Perfect for all dogs…we’ll meet you where you’re at!

All of our programs are done as one-on-one lessons at your home or around town, so that you can get the individual attention you need.

The biggest difference between the programs is that the larger ones allow you to get results faster.

 

  • We do the hard work for you by working with your dog 1-on-1 in jumpstart training to escalate their progress. The more time we get to spend with your dog, the faster your dog will be reliably listening in a variety of situations so you have more freedom to do things with them. People are astonished at the change around they see in their dog after the jump start.

  • The larger programs also have more long-term support after the program ends for your peace of mind

#1

Imagine being able to have people over and know your dog won’t jump all over them! Or actually being able to enjoy your dog when you get home from work.

Home Foundations

Right now you’re hesitant to invite people over because you hate the way your dog jumps on them like crazy when they arrive. You’ve tried to tell them to stay down, but it just isn’t working.

No more having to do embarrassing antics to get your dog to stop. It doesn’t have to be!

They’ll go to their bed and stay when you asked them to, so that they don’t get under your feet or bowl the kids over.

Does your dog dash out of the door so that you’re scared they’re going to run into the street and get hurt? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if they always waited for you to tell them when they may go out or not.

You just really want to be able to have a peaceful experience at home with your dog.

No more stressing that if you leave food out your dog will try and steal it, or having to put them outside every single time you want to vacuum. No having to body block your dog from running out to greet guests, and no more jumping and getting under your feet!

This program is typically completed in about 6 weeks and includes: 

  • 1 Accelerate Training session where the trainer will work 1:1 with your dog to escalate their progress.
  • House, People and Door Manners so that you don’t feel out of control at home anymore
  • Reliability at home
  • All recommended equipment included
  • Access to 3 months of text/email/phone support after the program ends should a question come up in the future

 

#2

Imagine going to a café with a dog that makes everyone envious! Or walking around the block and knowing your dog will be happy to stay close and NOT pull!

Super Dog

 

Is your dog pretty good most of the time, but just won’t stay calm when guests come over or when you want to take them to the café?

On walks they pull your arm off trying to get to every smell, and you don’t dare take them anywhere busy because you know they will try to rush up to say hello to every person they see.

Would you love a dog that is instead easy to walk, even on busy streets, happy to go at your pace, trotting by your side and ignoring all the action around them? You can go to the café and have your dog stay calm.

It’s like your dog’s favourite thing to do is listen to you!

When people come over your dog doesn’t jump and act like a tornado, and when you want to go somewhere, your dog happily gets into the car, and stays when you open the door to let them out, rather than dashing away before you have a chance to grab them.

You can have your dog out on the front lawn with you and know they won’t get overexcited and try to rush into the road, but rather they’ll stick around and relax with you.

Everyone is super impressed by your relaxed, easy dog, and you can be proud of them at home and in public as well!

This popular program gives you the freedom to enjoy your dog more often and in more places! You can go to the oval, walk down a busy street, or sit outside a cafe and still have your dog pay attention to you.

This program is typically completed in about 8 weeks and includes:

  • Admission to the pre-lessons FUNdamentals Course Basic Level so you can start getting help with your struggles, and be fully prepared for in-person training later on.
  • 2 Accelerate Training sessions where the trainer will work 1:1 with your dog so that you have to do less of the hard work, and you will get better results!
  • House, People and Door Manners so that you don’t feel out of control because of your dog’s pushy behaviour at home
  • Listening on Leash Walks and Staying Calm Out and About so that you can enjoy walking your dog, enjoy going to cafés or restaurants and know your dog will stay close to you and listen.
  • On Lead Reliability around distractions
  • Field trips around town so that your dog learns to listen around distractions like people and smells
  • All recommended equipment included
  • Access to 3 months of In-Person support after the program ends so you can get the best results possible


#3

This program is perfect for you if you want the absolute best training experience.
You’ll be able to trust your dog enough to let them off lead around absolutely anything and know they will be calm and listen even around distractions and things that excite them.

Dream Dog

(Our Most Popular Program!)

When you got a dog, you dreamed of taking them everywhere with you. You wanted to go for blissful walks on the beautiful Great Southern beaches and take them into town for a relaxing cup of coffee on a Saturday morning.

 Instead, you find yourself avoiding taking your dog anywhere busy because they get way too excited and they refuse to listen if you take them to the beach. They rush into the dunes or dash off to say hello to another dog and it takes you half an hour to just get them back.

What if instead you could trust them to respond to you no matter what and even off the lead (which is awesome because your dog is off lead 90% of the time anyway!)

 Do you feel stressed at the very thought of taking your dog for walks because they overreact or get excited if they see another dog and lunge and whine. You feel embarrassed because you’re not able to control them.

 Wouldn’t it be amazing if they learned that not everything is their business so that they just relax!

 Your dog is excitable or maybe even anxious at home and out and you feel stuck because you don’t know how to calm them. None of this has to be! Even your crazy pup can learn to chill and let you take care of things.

 At home, in town, at the beach, in the bush, on a walk around your block and around other dogs, your dog is happy to ignore everything going on around them and focus on you.

 Do you want the peace of mind to know that everything you need for your dog’s training is covered – from now on?

Maybe you feel like you’ve tried everything. Well, not all dog training is the same, but this program will give you everything you need so that owning your dog will be easy and relaxing.

 We’ve got you covered with LIFETIME IN-PERSON SUPPORT! It’s like having insurance for your dog’s behaviour! We’re here for you – FROM NOW ON.

 

This program is typically completed within 3 months and includes everything in Super Dog PLUS:

  • Admission to the pre-lessons FUNdamentals Course Comprehensive Level so you can immediately start resolving your frustrations and struggles. That means you will be able to enjoy your dog sooner!
  • 4 Accelerate Training sessions where the trainer will work 1:1 with your dog so that you have to do less of the hard work, and you will get better results!
  • Solving ALL Your Dog Training Problems so that you don’t have to worry any more

  • Exclusive access to lessons with our Helper Dog so that your dog can learn to be calm and confident around other dogs. No more stress or embarrassment because your dog is reacting to other dogs.

 

  • Access to Lifetime In-Person Support. If you ever need some polishing up or a new problem pops up later, we’ll get together for another lesson.

No more barking and lunging at other dogs!

We are so glad we signed up with Frances for help…Maiya did not like to see other dogs when we walked and would often react by lunging and barking at them, Frances has shown us very effective techniques to teach Maiya that other dogs are OK.

She is a wonderful dog trainer and I would highly recommend her if you are needing help with your best friends behaviour.

Our programs are designed to address not just obedience commands, but behaviour issues as well.

All of our programs are customisable because we realise that not every dog is the same, and may not fit into one of our programs exactly as they are.

All of our programs include the popular bonus of unlimited support during the course of the program, should you ever have a question or struggle!

All of the programs aim at getting a high level of results from your dog’s training – that’s why for some, we will give you extra support to achieve your goals!

All of our training programs are built to work the first time! We use proven methods adjusted to fit your dog, your needs and your lifestyle – so that it is effective!

FAQs

Will the programs work for adult dogs AND puppies?

Yes – absolutely! Because we personalise all of our training to fit you and your dog, the training will work to resolve the things you’re struggling with regardless of your dog’s age, size or breed!

What if my dog is a perfectly good dog, but just seems stressed out all the time?

We’ve got you covered there too! We offer a specialised approach for dogs that react to other dogs, are protective of their people, or have obsessive behaviours. The method we use will gently show your dog that they don’t need to worry any more! That way they can be calm and listen to you.
