Basil can develop a training program using a holistic approach to suit your needs and lifestyle. As long as you are prepared to practice what you are taught at each session, you are guaranteed results.
The amount of sessions depends on each individual. However, in most cases programs can be designed from two to five sessions excluding the initial consultation.
Behavioural problems can be stressful for you and your dog...
Hard-pressed for time or having to travel a long distance?
Learn how to communicate with your dog so he listens when you speak...
Is your dog a good fit for interacting positively with strangers and other dogs?
“When I first started professional dog training 30 years ago, my mission was to provide high quality training programs to dog owners across Melbourne by employing a holistic approach for each client.
I’m probably more a coach for dog owners than just a trainer. I will teach you simple yet effective methods to take control of your dog and make your canine household a happier one.”
