I’m sure this company works well for a lot of dog owners. Unfortunately after using them my dog went down a bad path with their services. Dog training is not one size fits all. And they are very close minded and opinionated. And my dog would have been put down if I continued listening and doing what they told me. My dog has had professional training elsewhere to rehabilitate the issues she developed after using this company. And is absolutely amazing now. Please be open minded about what your dog needs and what is best for your relationship with your dog. It may very well not be this company. More...

I have been working with Jade and she as managed to calm both me and my 18 month over zealous Cavoodle. Xena was stressed out after some hospitalisation but she has calmed right down and I am learning to keep her arousal levels at a more sensible level.

I had a very informative and affirmative session with Ian. I have a very anxious and fearful 9 year old rescued Kelpie (not my first). I struggle with how swiftly she go to a highly anxious state. I think Ian helped me understand how awful it is for my dog to be fearful and anxious 24/7. Understand more about the physiological make up of dogs brains really helped. I received a comprehensive report of our session and again this has helped me help my dog. Wouldn’t hesitate recommending Bondi Behaviourist. More...

BB have been an immense support to me & my rescue dog during my first year of adopting her. Initially I invested in a behavioural consult to educate myself on what my individual pooch specifically needed. It gave me an awareness of how to handle a highly sensitive & hyper vigilant, part working dog in an urban environment. I thoroughly appreciated learning about the latest in canine psychology, considerably different to the good old days! I then arranged regular training sessions with two of the BB team. They were honest, calm & sensitive to our unique situation. Recommend these remarkable human beings, lovers of our four legged friends any day. Definitely value for money, they certainly deliver quality. Thanks again Iyona, Jade and Ian. More...

We just had our first consult with Ian and he was great! He listened to our concerns and immediately suggested that the medication our dog is on could be a part of the reason for her behaviour problems. He was honest and understanding and we look forward to having a follow up with Ian after we get Rocky's medication checked out :) thanks Ian! More...

First call done with Ian and I am looking forward to putting all his advice into action. We are scheduled to have our next catch up in 2 weeks. Ian was incredibly informative, helpful, honest and direct about what types of actions and activities I need to do with my dog who is currently over stimulated on his walks. Clearly very experienced with dog training (or shall I say training the humans hehe!) I highly recommend these group of specialists. More...

Ian was a major part of us learning how to help our anxious, reactive and hyperactive young Doberman slow down, think more and relax. The improvements in her behaviour as a result have been huge, both at home and in public. It’s awesome for us that we can enjoy being with her even more than before Ian’s help and great to know she is much happier with her life! (Photo of her falling asleep today at our local cafe where a year ago she’d have been stressed on very high alert!) More...

We currently have an American Staffy who suffers from separation anxiety and was showing aggression towards other dogs. After trying a number of things, we contacted Ian who has been a revelation for our dog. His practical solutions and advice have led to a much happier and less stressed dog. I would not hesitate to recommend Ian & Bondi Behaviourist to anyone. More...
