At Busy Pawz, we believe dog training should be a fun, positive experience that strengthens the bond between you and your dog. Our training philosophy is rooted in positive reinforcement, focusing on rewarding good behaviour and setting your dog up for success, not failure.

Understanding the “Why” Behind Behaviour

To truly help your dog, you need to understand why they are behaving the way they do. If you don't understand the root cause, it’s difficult to effectively support your dog. Simply correcting individual behaviours without understanding the bigger picture is simply a bandaid solution.

​

Training Tailored to Your Dog

Every dog is unique, so I tailor my approach to meet the needs of your dog’s personality, learning style, and any specific behavioural challenges. Whether it’s getting your dog to calmly walk on a lead, come when called, or manage excitement around distractions, my training plans are personalised to fit you and your dog’s life.

​

We’re all about making training FUN and simple by teaching your dog important skills through engaging activities (aka games) that they love. These games are designed to improve focus, build confidence, and make learning enjoyable for both you and your dog.

 

Building Trust & Understanding

The foundation of our training is about building trust and understanding between you and your dog. We take the time to show you how to read your dog’s body language and signals, so you can better understand what they’re trying to communicate. When you know what your dog needs, it’s easier to support them, and that means less stress and more fun in your daily life.

 

Positive, Practical, and Results-Driven

We focus on creating positive training experiences that encourage your dog to make good choices. There’s no punishment or harsh methods—just clear, consistent communication and rewards. From puppy basics to solving more complex behaviour issues, our goal is to create results that last, helping you both enjoy life together.

​

Whether you're dealing with pulling on the lead, recall struggles, or other behaviour concerns, we’ll work with you to problem-solve not just the current challenge but provide you with tools to tackle any behaviour that comes up. Our focus is to give you the skills and confidence to manage your dog’s behaviour positively and effectively.
