At PAWSonal Training we provide a personalised service, because every dog is unique, every owner is unique, and every situation is unique. Whether it be welcoming a new puppy into your home, rehabilitating a recently acquired rescue dog, improving general obedience with your existing pet, or dealing with a serious behavioural issue, we help you develop and strengthen the bond between you and your dog through effective communication so that the relationship between you and your dog can be transformed. Communication is a two-way process, and many of the problems owners encounter with their pets stem from the fact that, unwittingly, the necessary communication has broken down, never existed in the first place, or has become a one-way stream of commands directed at the dog from the owner―or even a stream of commands directed at the owner from the dog. With this in mind, at PAWSonal Training, we often utilise a highly-trained and specialised instructor dog―your own ‘canine’ PAWSonal Trainer―working together with our qualified ‘human’ PAWSonal Trainer to achieve the results you want. Let us help you develop a bond that will last a lifetime.

Cino

“My dog Cino had absolutely no confidence. He was scared of his own shadow and would cower at the sight of larger dogs — Problem solved!!! Thanks PAWSonal Training.”

Mark, Werribee.

Russell

“Thanks, guys. Russell used to be so reactive to other dogs that it was stressful taking him for a walk. I now enjoy my walks with him.”

Philippa, Ocean Grove.

“My 4-year-old Jack Russell was acting aggressively towards other dogs, which made it very difficult to walk her. Daniel’s training techniques were positive and caring and in just a few short sessions, he not only taught her to behave better but taught me how to continue the training. I can now walk my dog with a lot more confidence as she is no longer aggressive. From my own experience, I highly recommend Daniel and his training techniques.”

Penny, Drysdale.

“Daniel has a unique quality of understanding a dog’s psyche and the affinity he has with them during training is obvious. After a scare, my dog Georgie had become fearful and nervous. In the sessions, I saw Daniel encouraging her beyond her fear barriers with the fun side of his training techniques. He engaged Georgie and gave her the confidence to trust him until every hurdle was overcome. Daniel also helped me with clear ongoing explanations of the progress, as well as giving ‘homework’ to continue the training after the sessions. I would not hesitate to recommend his services.”

Mavournee, Ocean Grove.

“An exceptional combination of great professional expertise, a personable approach and a unique ability to determine the best sequenced approach to any problem all ensured a highly successful training outcome for both my dog Curly and me. I highly recommend PAWSonal Training.”

Victoria, Portarlington.
