I feel proud when people meet her and come to our home. Thankyou Tanya for your patience and teaching, it has changed our life. More...

WOW… what a difference a day makes.
What a difference Tanya makes.
Tanya certainly knows her stuff and certainly knows how to pass on all her knowledge and experience.
My Jazzy is a re-homed dog and I called on Tanya for some advice with regard to a couple of her little quirks.
Tanya very quickly (and literally) had Jazzy eating out of her hand.
We have put things into practice and Jazzy is responding beautifully.
Yes… what a difference Tanya makes!!!

If I could rate Tania 100/5 stars I would, I honestly couldn’t speak more highly of her training. Her techniques worked almost immediately on our dogs (frenchie and pug), and the easy to follow steps makes it very easy to follow. Thanks again Tania!
Rhiannon James
My dog is 3 years old with no previous training, she was constantly barking and jumping at the fences and we had the ranger called multiple times. I had Tanya out and the first night the barking had almost completely diminished, now a month later i can take my dog for walks without being dragged, i havent had a complaint in weeks and my dog is overall so much happier. 10/10 recommend More...

Tanya exemplifies pack leader energy, seeing my dogs immediate relaxed response to her was instant proof of the credibility of her approach. Tanya's style in sharing her information was warm, encouraging and confident. Tanya's follow up support was thorough in covering all aspects of the needs we had originally identified for my dog. I would wholeheartedly recommend getting in touch with Tanya to support your pack getting realigned!! More...

We are really happy that we chose Tanya at Calm Canines to help us with our dog. Our relationship with Honey 🐾 has improved significantly since we started to implement the simple rules.
She has calmed down a lot and we are more confident now that we know how to relate to her better (to achieve the results we want)! Tanya has stayed in touch and we appreciate knowing that we can reach out and contact her with our questions. Thanks Tanya, much appreciated.
Felicity, Michael and Honey 🐾

Tanya has totally changed our world (and that of our doggie!) We’ve learnt how to think like a dog and implement strategies to help her live her best life. We’ve still got some things to work on but we have the tools to do so. The support and encouragement from Tanya is amazing - every dog owner needs her! More...

Thanks Tanya, what a different dog already! I took Jaz for a walk late this afternoon and she walked on my left side on a loose leash and didn’t pull or run away at all!
Amazing after just a few hours of training!!
Thank you for your support and training (us humans need the training)!! It’s working already!!

What do you love most about your job?
I love helping dogs and their humans to communicate in a way which both can understand. Getting updates from people explaining their joy at experiencing immediate changes and a renewed relationship is truly rewarding.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I don't want people to waste their hard earned money on trainers, without first getting to bottom of WHY their dog is demonstrating unwanted behaviour. I also want to show people results can be acheived fast without fear, force nor aggression nor overly relying on treats or rewards
Why should our clients choose you?
I have hundreds of 5* reviews and love to share with people this very powerful and kind method.
Most trainers will give you the icing on the cake. This is the "training." I will give you the cake (the foundation) and the icing too, so you and your dog don't spend the rest of your days together training and training. We convince your dog they should want to listen and want to follow you first and then training becomes much easier.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I visit your home so that I can view your dog/s normal behaviour in their natural environment . This way I can also see how you interact with your dog. I don't do lessons in the park, because teaching them tricks in the park will not resolve your unique issues at home.
I can however offer the session via Zoom which still 100% works!
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
As I am self employed I rely on being fit and healthy to be able to continue to help dogs far and wide. For this reason I am 6 x vaxed and test regularly for Covid. I use hand sanitiser throughout the day as well as regular hand washing.
In home consultation
I visit you at your home. It's important I see your dog in their natural surroundings, see what their normal behaviour is like and how you interact with them.
The main thing we go through is how to make sure your dog understands that all of the humans are in charge.
This is the key bit. If we can get this bit right, the issues start to disappear and any training you do will have maximum effect.
It'll take around 2-3 hrs to go through all the rules of who's in charge. We'll go through things like 1. Feeding 2. How you respond to danger. 3. How you interact with your dog
And then we'll go through the training side of things. We'll address each issue as well as the standard bomb proof stay, bomb proof recall and leash walking.
I KNOW this method works and that's why I also stand by it with an additional 6 months ongoing telephone and email support.
I don't do lessons at the park because I CAN teach your dog tricks, but that's not going to help you get to the bottom of WHY your dog is not behaving the way you want them to.
It is helpful to know more about your dog before booking so please get in touch at ktr1965eagle@hotmail.com or by calling 0434 078 533
Board and Train
In addition to your 1/1 consultation I can board your dog at my home.
A minimum of 7 days is needed and you'll be given all the tools techniques and information needed to continue.
In most cases only a 1/1 home consultation is needed to change things. But, in extreme cases Board and Train can kick start things for you and pooch.
No e-collars or prong collars are used ever.
I will tailor the program to each individual dog.
They will be walked daily, trained, cuddled and are allowed inside.
