Programs & pricing
Straight prices, no surprise add-ons. Group courses run five weeks; private work is priced per session, and every third session packages itself.
Basic obedience
$260 5-week course
For dogs 5 months and up. Loose-lead walking, sit-stay, down, leave it, and polite greetings — on a real oval with real distractions.
Private sessions
from $180 per session
One-on-one at your home or the oval, built around your dog's specific problem. Pulling, jumping, door-bolting — we work the actual habit.
3-session packages
$480 saves $60
The package applies automatically per full three sessions on the planner — no code, no upsell. Three sessions is where change sticks.
Recall bootcamp
from $180 same session rates
A long-line curriculum for dogs whose recall is a rumour. Bootcamp is a curriculum, not a surcharge — you pay standard session rates.
Reactive-dog programs
priced after a behaviour consult
Lunging, barking at dogs or bikes, fear-based behaviour. The dog sets the plan, not a price list — we start with a consult and build from there.
From the oval
What owners tell us after the lead goes slack.
★★★★★
“Twelve months of being dragged to the oval, and now Banjo walks past the café tables on a loose lead. The staffy is calmer than I am.”
★★★★★
“Our recall used to be a suggestion. Three long-line sessions later, Ziggy turned away from a passing cat mid-stride and came back. I still tell people.”
★★★★★
“Puppy school made the vet visit boring. Mabel sat on the scale, took her treat, and the nurse asked who trained her.”

Based in Balcatta, training the north
Group classes run on our Balcatta oval. Private sessions come to you — home, park, or the street your dog actually loses it on. Northern corridor first; private work travels metro-wide.

Questions we get at the oval
What does “force-free” actually mean?
No check chains, no e-collars, no leash pops — ever. We build behaviour with rewards your dog actually cares about, and we manage the environment so the wrong choice is hard to make. It's not softer; it's just better science, and it holds up when you're not holding treats.
Group class or private sessions — which one?
Group if your dog needs skills around other dogs and you want the best value — that's puppy school and basic obedience. Private if there's one specific habit wrecking your walks, or your dog can't yet cope in a class. Ring us and describe the problem; we'll tell you honestly which one fits.
How many private sessions will we actually need?
Most owners see real change in three — that's why the 3-session package exists. Long-standing habits take closer to six. We won't sell you a tenth session; if it's not working by then, the plan is wrong, not the dog.
Do you train the dog, or me?
You. The dog picks things up in minutes — it's the humans who need the reps. Every session ends with you handling the exercise while we coach, because you're the one holding the lead on Tuesday morning.
What should I bring to a class?
A flat collar or front-attach harness, a regular lead (no retractables), the good treats — cut small — and your dog's vaccination record for puppy school. Water and shade are on us.
Why doesn't the reactive-dog program have a price?
Because the dog sets the plan, not a price list. A dog that barks at bikes and a dog that lunges at every dog it sees need very different programs, and quoting one number for both would be a guess. We start with a behaviour consult, then price the plan we actually recommend.

Tell us about the dog — we'd call you back within one business day, usually the same afternoon. Prefer to talk now? (08) 9000 0313, Tuesday to Saturday.
Sessions run mornings and evenings, Tuesday–Saturday, from the Balcatta oval or at your place. If it's urgent — a bite, a bolt, a new rescue unravelling — say so in the form and we'll ring first.
Thanks — consider it on the whiteboard.
We'd call you back within one business day to lock in times and talk through your dog.
