I only use Positive Reinforcement Training. I firmly believe that our dogs want to do all that we ask of them but generally us humans don't know how to communicate well with our dogs leading to misunderstanding, mixed signals etc. I work to improve the relationships between dogs and their humans so that everyone is happy in the relationship.

Ronelle was a lovely lady who very quickly formed an amazing bond with our dog, with no time wasted she was quick to get the ball rolling and even managed to get him to start listening to basic commands within the first hour, ( he’s a very stubborn pup)
Ronelle is very reliable and often takes our pup out for walks, she definitely puts 100% into her work. We would definitely recommend!

Lynn was great with our wee jack russell. She gave us lots of advice and things to try to calm him down. Scrappy is doing well, and has gone an entire week without being destructive or having any accidents when left alone! That is a first!!

Best dog trainer that I have ever met. Her methods of dog training are extremely effective and gentle, also useful. As a member of the Junior and puppy classes she makes it easy to train my puppy which is really hard as she is food obsessed! The classes have a really good environment and fun with all the activities like distraction ally and obstacle course. I highly recommend the classes as they are great quality at a great price.

We have a four year old rescue dog who was excellent in the house but almost impossible to take for a walk. He's quite a large dog and is strong he would pull constantly especially if he saw another dog. I contacted Jenny who showed us what to do with the use of clicker training and the dogmatic collar it's like walking a completely different dog and walks are now enjoyable. I would highly recommend Jenny.

I highly recommend PTT to anyone wanting to reduce the stress of walking a reactive dog. My Jack Russell, Wally, is 7 years old and walking him is a bit of a nightmare - Natalie at PTT is really helping us work together and Wally is so much more relaxed when on a walk, after only 3 sessions. After the first one I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with information, but Natalie sent me some notes on what we had covered, and then at the next session we improved the techniques.
It is a completely positive experience, and Wally really enjoys it too. We still have a way to go, but it give me hope that he will soon have learnt how to be out and about, and a normal dog enjoying his walks, rather than always looking for the next dog to get worked up about.
I think the service and knowledge is very good value for money, the sessions are tailored to your needs, and it's also great to see that Natalie genuinely loves dogs. She is super friendly and I don't feel silly if I make mistakes!

So we moved to Melbourne, Australia almost 4 months ago however our Staffie cross collie dog (Zebadee) was not allowed to fly for another 3 months after us. This left us in a difficult position as nobody in the family could have him and kennels are not suitable for longterm boarding.
Zebadee wasn't the most well behaved dog in the world. More like a spoilt child with a few behavioural issues with smaller submissive dogs. He sat on sofas (and destroyed one in the past) chews kiddie toys. That sort of thing!
A friend who had a rescue (also with a few behavioural issues) recommended Laura and Ben and from the moment myself and Zebadee visited them, we knew it would be the right place.
Laura regularly sent updates of how Zebadee was doing. She create trained him so a) the journey would be easier for him and b) we could give him a secure start in a new home with new boundaries. She took him to the vets and helped manage the process of ensuring he had all the right jabs as needed to fly here taking a lot of stress and worry away. It was clear to see from the updates that zeb was happy, safe and cared for. He really enjoyed his stay with Laura and Ben. So much so we were worried he wouldn't be happy to see us.
Today we collected Zebadee!!! Once we got zeb home he ran around like a crazy dog and much to our relief, he was really happy to see us. But once the euphoria of seeing me, Tess and our 2 year old daughter Jaime wore off. He went to his new create and had some quiet time. He hasnt jumped on any sofas and after a trip to the park today, he has socialised with tonnes of dogs and I must say is a different dog (in all the good ways) to the one we left in the UK.
From myself, Tess, Jaime and most of all Zebadee... Thank You so much for the training, care and importantly the love you have shown Zeb. Its been so reassuring knowing hes been looked after and we would recommend anyone for training and boarding. Good luck with the baby and wedding!!! We send our love and wishes all the way from Melbourne. We cannot thank you enough!

