WHY CHOOSE POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT
Positive reinforcement dog training is a modern, science-based method that teaches dogs through rewards instead of punishment. This approach builds confidence, strengthens the dog-owner bond and leads to reliable behaviour without force or fear. Research shows that force-free dog training not only works better, but also protects a dog’s emotional wellbeing, making it ideal for both puppies and adult dogs.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Do you come to my home for training?
Yes. All private lessons are in-home, which means I come to you anywhere on the Gold Coast. Training takes place in real environments where behaviour matters most, not in a classroom.
What suburbs on the Gold Coast do you service?
I train in Southport, Main Beach, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Mermaid Waters, Miami, Burleigh Heads, Burleigh Waters, Palm Beach, Currumbin and Tugun. If you are just outside these suburbs, please ask.
Do you train puppies and adult dogs?
Yes. I work with puppies, adolescent dogs and adult dogs, including rescues. Training is tailored to age, temperament and behaviour needs.
What methods do you use?
I use positive reinforcement and force-free training only. No e-collars, prong collars or intimidation. Training is based on modern, science-backed behaviour principles so your dog learns through trust, not fear.
Can you help with behaviour issues like barking, pulling or reactivity?
Yes. I regularly work with dogs who bark, jump, pull on the lead, ignore recall, struggle with visitors or react to other dogs. Private lessons are ideal for behaviour support because they are fully customised.
How long is each session?
Each in-home private lesson runs for 60 minutes. This gives us time to assess your dog, demonstrate exercises, coach you through training and leave you with a clear plan.
How many sessions do I need?
Most families choose the 4-week training program because it allows enough time to build real progress and confidence. Single sessions are available if you need a one-off consultation.
What do I need to have ready before the lesson?
A hungry dog, treats your dog loves, a flat collar or harness and a lead. I bring any extra training equipment we may need.
Do you offer weekend or evening appointments?
Gold Coast private lessons are available on Fridays. If you need a different day, please ask and I will do my best to help.
How do I book?
You can book online through the website. Choose a single session or the 4-week training package and select your preferred time. If you need help choosing, contact me and I can point you in the right direction.
