Ryan is a highly qualified and accredited dog trainer with years of experience in the field.

Our puppy classes are designed to give your little buddy the best start in life. Not only will we cover the big topics of puppyhood including
🐶 Puppy Biting & Chewing – Teaching safe play and bite inhibition
🚽 Toilet Training – Helping your pup build reliable toilet habits
🐾 Socialisation – Positive experiences with new people, dogs, and environments
🐕 Lead Walking – Preventing pulling before it becomes a habit
📣 Recall Training – Teaching your pup to come back when called
🙌 Jumping Up & Stealing – Encouraging polite interactions
💡 We always take the time to ask our class what challenges they’re facing so we can tailor the course to your specific needs—ensuring you and your puppy get the most out of each session.

We are positive reinforcement trainers. Therefore, punishment-based tools are prohibited at our training sessions. This includes electric or prong collars, correction sprays, and constricting no-pull harnesses.

Other Dogs
We request that you keep at least a 2-meter distance from other dogs for two reasons:
-
Another dog may be nervous and prefer not to interact.
-
Dog interactions can be so exciting that it might be difficult to regain their attention for the training exercises.
-
If appropriate, there will be an opportunity for managed greetings and play with other dogs, throughout the course.

Bronnie and I absolutely loved our training class.... I can't believe how fast she has responded,
I can't recommend Ryan enough,
Lynne Waldron
From having a shy puppy , in 4 weeks , we have a more confident one . Both Ryan and Kelly are patient and so kind.

It's not just the dogs that learn from Ryan it's also the owners. He's taught me how the things we do and say can give the dogs the wrong signals.
