Private Dog Training in the Illawarra for Real-Life Manners
Training That Fits Your Life
– Not the Other Way Around
Do you wish you had a relaxed, reliable, and responsive dog — one you could take anywhere and confidently include in more of life’s adventures?
Life with your dog should feel joyful, but it’s not always easy.
Maybe your dog is great at home… until the real world happens. Suddenly they’re pulling toward other dogs, jumping on visitors, or acting like they’ve never heard “come” in their life. You’ve tried to fix it, but distractions win every time — and it’s frustrating.

That’s where private dog training comes in. With personalised, one-on-one lessons designed around your lifestyle, your goals, and your dog’s needs, we’ll build real-life manners, strengthen obedience skills, and create the everyday reliability you’ve been wishing for.
Whether you want easier walks, calmer greetings, better listening, or more confidence around distractions, I’ll help you bring out your dog’s best behaviour so you can enjoy more outings, more adventures, and more time together.
Basic Manners Package — $385
Your first step toward a relaxed, reliable, and responsive dog.
Instead of just “lessons,” you’ll get an immersive experience designed to make training click for both you and your dog. Together, we’ll lay the foundation for real-life manners, everyday obedience, and the kind of behaviour you can rely on at home and out in the real world.
You’ll experience:
-
A 90-minute kick-off session where we set clear goals, troubleshoot challenges, and start training right away.
-
Two 60-minute private coaching sessions so you know exactly how to guide your dog through everyday moments — from calm greetings to handling distractions.
-
A simple, personalised roadmap showing what to practise and when, so progress feels achievable, not overwhelming.
-
Live demonstrations and guided practice so you feel confident handling tricky situations as they happen.
-
Easy-to-follow tips and tools you can use immediately, whether I’m there or not.
The Basic Manners Package gives you the skills and momentum to see changes fast — and it’s designed so you can keep building on that progress with extra sessions if you want to take your dog’s training even further.
With a dog who listens the first time, greets calmly, and comes when called, you’ll enjoy more freedom, more confidence, and more adventures together. From relaxed family BBQs to beach days, farmers markets, and café catch-ups, your well-mannered dog becomes part of more of the moments that matter.