Why should I get a Dog Trainer?
Making sure your pup is trained properly really matters. Without the necessary groundwork, you’re risking your dog’s wellness and security, as well as the safety of any other dogs it comes into contact with. It’s also important your dog is trained so that it can integrate properly with you and your family. Keeping it out of trouble will save you a lot of hassle (and potentially costly repairs too).
Making sure your dog listens to commands is very important. Not only will handling it be less stressful, but it can stop dangerous conflict with other animals. Furthermore, if your dog doesn’t want to listen to you, situations such as dealing with traffic can potentially become fatal. On the upside, having a well-trained pup enables you and your pet to socialise properly with other dogs and their owners.
Having a dog that is obedient means that life around the home becomes plain sailing. With good manners, your dog will be able to tell the difference between right and wrong behaviour, while being able to foster good relationships with other members of your family. These connections can help to build a fruitful relationship with your pet as part of the family. Time well spent together will allow you to both grow together, sharing experiences and creating the type of memories that make having a pet so worth it.
How about becoming an authority figure yourself? Although your trainer will help your dog get up to scratch, they will also teach you a great deal about the fundamentals of dog training. This includes not only how to handle your own dog, but principals that you can use to understand and better interact with other dogs too. Being able to help out less-informed dog owners can be a wonderful gift to have, and something that you can take further if you enjoy it.
Having a well-trained dog also means that taking your pet to the veterinarian will be a lot easier than it would be otherwise. Considering the nature and volume of work that they have to do, being a vet is tough, let alone dealing with an uncooperative pet in their surgery. In some cases, dogs can become violent when approached by a vet – definitely something they don’t need. By having your dog properly trained, you can avoid injuries – for both your dog and your vet – as well as unnecessary embarrassment upon visits.
How do I pick a Dog Trainer?
When hiring someone to train your dog, there is plenty to think about. The needs of both you and your pet have to be considered and so taking some time to sit down and work out what is important to you is a must. Down below are a few of the questions you might ask when it comes to finding the right dog trainer –
Should I go for group or private training? Each comes with pros and cons – those with a brand new dog can expect their pet to socialise and start to develop relationships with other dogs.
Does my dog need generalised training or would training in a specific area suit it better? One example of this is if your dog has an issue with barking, or separation anxiety. In these cases, someone that can specialise in tackling these issues would be optimal.
Do I need long-term training or do I need a quick fix? Goals such as conditioning your dog for agility or developing a routine will need more time with a trainer.
You should also take care to see what type of strategies your trainer uses. There are a wide variety of techniques that can be applied in order to change your dog’s behaviour – but not all of these involve kindness and care. It’s good to talk to prospective trainers about the ways in which they choose to teach your dog, including methods of both discipline and praise. Techniques such as positive reinforcement are very beneficial for dogs and are particularly powerful, while being enjoyable for them.
While your dog is your priority, how you communicate with your trainer is important too. Your trainer’s should be able to translate their understanding into constructive advice. A good trainer can tell you both what is working in terms of training your dog, and what isn’t. This includes passing on insights of what to do to correct certain issues, while conveying these ideas in a constructive, friendly way. In order to do this, a trainer needs to not only be able to express themselves clearly, but also be diplomatic and observant.
How much does a Dog Trainer cost?
There are various ways in which you can choose to train your dog. Some owners opt for private lessons, while others will put their dog through group daycare.
Group sessions are valuable not only because they are more budget friendly, but also because they are better as a long-term option. This is because your pet will have time to get to grips with a wider variety of commands. However one-on-one training provides your dog with lessons that are specially tailored to their needs, helping them learn in the best way for them.
There are also the various levels of obedience training to take into account. As well as classes specifically for puppies, there are basic educational classes, adult training, agility and advanced tutoring. Which of these you go for can affect pricing, as well as how quickly your dog learns (depending on its needs and comprehension).
Can I hire a Dog Trainer online?
Yes! You might be surprised to hear that dog training can be done remotely, through online video platforms like Zoom. They can take the form of group sessions or one-to-one classes to tackle certain individual behavioural issues. Many customers prefer online dog training for all sorts of reasons, like saving on travel time and costs.
