Good Manners Training (with owner)
This is available to owners who have participated in the training and have specific problems occurring at home they may need help with.
Although we cover good manner training in class it is sometimes necessary to do a home visit to tackle problems that are occurring around home. It is essential to see how the dog interacts with its owner at home - who is the 'boss'; what is the owner allowing the dog to do around home that may be causing the problems. We come to your home and show you how to put training into place to target the problem you are having and achieve a peaceful household. For example, set boundaries (gates, doors, kitchen, car) so they dont rush about which helps you gain more control of your dog but also calms the dog down; your dog calmly meets guests at the door or you when you come home; waits calmly for lead to be attached and walks out the door; settles while toddler is playing so the dog can be part of the family; prepare your dog for the arrival of a new baby into the home and many other situations.
2 hour session $155.00

Puppy Training In-Home
Pre-puppy visit
I offer a pre-puppy visit to help you set up for the arrival of your new puppy ensuring that your premises are secure; setting up puppy's sleeping arrangements; what equipment is required and what to do upon puppy's arrival.
1 hour session (approx) $100.00
Start of Puppy's training
I also offer puppy visits after puppy has arrived. The essential socialisation period for your puppy is up until 16/18 weeks. What your puppy experiences during this time can mould its personality into adulthood. Socialisation includes not just other dogs but people, objects, noises, surfaces, anything your dog will encounter in its life. Training your puppy starts the day it comes home. Setting boundaries and deciding what your puppy will be allowed to do when it is a fully grown dog and putting that into place immediately saves heartache down the track. Essential areas covered include teaching your puppy to be calm and enjoy its own company; crate training (if required); socialising; toilet training; good manners - mouthing, biting and jumping up; and the beginning of obedience.
2 hour sessions (initial consult) $175.00
1 hour session (additional visits) $ 85.00
Puppies can join my weekly classes or five week course from the age of 5 months.
Walk and Train Program (without owner - owner must be familiar with Dog Savvy training method)
This program is offered to owners who have previously trained with Dog Savvy and are familiar with the style of training so they reinforce the training.
If you are too busy or unable to walk and/or train your dog we can come to your home and walk and train your dog while you are at work or away. We can also target specific problems you may be having with your dog.
Dogs need constant training throughout their lives. Even if already trained your dog can quickly slip back into old habits unless the desired behaviour is reinforced. We will teach or reinforce the basic obedience commands together with good manner exercises. If you have any specific training requirements let us know.
This program is ideal for dogs who are left at home alone for long periods of time. You will quickly notice the difference around home as most dogs enjoy the interaction and stimulation of their walk and train.
1 hour walk and train $ 80.00
Price drops if more walks done within
a 7 day period -
2 x 1 hour walk and train $145.00
