Are you a proud dog owner? Have you ever wondered why dog training is important?

Whether you have a new puppy or an older dog, investing time in their training can make all the difference. From potty training to leash manners, teaching your dog these essential skills will not only make them more enjoyable to be around, but also keep them and you safe in various situations. And let's not forget about the mental stimulation that comes with learning new things - it can help prevent boredom and destructive behaviour.

Canine Wise focus on more than just obedience; we dive deep into behavioural training, helping you understand your dog’s unique needs and motivations. Our expert trainers empower you to take control, ensuring your dog listens and respects you even in the absence of treats. We tackle the root causes of behavioural problems, creating lasting solutions for even the most troublesome pups.

is your dog having a problem with...

Barking

Is your dog barking at the door bell, the neighbours, other dogs, or at everything?  Excessive barking is a nuisance and can be a sign of other issues.

Anxiety

Does your dog show signs of anxiety, such as separation, nervousness, fear of thunder and loud noises? Or is he very destructive or escaping? Anxiety can often get worse if not treated.

Jumping Up

Is your dog jumping on you when you come home or on visitors, or just all the time? Jumping is a nuisance and potentially dangerous – they won’t just “grow out of it".

Pulling on their lead

Is your dog pulling you down the street or when he sees other dogs or people. Pulling displays a lack of control and turns walking your dog from an enjoyable experience to a chore.

Digging

Is your dog digging her way to China and turning your backyard into a mud pile?  Excessive digging can be a sign of serious underlying problems. Canine Wise in home training can provide you with strategies to address these issues.

Biting

Is  your dog  play biting, mouthing or nipping? These are not acceptable behaviours in any form, and can lead to aggression. Canine Wise in-home training uses gentle techniques to address aggression and give you confidence in your dog.

Aggression

Has your dog growled or snapped at you or other people? Or has he attacked another dog aggressively? Aggression can manifest itself in different ways, which could lead to serious consequences, if not dealt with properly.

Obedience

Would you like your dog to listen to you – at home, out walking or at the dog park? Is he running out of the front door or not coming back when called? Basic obedience is the foundation to a well behaved dog, and a happy life with you.

Testimonials

Our customers love our work

Ringo has slowly but surely gained confidence and is now a lot more independent than he was when he first arrived. He walks beautifully on his lead, sits, and stays on command and will wait patiently until we have finished our meals before he has his food. He also walks into his dog pen voluntarily, without a lead but must say he is immensely happy to see us when we come home!

We were of course very concerned at first about letting him off his lead, but can now happily report that we take him to Bayview doggy park where he runs freely, playing happily with the other dogs and returns easily to us on command. In fact, he never lets us out of his sight and even when playing is always watching that we are there.

John, we have to say Ringo is an absolute joy and your advice and help at an early stage of his development with us has proved invaluable.

Many thanks for all your help.
