PUPPY BEHAVIOUR TRAINING
MELBOURNE
⭐ Why Early Training Matters
Puppies absorb everything.
Good habits, bad habits, the energy of their environment — it all shapes them.
Early training prevents:
Starting early is the easiest way to avoid costly, stressful behaviour issues later.
🧩 My Puppy Training Approach
I don’t use cookie-cutter training.
Every puppy is different — temperament, genetics, energy level, confidence, history.
My approach includes:
Calm energy techniques
Confidence building
Boundary setting
Behaviour shaping
Positive leadership
Environmental exposure
Balanced training methods
Preventing anxiety before it forms
And unlike a lot of trainers…
I don’t “over-socialise” puppies.
I teach controlled, structured exposure, not overwhelming free-for-all experiences that can damage confidence.
Puppy Behaviour Training
Setting Your Puppy Up for a Calm, Confident, and Balanced Life
If you are located in Melbourne then you’ve come to the right place.
A puppy’s first months shape the dog they will become for the rest of their life. With over 40 years of experience and awarded Trainer of the Year 2025, I specialise in creating strong foundations from day one — helping puppies grow into confident, well-mannered, emotionally balanced dogs.
Whether your puppy is showing early signs of anxiety, nipping, jumping, over-excitement, or you simply want to start correctly, I provide clear, structured guidance that helps you avoid future behaviour problems.
🐶 Common Puppy Behaviour Problems I Can Help You With
✔ Puppy biting / nipping
Understanding why puppies bite and how to redirect it calmly.
✔ Jumping and over-excitement
Teaching your puppy impulse control and calmness around people.
✔ Toilet training
Simple routines that work fast.
✔ Crate training & independence
Preventing separation anxiety before it starts.
✔ Chewing & destructive behaviour
Teaching boundaries and structure so your puppy feels safe.
✔ Socialisation
Not “letting them meet everything” — but exposing them correctly and safely.

Sit, stay, recall, leash manners — the balanced way.
✔ Introducing rules, structure & leadership
Your calm, consistent energy shapes the dog’s behaviour.
🧠 Preventing Anxiety From Day One
Many anxious dogs I work with today started showing small signs as puppies.
Early warning signs include:
Crying when left alone
Velcro behaviour
Excessive excitement
Fear of noises
Startle responses
Over-dependence on one person
I help you identify and correct these behaviours immediately, before they evolve into long-term issues.
